What we stand for

Every climber a temporary local.

A climbing world where people discover destinations through trusted local knowledge, feel part of the local community, and help keep crags healthy, accessible, and alive for future generations. Visitors arrive knowing where to park, when a sector is closed, who bolted the routes and where to get a good coffee.

Our mission

CragLocal brings climbers closer to the places they climb, inspiring connection, contribution, and respect.

What it means for your region

Visitors who respect your closures, park where you ask, support local businesses and leave your crags better than they found them.

For regions

What your region gets

Your region, your name

Your region gets its own space in the app, with its name, photos, crags and news. It reads like your guide, because your people write it.

Closures climbers see

Post an access change or a seasonal closure and it's in the app straight away, next to the routes it affects.

Local businesses get found

Guides, gear shops, cafés and places to stay go on your region's map, where visiting climbers are already looking.

Numbers you can report

We track how climbers use your region (subscribers, active climbers, offline downloads, logged ascents) and share the figures with you.

Our launch partner

Hvar came first.

CragLocal started on Hvar, and the island's guide has grown with the app. Every crag on the island is mapped, and local climbers keep it current with news, a community map of local places and a region chat.

Founding regions

Bring CragLocal to your region

We add regions one at a time so each one gets proper attention. Early regions get founding-partner terms and a say in what we build next.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your region

    Who looks after the climbing, which crags you'd start with, and what climbers should know before they come.

  2. 2

    We set it up together

    We bring in your route lists and topos, add crags, photos and maps, and show your team how to edit everything.

  3. 3

    Your team keeps it current

    Post news, closures and new routes from your phone whenever something changes. No technical skills needed.
