About Gunks
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.

Guidebooks are cool but have you ever used GunksApp?🤯
What page was that route on? What was it called? Swamy, Swanson, Simon ….SAMSONITE! I was way off. The app is a better reason to carry a phone to the crag than that’s obligatory topout selfie or ubiquitous belay stance picture of the leaders behind. Detailed topos overlaying real world photographs of the cliffs. Certain locations allow realtime navigation to the route. Logging, ticking, rating. It’s all there, and then some. There really isn’t a reason NOT to have the app for your chosen location.

The best digital guidebooks!
The only thing better than their thorough digital guidebooks is their amazing customer service and their commitment to climbing! They use local authors, donate proceeds to climbing organizations, and will never be an ad-based or subscription model. Most of the digital world is pretty terrible but GunksApps is always good. Viva la GunksApps!
