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.

It takes ages to upload a video, only for it to fail the upload. I can send the same video 10 times faster (not an exaggeration) through text, discord, Instagram, literally anything else. I usually understand why it fails to upload, but I have no clue why it takes forever. I can send a video to my friends standing in the same spot with worse service. I got over it for over a year, but now I'm struggling to submit videos for points in a competition and I'm very frustrated.

Started a trial to try it out for one day. Worked quite well but I canceled within one day because I won't be climbing outside until after the summer. It charged my card even though I canceled well before the end of the trial. Won't be coming back unfortunately for this reason

Overall a useful app for climbing. My main qualm is rating the relative grade of a boulder effects your ascents. If you send a super soft 7 and review it as a 5 that boulder will show up as a 5 not a 7 in your ascents.... super annoying as its a disincentive for people to rate climbs fairly instead of grade chase. It also makes it difficult to view the climbing grades of other people without clicking on every climb to see what the actual set grade is.
