Description

rakkup allows you to access an entire bookshelf of climbing and backcountry skiing guidebooks on your iPhone, even beyond the reach of cell phone coverage. Once downloaded, guidebooks work offline with no Internet connection! It is also the first and only mobile climbing app that navigates you through the trail system to your climb, turn by turn. Produced in partnership with Outdoor Research, rakkup reinvents the guidebook for the smartphone era.
We've partnered with Beacon Guidebooks, Wolverine Publishing ,and other publishers to bring you rich guidebooks complete with color photos and topo drawings. Free sample climbs and ski descents are included.
Browse climbs and descents on a map or in the list format of your choice, filter and search in seconds, then navigate using your phone's GPS with a single tap. In climbing guidebooks, the app continuously calculates the easiest route through the trail system from your current location. Simply follow the arrow and moving map.
Note: When actively navigating to a climb, rakkup uses GPS in background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Difficult to use, incomplete

Bartach on

United States

Navigating this app is rather frustrating experience. I’ve tried to make it work, tried to like it. It just never gets better. We all know that any guidebook is outdated the minute after it’s published but some of the guides for sell here are grossly incomplete. Let’s talk about Red Rocks. Neither Armatron nor Birdland are listed, how is this possible? Crimson Chrysalis, Olive Oil, and Dark Shadows are listed but not one of these includes any photos or Topo and of the three, only Dark Shadows provides any description of the pitches. Crimson Chrysalis and Olive Oil just list the pitch numbers along with their grade. Seriously? That’s all? Who would pay money for this?

App is corrupted or something

Clicking on Certain routes (sun kissed) causes the app to crash. When you reset the app and try to go to the same route again, same thing—it crashes. I’m not going to try anymore. And given that I am the first ascent author this route, it doesn’t affect me, but I pity anyone who is trying to use this app when it crashes.

Great app when it works.

When this app works it is 5/5. Having all of the I formation for routes and interactive maps is amazing. The filtering within the guidebook makes it super easy to find what I need. Easier and better than any guidebook I’ve used. (Years of climbing and back country experience) At least 50% of the time it doesn’t work. I open the app to a frozen screen and have to delete the app, redownload the app, log back in, redownload my guidebooks. This makes it unreliable and unusable in backcountry situations. Still works for planning but it will never be a true guidebook replacement unless it can work reliably.

Honestly, pretty great for researching

My primary use for this app is research, not for navigating. And I typically cross reference what I'm looking at. This app provides access to an incredible wealth of beta, that is curated by specific authors. This app is a platform that works to standardize and distribute guide books in a relatively immersive format. These books are written by different authors and may contain more or less info, but they all at a minimum contain filterable stacks of lines and route accompanied by surprisingly high quality images. The ipadOS version is particularly nice, as it makes full use of the screen size. Would highly recommend adding this app (and some of the guide books!) to your backcountry kit for finding new lines to explroe.

A Step up in Digital Guidebooks

The app is user friendly and includes and ever-increasing amount of beloved climbing areas. It’s also a great way to find out about smaller climbing areas that don’t quite warrant a print guidebook yet.

Not a fan

B3thk on

United States

Bought a paperback copy which said to download this app to access the digital book.. and it wants me to pay a second time. There should be an access code if you have bought the actual book.

Great for winter backcountry, mostly

Jon Fairchild on

United States

Indispensable source of maps, backcountry ski and safety info, and GPS location (for Cameron Pass in Colorado anyway). However, a bug sometimes makes it difficult to find your way and safely return to your car. It seems to happen if you haven’t used the app for a while, then start using it when already out of internet connectivity. Base maps and, more importantly, trail lines do not appear - only the trail symbols are visible. The problem resolves itself when you have connectivity again. So if you are relying on this app for navigation, make sure to “warm it up” while you still have Internet the day you head out there.

Garbage app

Mahyar mahyar on

United States

I’ve paid for a book twice over the years. Keeps crashing and logging me out and every season I have to figure out how to get my book back again.

Interactive guidebook in the field

Backcountry Dude on

United States

I use the guides regularly in the backcountry and for trip planning. No trouble with freezing in the latest version.

Unusable

Cvantez on

United States

I would like to have bought a guidebook, but I couldn’t. Wasn’t even planning on using Paypal, but it wouldn’t let me purchase until I gave PayPal a 2-factor confirmation… which was sent to a number that isn’t mine.
