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, British Trad, 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.
When you edit an existing logbook entry, the grade picker uses your current grade scale and regrades the saved entry 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 |
| British Trad | UK traditional climbing grades | HVS 5a, E2 5c |
British Trad Grades
British Trad grades have two components:
| Component | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Adjectival | Overall difficulty and seriousness | Mod, Diff, VDiff, HVD, Sev, HS, VS, HVS, E1–E12 |
| Technical | Hardest move difficulty | 3a–8c |
When logging British Trad climbs, you select each component from its own dropdown. The two selections combine to form the complete grade (e.g. selecting HVS and 5a gives you HVS 5a).
Both dropdowns show the full range of options. You can select them in either order — the adjectival grade first, or the technical grade first.
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
Viewing Your Data
Grade Pyramids
Go to Metrics → Logbooks to see your grade pyramid and statistics.
You can:
- Toggle repeats and attempts on/off
- Switch between pyramid and bar chart views
- Edit any past entry directly
Pitches Tab (Route Logbooks)
Route logbooks include a Pitches tab that tracks your climbing volume over time. This helps you monitor training load, spot trends, and set volume-based goals.
Viewing Pitch Metrics
Open Metrics → Logbooks and select a route logbook, then click the Pitches tab.
Time Periods
Switch between different aggregations to analyse your climbing volume:
| Period | Description |
|---|---|
| Sessions | Pitches per climbing day |
| Weekly | Pitches per week |
| Monthly | Pitches per month |
| Yearly | Pitches per year |
Pitch Counts
Each period shows two pitch totals:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Pitches | Total number of pitches climbed (all ascent styles) |
| Clean Pitches | Pitches completed cleanly — onsight, flash, or redpoint only |
Style Breakdown
View how your pitches break down by ascent style. Each period shows counts for onsight, flash, redpoint, attempt, work, and repeat ascents.
Graph and Table Views
Toggle between visualisations:
- Graph — Bar chart showing pitch totals over time with milestones and goals displayed
- Table — Detailed breakdown with pitch counts, clean pitches, and style totals per period
Your display preference is saved between visits.
Statistics
The Pitches tab calculates:
- Total — Sum of pitches in the selected date range
- Average — Mean pitches per period (partial periods excluded)
- Rolling Average — Trend line smoothing out day-to-day variation
Partial periods (like the current incomplete week) are visually marked and excluded from average calculations to keep your statistics accurate.
Goals and Milestones
If you have active goals or milestones, they appear on the pitch graph. This helps you track progress toward volume targets alongside your climbing data.
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
British Trad Climbing
- Select the adjectival grade (e.g. HVS, E2) for overall difficulty
- Select the technical grade (e.g. 5a, 5c) for the hardest move
- Both components combine to give your complete grade
Track Pitch Volume
- Use the Pitches tab to monitor training load over time
- Compare clean pitch ratios to assess quality vs quantity
- Set weekly or monthly pitch goals for structured volume targets
