Description

The Gunks app provides digital guidebooks for rock climbing and bouldering written by local authors.

Climbs are accessed from a list, which can be searched and filtered. Selecting a climb reveals a base photo, the route's description, and a high-resolution zoom-able aerial photo, topo, or GPS-enabled map. The photos include belays, descent information, variations, and new link-ups.

The app uses GPS to provide navigation and find the nearest climb. It also includes a Tick List & To-Do List with cloud backup.

This app was created by local climbing fixtures Christian Fracchia and Byron Igoe, and further content was contributed by Andy Salo, Char Fetterolf, Lee Hansche, Marty Molitoris, Victor Medeiros, Dana Seaton, Chris Redmond, Charlie Schreiber, Tim McGivern, John Byrnes, Melissa McNell, Ben Blackmore, Rich Shoemaker, Austin Hoyt, Conor O'Hale, Justin Sanford, Kayte Knower, Tom Chervenak, Hillary Guzik, Paul Jung, Tim Keenan, Aleks Shineleva, Ted Coffelt, Thacher Park Climber Coalition, Ryan Shipp, Seth Derr, Larry Felton, Kyle Matulevich, Mike Rawdon, Chris Lopez, Charlie Schreiber, Rich Shoemaker, Dana Miller, Robin Close, Eric Marx, Sabrina Crispyn, Gary Thomann, Jim Lawyer, Jeremy Haas, EPAC, Andrew MacNamee, Kevin Johnson, Samuel Hayden, Justin Meserve, Tylor Streett, Peter Treitler, Justin Ridgely, and more.

The Gunks app is an indispensable resource for both the seasoned veteran and the first time climber.

Great app

Supremely useful with tons of data and great features.

Best climbing app on east coast

First off, I needed technical support and got my problem of transferring my routes to a new email figured out in an hour. Second tho, this app allows me to explore my area and I have gotten my moneys worth many times over with how many times it’s gotten me to go outside climbing with me and my friends. Thanks for all y’all do

The best climbing guide book platform

I wish every climbing area was on gunks app. Easy to use. Simply designed. My favorite climbing app from my favorite climbing area. Get it!!

The best I’ve found

This app is an excellent source for finding climbs, areas, grades, etc. Since it’s on your phone, it’s super handy.

Digital is the Future

The future of guidebooks is this right here. The convience of having a guidebook for a vast amount of areas in the palm of my hand has brought much ease when on multipitch routes or when trying to navigate a new boulder field. The platform offers a wide variety of guide to local areas while also providing affordable guides to destinations in surrounding areas. I enjoy the frequent updates as well! Can't wait to see what areas are next to be added!!

Excellent app from the folks who wrote the guide book

This app is a game changer for Gunks accessibility. It has all the beta you need to navigate the area and pick climbs for your level of skill. The app is updated regularly with new areas being added all the time it seems. I rely heavily on this app for so many things. Be it my regular Gunks trips, my Powerlinez bouldering sessions, or ventures farther afield (looking at you, Hawaii boulders). This app sets a high standard for what a guidebook app should be.

Great App

Great functioning app with high quality guidebooks of all Northeast climbing and beyond.

Poor app navigation

The app it’s self is horrible to navigate through. The route descriptions are great if you can figure how to redownload them otherwise you spend your money and hope you don’t have to redownload the app.

Awesome platform that could do with some extra features

Amazing platform for buying/posting guidebooks on the cheap. Really cool that each purchase supports the coalitions that develop the crags. I love the app and wanted to suggest a feature! Having a feature to see/rate quality/grade of each climb would be super cool and would help normalize grades across regions/crags (in the style of board apps like Tension and Moon). This would also help for comparing climbs within the same crag (for areas that suffer from inconsistent grading due to the development history).

Best Guide app by far!

This is the best guide book app by far! Without a doubt essential and is my go to for any trip out!
