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.

Sounded like a good idea and still does but it didn't really work. Downloaded the Yosemite guide while out in the valley where the service isn't great and the app was slow and laggy. I have a brand new cell phone so it wasn't for lack of tech. Would consider again if offline guide book service worked.

I'm so sorry to hear you had a less than ideal experience in spotty service. When service is poor the app defaults to offline mode; however, spotty service can cause strange cases. We recommend flipping to airplane mode in these cases. Please also keep the app open when downloading. I'd love to help more if you'd email us @ support@kayaclimb.com 🙏

In principle, this app is great. The need for a great "climbing guide" app is real, and kaya could be it. The problem with pdf topos is that you can't easily update it, and community can't contribute. In Kaya, anyone can add climbs. The main problem in my region (Québec) is that there are no moderators yet, and it's hard to get approved as a moderator. This means no boulder map and no problem description. This should be more accessible. Also, there should be a version without the analysis stuff.

I'm kind of a numbers nerd so I love the paid subscription and all the stats you can get from tracking your climbing over time. The only thing that's remotely negative is just the delta between indoor gym grading and outdoor grading. So sometimes your indoor climbing says you're a lot better than your outdoor reality. But they have filters for that. So you can also just compare your outdoor stats.
