About this app

KAYA is your ultimate climbing guide—built by climbers, for climbers. Use KAYA to discover new climbs, watch beta videos, log your sends, and track your progress over time. Whether you're projecting your hardest grade or exploring a new area, KAYA helps you climb smarter with GPS maps, offline topos, and real-time updates from trusted guidebook authors. Connect with friends, share your beta, and celebrate every send with the most psyched community in climbing.

-Guide-
All the data, beta, and resources in one place. KAYA PRO makes outdoor climbing more accessible and convenient than ever before with verified GPS coordinates, interactive topos, and detailed climb descriptions. Official KAYA Guides are available for classic areas like Bishop, Joe’s Valley, and more — all available offline for when the service gets rough.

- Track Progress -
With thousands of gyms and climbing areas in our database, KAYA offers a superior logging experience. Videos, ascents, comments, and star ratings are all available within each climb page. If you’ve kept a logbook with another app or website in the past, you can easily upload it into KAYA through your profile page.

- Connect -
KAYA is community-focused. You’ll be notified when your buddy breaks into a new grade so you can leave ‘em a fist-bump and a comment. In-app messenger allows you to connect with other climbers, and, if your gym is on KAYA, receive new set notifications when the routesetting team finishes slinging the freshies.

- Compete -
KAYA challenges are one of the best ways to stay motivated and interact competitively with the climbing community. Go up against the world’s best or compete with your friends at your local competition.

It doesn’t stop there. We are always making changes and improvements to KAYA. Keep your updates turned on so you won’t miss a thing.

This app is full of great ideas and well designed. There are still a lot of bugs. I'm sure they'll get ironed out, but here are the ones I've experienced in case it helps. 1. I often have to force close the app to run it 2. Peoples beta videos sometimes don't load 3. Clicking a map area to reveal bolder problems doesn't work. I have to exit the area, re-enter and then it works 4. Swiping to send a problem nearly always scrolls instead It's a great app though and I have high hopes for it!

I like the app overall, makes logging climbs easier, however tapping on boulders isn't very accurate (on the map when you see the colour's). Logging attempts, perceived difficulty could be more intuitive (scrolling option without having to tap anywhere first?) But the most annoying thing is that videos randomly reset to the start for no reason. That seriously needs to be looked at!

After March 29th update 2/5 -> 3/5: Overall a useful app. Great to track climbs and projects. UX has improved slightly, definitely feels better than it was but still lags after swiping sends (would honestly prefer a loading spinner telling me when I can interact with the interface again). Moving around is quicker but it shows the whole gym instead of just the selected section now (?!?). Still have to scroll to the bottom to end a session.
