Logbook
The Logbook widget tracks your climbing sessions. Examples include routes, boulders, grades, locations, and ascent styles. Use it indoors or outdoors to build a complete picture of your climbing history.
Adding a Logbook Widget
Open your workout
Navigate to the workout where you want to add climbing logging.
Add the widget
Click Add Widget and select Logbook.
Choose the type
Pick from: Route, Boulder, Route (Indoor), Boulder (Indoor), or Route (Mixed/Ice).
Keep workouts focused with one logbook type. If you need flexibility (outdoor session that might move indoors), add both Route and Route (Indoor) widgets.
Configuring Your Logbook
Go to Workouts → Widgets → Logbook to configure:
- Grade Scale — YDS, French, Ewbank, Hueco, Font, Mixed/Ice, etc.
- Entry Flags — Customise flags like “Repeat”, “Top rope”, “Exclude from stats”
Travelling overseas? Temporarily switch your grade scale, then change it back when you return. Your stats will convert automatically.
Grade Scales
Route Grades
| Scale | Description | Example Grades |
|---|---|---|
| YDS | Yosemite Decimal System (USA) | 5.10a, 5.12c |
| French | French sport climbing grades | 6a, 7b+, 8a |
| Ewbank | Australian/NZ system | 18, 25, 32 |
Boulder Grades
| Scale | Description | Example Grades |
|---|---|---|
| Hueco | V-scale (USA) | V3, V8, V12 |
| Font | Fontainebleau (Europe) | 6A, 7A+, 8B |
Mixed/Ice Grades
The Mixed / Ice grade scale is designed for mixed climbing and ice routes. It includes three grade types displayed in a multi-column selector for easy navigation:
| Grade Type | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| M grades | M4–M15 | Mixed climbing difficulty (rock and ice) |
| D grades | D4–D15 | Dry tooling difficulty |
| WI grades | WI1–WI7 | Water ice difficulty |
Mixed/Ice logbooks use a dedicated grade scale and cannot be switched to other route scales. Create a separate Route logbook if you also climb rock routes.
Logging Climbs
Each entry captures:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Route/boulder name (optional, autocompletes from history) |
| Grade | Selected from your configured scale |
| Location | Crag, gym, or area (autocompletes from history) |
| Style | How you climbed it (see below) |
| Attempts | Number of tries (empty = 1) |
| Notes | Beta, conditions, or other details |
Ascent Styles
- Onsight — First attempt, no prior knowledge
- Flash — First attempt with beta
- Redpoint — Sent after previous attempts
- Attempt — Tried to send, unsuccessful
- Work — Practiced moves without intent to complete
- Repeat — Previously completed route

- Edit any past entry directly
Session View
Within a scheduled workout, view all entries for that session. Drag to reorder if needed.
Tips
Project Sessions
- Use Attempt when going for the send
- Use Work when practicing moves or refining beta
Avoid Overlogging
- Indoor bouldering: Focus on limit and volume session highlights, not every warmup
- Outdoor: Log warmups too, tracking volume helps assess performance patterns
Consistency
- Use consistent location names for better filtering
- Use flags to keep statistics clean (track repeats, top-rope vs lead, etc.)
Mixed/Ice Climbing
- Use the dedicated Mixed/Ice logbook for alpine and ice routes
- M grades for mixed, D grades for dry tooling, WI grades for pure water ice
