What is Røky?

Røky is where climbing comes together. Find new places to climb, explore detailed topos, log every send, track your projects, and build your training around real progress. From discovering your next route to getting stronger for it, Røky gives you the tools to climb more, train smarter, and keep progressing. Explore the map on the web, or download the app for the full experience.

Røky offers eight tests covering finger strength, pulling power, power endurance, lock-offs, and core strength. Follow guided protocols, log your results, and track how your performance changes over time.

08

Which grade systems does it use?

Use the grading system you know best. Røky supports V-Scale and Font for bouldering, plus YDS and French grades for routes. Choose your preferred system in your settings.

10

Can I find gyms and outdoor crags?

Absolutely. Explore gyms and outdoor crags around the world, discover new places to climb, and find the details you need before you go. Filter by climbing style or place type, then sort by distance, rating, popularity, or what’s new. Each place brings together useful details like photos, access, conditions, routes, pricing, hours, and more.

11

Can I browse the map without installing anything?

Yes. Explore Røky’s climbing directory right here on the web — search for gyms and crags, filter your options, and explore routes and climbing details. No app or account required.

12

How do I add a gym or crag that is missing?

Help grow the map by adding missing gyms, crags, and routes. Once you reach Gecko tier, you can submit new places directly from the app. Add the details, photos, access information, and more, then our community moderation process reviews it before it goes live — with the contribution credited to you.

13

What are route topos, and can I log ascents?

Explore routes with hand-drawn topos that show you exactly where they climb on the wall. Log every ascent as an attempt, redpoint, flash, or onsight, then add routes to your projects and track them until you send.

14

Something on a listing is wrong. How do I fix it?

Help keep Røky accurate by reporting incorrect information from any gym, crag, sector, or route in the app. Your report goes to moderation so the correction can improve the listing for everyone — and you earn XP for contributing.

Community

Who elseis on it.

15

How does the XP and tier system work?

Earn XP by contributing to the community — log ascents, complete workouts, add projects, write reviews, react to sends, and report problems. Progress through five tiers: Guppy, Gecko, Ibex, Puma, and Spider Monkey. Higher tiers unlock more ways to contribute, including adding places and routes and creating route topos. You can also climb the leaderboard along the way.

16

How do reviews and submissions work?

Share your experience by rating gyms across environment, facilities, staff, and overall quality, or leave an overall rating for a crag. You can also submit places that are missing from the map. Community contributions are reviewed before going live, helping keep Røky useful while keeping the experience built around real-world knowledge from other climbers.

17

Can I follow other climbers?

Yes. Find climbers, explore their public profiles and grade pyramids, and follow their progress. Celebrate their sends with reactions and congratulations, while your feed keeps you connected to what’s happening across the community.

18

How do first ascents work?

If a route already credits you as its first ascent, you can claim it directly from the route. Once approved, your first ascents are linked to your profile, giving you a record of the routes you’ve established.

19

Who reviews what climbers submit?

New places and routes are reviewed before they appear on the map. Trusted contributors with curator access can publish directly, while other submissions go through the moderation queue. Reviews help keep the map useful, but information such as grades, access, and gear should still be considered community-sourced rather than independently verified.

20

How do I sign in?

Sign in with email and password, Google, or Apple on iOS.

21

Does it work offline?

Yes. Røky is built to keep you climbing even without a connection. Workouts, sessions, drafts, and new submissions can be created offline and synced when you’re back online.

22

Is my data backed up?

Your profile, ascents, projects, and assessment results are stored in the cloud and available when you sign in on a new device.

23

What data do you collect?

Røky collects the information needed to provide your account, profile, climbing activity, and training experience. Depending on your permissions, this can include location, photos, and notifications. Website analytics only load when you give consent. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

24

How do I delete my account?

You can delete your account from the app or through our account deletion page. Deletion is permanent: your account is disabled, your identity is removed, and your name is removed from the activity you’ve contributed.
