for climbers
remember every climb.
log every send. earn a level that's real. your climbs shape the next set.
free, on iPhone through TestFlight.
logging
log it mid-session or on the couch.
find the route by name, grade or color, and log it in a few taps. tries, high point, done.
log it later.
backdate the session to the day you climbed.
grade path
your level, from what you sent.
one per discipline, worked out from six months of sends. “2 more sends to break into V5.” verified, with a date.
the grades you've sent.
each grade, the sends behind it, and the one you're projecting next.
your level keeps its date.
go quiet for a while and the card says so, dated to the last send that earned your level, which stays yours.
the feed
one card per visit.
it fills up as you climb. your big moments get the big card, whatever grade you climb.
fist bumps.
buddies and followers cheer a visit with one tap.
finish a challenge.
join one at your gym. your sends count toward it, and some end with a reward.
your sessions, shared with the people you pick.
share your session with your crew as it happens, and with followers once it ends. it stays off until you turn it on.
your gym
follow your gym.
see what's on the wall before you walk in. follow your gym, and its new sets land in your feed.
last chance to send it.
get on it before it's gone. "leaving soon" shows what comes down next. "not climbed" shows what's still waiting for you.
help shape the next set.
rate and review what you climb. your setters see what you love, right on each route's page.
custom gyms
any gym, even one pbl doesn't list.
add it as a custom gym with its own routes, and a road-trip gym or the board in your garage goes in the same log. those climbs stay out of your level.
questions climbers ask
is it free?
yes. gyms pay for the portal, so logging climbs, rating routes and seeing your level cost you nothing.
my gym isn't on pbl.
log there anyway: add it as a custom gym with its own routes. then send your gym to go‑pbl.com/portal, where gyms join the beta.
which phones?
iPhone, through TestFlight, the free app that installs betas. join the iPhone beta list from the app page and your invite comes by email when a spot opens.
email, invite, first send.
drop your email and, when your spot opens, we'll send your TestFlight invite. install TestFlight, then pbl, and log your first send.
