Highpoint — a training board with holds in a climbing gym

A logbook for gym boulders.

For regular indoor boulderers, on iOS 26. Boulderers log between goes with chalk on their hands, and a tick list says nothing about progress on a project. Highpoint draws every problem as a chart of its holds and records the highest move reached.

Every problem drawn as a chart of its holds.

Holds are stars, moves are lines. Bigger holds are bigger stars; the line stops where your best go stopped.

Your highpoint glows. Move 7 of 9 after 11 goes; when you send, the whole chart lights up.

Made for chalky hands. The counter sits in the thumb zone and a send is confirmed by holding.

A wall drawn as a night sky.

Technor, set light, for grades and large numbers, with Satoshi for the rest; the chart lights up when you send. iOS 26. A clickable prototype in HTML; the film above is recorded from it.

The gym data is a sample.
