the birth of pbl.
by climbers, for climbers

pbl began when three software engineers who loved climbing struggled to track their progress. frustrated by inefficient notepads and spreadsheets, we set out to create a simple app for ourselves.
our idea quickly evolved from a basic digital logbook into a comprehensive climbing ecosystem. pbl is the tool we wished we had when we started climbing - combining our tech expertise with our passion for scaling new heights.
it's our way of revolutionizing how climbers track, analyze, and share their vertical journeys.

top FAQs

your pbl questions answered.

how does the pbl system track my climbs?

the pbl system uses strategically placed RFID checkpoint tags on climbing routes. as you climb, you scan these checkpoints with your wearable pbl Device, which logs your progress and sends the data to your smartphone app.

is pbl compatible with outdoor climbing?

yes, pbl is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. for outdoor locations, checkpoint tags can be installed on popular routes, allowing climbers to track their progress on natural rock faces just as they would in a gym.

can I use pbl if my local gym isn't pbl-enabled?

while pbl offers the most comprehensive experience in pbl-enabled facilities, you can still use many features independently. the app can track manual entries, and you can participate in global challenges and the pbl community. we're continuously expanding our network of pbl-enabled gyms.

how does pbl protect my privacy and data?

pbl takes data privacy seriously. your climbing data is encrypted and securely stored. you have full control over what information is shared publicly, with friends, or kept private. facilities only receive aggregated, anonymized data unless you choose to share more.
