Climb Meter: For rock climbing

Quick way to track your climbs during your session. Easy to start with complications for your watch.

This is a nifty little app that uses the Barometer in an Apple Watch to quantify the vertical distance climbed, and interfaces with the heart rate monitor on your Apple Watch to record heart rate. After you have topped out, it gives you a notification to add the climb rating. I have not tried it on multi pitch outdoor climbing, so I can’t comment on that. It does have a little bit of difficulty with single pitch outdoor climbing if the base of the crag is not flat, as it will occasionally record a small elevation change moving from one climb to the other, as a climb. It’s ideal application is in the climbing gym where it works very well.
