(Optional Feature) Gym-Set Climbs

info

This feature is not enabled by default. To enable it, please contact Crux at nat@cruxapp.ca.

Crux offers an optional feature for gyms to manage official gym-set climbs.

This allows gyms to:

  • Keep track of set climbs.
  • Let climbers browse official climbs, mark sends, and track progress.
  • Boost climber engagement and motivation.

How It Worksโ€‹

When gym-set climbs are enabled, your gymโ€™s climb directory will have two tabs:

  • Custom Climbs โ€“ Climbs set by your community.
  • Official Climbs โ€“ Climbs set by gym staff. These are "official" climbs that follow one color of holds and may be graded.

Setting Official Climbsโ€‹

  • Only gym staff can set official climbs.
  • To set official climbs,
    1. Open the Official Climbs tab.
    2. Tap the "..." button on the top right.
    3. Tap the "New set" button.
    4. Follow the instructions to set new climbs.

New-Set Notificationsโ€‹

Each time you post a new set in Crux, climbers will automatically receive a push notification.

This allows climbers to:

  • See whatโ€™s new before arriving at the gym.
  • Plan their session in advance.
  • Get excited to try fresh climbs!

New-set notifications will go out within an hour of you posting a new set.


Annotating Climb Imagesโ€‹

For custom climbs, climbers highlight each hold in the image editor.

For official gym-set climbs, annotation is optional since:

  • Climbs follow a single color.
  • You can specify the hold color instead of marking holds manually.

Climbers can filter official climbs by:

  • Gym area
  • Difficulty
  • Hold color

Gym Analyticsโ€‹

Enabling official climbs gives your gym access to detailed analytics about climber activity and set performance.

Insights Include:โ€‹

  • Which climbs are popular or underused.
  • Which climbs may be misgraded based on user feedback.
  • How new sets compare to past sets.

The analytics dashboard provides a range of graphs and insights to help gyms optimize their setting.

Tracking Climb Performanceโ€‹

The Climbs Tab shows a list of all climbs set at your gym.

You can:

  • Sort and filter climbs by popularity or activity.
  • Identify climbs that may be misgraded.
