Every climb is a puzzle.
Plan the beta move by move: which hand, which hold, which technique. Press Climb and a climber with real reach, balance and grip strength tries your whole sequence. When they fall, you find out exactly why.

How it plays
Plan it. Send it. Learn why.
Each climb is a small wall problem with a start, a top and a handful of holds. There's no timer and no reflex test. It's about reading the wall the way a climber does.
01
Plan the beta
Pick a hand or foot, tap the hold it goes to, and add a technique when the move needs one. Build the whole sequence before anyone leaves the ground.
02
Press Climb
A climber with human reach, balance and grip strength tries your beta, move by move. No luck and no dice: the same beta gives the same result every time.
03
Learn why you fell
The fall freezes on the failing frame and tells you what went wrong, in climber language. Retry from the last safe move, change one thing, go again.
Every move is checked for
ReachBody positionStabilityGripFoot supportStrength
Real technique
Moves real climbers use.
Techniques aren't power-ups. Each one changes how the body loads the wall, and the climber can only do what a real body could.
Heel hook
Pull with your heel, like a third hand, to stay on steep ground.
Drop knee
Turn the hip into the wall so you reach further on less strength.
Dyno
When it's out of reach, commit and jump for it.

Lessons
One idea per climb.
17 lessons take you from your first moves to the double dyno. Each one teaches a single idea on a climb built around it, like "Out of reach? Move your feet, not your arm."
- From the basics to steep wallsFootwork, reach and balance first, then flags, heel hooks, drop knees and dynos.
- One climber for everyoneEvery climb is set for the same average climber, so a climb plays the same for everyone.
Daily climbs
Three daily climbs.
Easy, medium and hard, the same for everyone on that date. Top one to keep your streak alive, then share your result without spoiling the beta.
- StreaksTop any daily to start one. Miss a day and it resets.
- Spoiler-free sharingShare how you did, never how you did it.
The gym
A wall that feels real.
Slabs, vertical walls and overhangs in a modern bouldering gym. Plywood panels and a T-nut grid, chalk tape on the start holds, an orange TOP tag on the finish, and every problem set in one hold colour.
- Slab to overhangThe steeper it gets, the more your feet and hips matter.
- Holds that readJugs, crimps, slopers and foot chips, each with its own shape.
