Mountain Project Hack 4.5.4 + Redeem Codes

For climbers, there is really nothing else unless you want to pay the money for a guide book everywhere you go. Mountain project really has an amazing amount of climbing to look into and find for what it is.

The only reason I didn’t do a full 5 stars would be the apps user friendliness. It has been getting consistently better but in my opinion one of the biggest benefits of the app is photos and often my app glitches and won’t save the photos even after they are downloaded for offline viewing (most places I climb don’t have service).

Other than that they have made some other big improvements like book marking and i hope more people continue to use it so it can be even more useful.

Most comprehensive climbing app I’m aware of. Pretty much every climber uses it and saves carrying up a guidebook.
Needs some fixes tho, comments always dory oldest first, and offers no way to change it. Went to a local crag and ended up taking a nasty trail that has been marked as “closed” in new comments, but 12 year old comments were what showed up first and took me the wrong way.
Photos are also difficult to view, and I still can’t figure out the proper motion to open their descriptions (helpful for topo labeling). Just make it so you tap and they expand.
Would love if they could help make identifying routes in areas easier, so everyone isn’t playing the “what are you on? Okay what’s next it? Is that on MP?” game trying to figure out what they’re climbing. Maybe add a feature where users can submit a specific photo for the belay spot?

First glance info is very helpful. However for a beginner climber I wish there is more hand holding like the app for hiking “All Trail,” where gps and detail direction is available. But I am not sure the climbing culture would accept paying for additional hand holding informations.

Some comments doesn’t seem to have context or help you put things in perspective. Seems like those making the comments are hard core climbers. Taking their advice can lead to over confidence, under estimation of the route or don’t bring enough protection.

Bob Gain’s book seems to put things a little better for some one new to Joshua Tree. E.g. the approach is confusing, the climb rating is hard and the descend is insane if not outright dangerous.

The Mountain Project is an outstanding resource to the climbing community. Research and discovery are great methods to make the most of your vacation or road trip. With the Mountain Project I can find what I need to plan the best adventures or find the best crags. The map feature and ability to share info within our broader community for others is key. The Mountain Project Provides it’s community the tools they need to put together comprehensive perspectives on the whole deal. From the approach, climbing and conditions, beta all the way to other local businesses to check out after climbing is done for the day. Thanks All, I really appreciate this sites and the community working hard to keep the dream a reality.

I absolutely love the ability to salivate over the pictures and the write ups people provide for routes.

As the pandemic has put off the gyms it’s challenging to find accessible areas for people just getting in to outdoor climbing. There are incredible people that bolt and put a lot of work in on the routes and communicate here to better the information available. I’m especially thankful to the developers, the access fund, and all the trail blazers that formed the trails cleaned the routes and posted about it.

Let me preface by saying that I love MP and I use it frequently. However, the website is a lot more helpful than the app in terms of finding information and tracking ticks.

The app, from my interpretation, is meant to be used offline. That's great, especially when you're climbing in no service areas. However, because of its offline convenience, the app is terrible at updating when route names, grades, etc. are changed. In order to update an area, you have to delete the area and then re-download it (even though I have auto-update turned on).

On top of that, despite re-downloading an area, the route names and areas still don't change - yet on the website, these changes are immediate. How, if the app and site are linked, do the changes only reflect on the website?

Only other issue to point out is that if you use the app to tick routes instead of the website, sometimes the dates seem to shift by a day or so.

Overall, great concept and cool app that isn't cluttered. I'm thankful we have an app that does the majority of what climbers need rather than no app at all.

This app is great! You can search types of climbs, such as TR, trad and sport and what they are graded as far as difficulty. This app also gives directions to these climbs so if you are new in the area, you can find them. People who comment or take pictures helps with safely making climbing decisions if you are a novice and their tips are educational. I love this app. I sometimes sit and browse and dream about future climbs. The only con is this app will keep you awake late at night because it’s full of wealthy content.

I've been using the old version of this app for years and loved it. I got a new phone and downloaded the new version and could not be more disappointed.

It's obvious a lot of money has been injected into the app, but overall the usability has taken a nose dive. It simply has not taken in climbers into consideration on use patterns.

It runs slower, navigation is awkward and weirdly goes all the way back to the state instead of area. I miss the simple and quick hierarchy without the glitchy interfaces to navigate to a wall.

You can't download a single area and are forced to get a whole state which is ridiculous when visiting a single locale in, say, California.

Automatic updates of downloaded areas when you open the app is unnecessary (that first ascent and comments in the last 3 weeks won't change my climbing plans) eats data and slows the downloading of areas I actually want to see.

I literally can't help but curse every time I try and use this app. All the data has been there and was easily accessible and has just been ruined by trying to look good and bloated down with unnecessary features.

First off, thank you too all the developers and users alike. I still buy the guide books, but photos, detailed pitch breakdowns, and GPS tags make me wonder just how crazy the salty old dogs were.

Constructive criticism:
-I’d like to be able to give beta stars on the mobile app. It’s social media type nonsense, but I want people to know I appreciate them saying a bolt has been replaced, a flake pulled off, etc.
-Push notifications when you’re at a route yet to be GPS tagged/verified? Not sure if that’s even possible.
-Am I missing something or can I not comment on routes while on mobile? I put my personal notes in my tick, but I’d love to be able to share some info while on the road, not try to remember it for when I get home. If that’s already doable, make it easier to do.

Thanks again to the devs.

Was able to download a few states and bookmark a few routes/problems about a month ago, and now the Search Area & Routes feature yields *no* results—no matter how obvious my search.
The Near Me feature simply hovers over the western US whilst properly pinning my location. Once I zoom in, a few bundled results show up. As I zoom closer to those results they disappear completely.

Location service is on, profile logged in, areas downloaded and up to date, etc. Funny thing is, the website/mobile webpage works just fine. Deleting the app and using the mobile site from now on.
