8a.nu Launch Announcement

Over the past several years we’ve been working hard on the complete redesign of 8a. In addition to the updated interface, we’ve spent an incredible amount of time migrating and improving the existing data to ensure the site maintains its legacy and as a platform is able to grow and continue to improve.

We’re so glad to finally share the newly transformed site and are eager for it to continue documenting historical moments in the climbing community for many years to come. With the new mobile-friendly interface, you can now stay up-to-date when you’re at the crag and on the move. Search, explore and filter with ease and enjoy the upgraded logbook which offers unique visualisation of your climbing data.

Please note the site will be temporarily down this evening for up to 24 hours while we complete the final migration. If you visit the site during the downtime you should be redirected to our holding page where you can check out a series of interactive charts and graphs documenting the history of climbing using 8a data.

If you have questions or issues with the new site, please reach out to our support desk or leave us some feedback. As always, we’re excited to continue improving the experience for all of you. Special thanks to all of our beta testers who provided great feedback for transforming 8a into what it is today!
