Climbing App for your iPhone!


If you're the type of climber that likes to keep track of every single detail of your climbs, your work-outs and your daily climb related fitness endeavors, we just found the perfect iPhone application for you.

While none of us have actually tested the app, called SprayCaster, it does look like it might offer a few promising features. According to the article I read:

"The way the app works is that you can log each route you climb, indicating whether it was done on lead or not as well as if you onsighted/flashed or simply redpointed. Based on the criteria entered for each route, a score is assigned to indicate the overall effort associated with whatever it is that you did...Once you save the climbs, you can go back and view the log for an individual day in your history. The basic premise is that you should be able to easily compare your training days based on the score the app has assigned to each day."

Interested? Check it out and report back to us if you like it or hate it. Use something else? We're all ears...sound off and let us know.
