Vertical-Life Updates

The biggest update in todayโ€™s release is the new dark mode. It was your number one feature request after the Vertical-Life release, and so we are happy to get it out today! The default setting is your deviceโ€™s system setting, and you can change it to always light or always dark in the hamburger menu on the top right. If you notice anything, especially low contrast copy or buttons in the dark mode, please let us know at [email protected].

Besides the dark mode, weโ€™ve recently made the following changes and improvements:
  • The moderator system got a fresh look and some improvements/fixes (sign up here if you want to help with cleaning the database!).
  • โ€˜Dickes Bโ€™, the Geoquest guidebook by Gerald Krug that covers all climbing in and around Berlin is now available in the app. Check it out here.
  • North Wales Limestone by Andy Boorman and Ian Carr is also live in the app in its entirety!
  • Aris Theodoropoulos and Katie Rousso provided updates for several crags in Kalymnos and Leonidio.
  • Bohemian Switzerland is the latest addition to our premium destinations, and the new Panico Guidebook by Helmut Schulze is available to subscribers now.

We fixed lots of mostly small bugs that were reported since the last release. Thanks to everyone who reached out.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
