VL Update: Redesigned Map

We have released a new version of the Vertical-Life map! Our goal is to provide you with an improved user experience when searching for crags or gyms, and to set the foundation for more innovative features to come.

What's New?
  • Advanced Search Functionality: Easily search for cities, areas, and crags with a map-specific search.
  • Seasonality and grade graphs: From the list view, you can immediately see the seasonality and grade distribution of each crag in the viewboard, with your hardest redpoint in the last year and the current month marked to make it easier to read.
  • Better information about trails, mountains, etc: The new base layer has many approach trails and mountain names. There is a satellite layer as well.
  • Better UX: we refined how the map and list items respond
  • Your location and direction are shown on the map for easier navigation
If you find a crag that’s missing, you can go to its info page and add the coordinates there. It’ll appear on the map within 24h. If you know a local restaurant, gear shop or bar that should be on the map, send us an email to [email protected]. Thanks!

Happy climbing!
