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”
Logbook settings showing grade scale and flag configuration options

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

ScaleDescriptionExample Grades
YDSYosemite Decimal System (USA)5.10a, 5.12c
FrenchFrench sport climbing grades6a, 7b+, 8a
EwbankAustralian/NZ system18, 25, 32
British TradUK traditional climbing gradesHVS 5a, E2 5c

British Trad Grades

British Trad grades have two components:

ComponentDescriptionExamples
AdjectivalOverall difficulty and seriousnessMod, Diff, VDiff, HVD, Sev, HS, VS, HVS, E1–E12
TechnicalHardest move difficulty3a–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

ScaleDescriptionExample Grades
HuecoV-scale (USA)V3, V8, V12
FontFontainebleau (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 TypeRangeDescription
M gradesM4–M15Mixed climbing difficulty (rock and ice)
D gradesD4–D15Dry tooling difficulty
WI gradesWI1–WI7Water 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:

FieldDescription
NameRoute/boulder name (optional, autocompletes from history)
GradeSelected from your configured scale
LocationCrag, gym, or area (autocompletes from history)
StyleHow you climbed it (see below)
AttemptsNumber of tries (empty = 1)
NotesBeta, 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:

PeriodDescription
SessionsPitches per climbing day
WeeklyPitches per week
MonthlyPitches per month
YearlyPitches per year

Pitch Counts

Each period shows two pitch totals:

MetricDescription
PitchesTotal number of pitches climbed (all ascent styles)
Clean PitchesPitches 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
