What goes in a session
- Grade. Boulders on the V-scale, from V0 to V17.
- Style. Tag the climb, for example crimp, overhang or slab.
- Result. The number of attempts, or a flash.
- Notes and photos. The beta you want to remember next time.
- Where. Tag the session to your gym from the gym directory.
Strength work goes in the same history. The training log has about 200 exercises with sets, reps and load.
Your history and your week
The Tracking screen opens on this week: which days you climbed, how many sessions and how many sends. Below it are your hardest send, total sends, total sessions and training days, followed by your recent sessions. History holds every session you have logged, and you can open any of them again.
See progress, not just a list
A log earns its keep when it shows you something. Chalkboard Pro adds full stats on top of your history: a grade pyramid of everything you have sent, weekly trends, personal bests, finger strength and campus power. The training page has the detail.
Sharing is your call
Sessions start private. Each session has a Share on my profile switch: turn it on and the session summary appears on your profile for other climbers, leave it off and only you can see it. The switch starts on only if you have chosen to share new sessions in Profile privacy in Settings, which also controls whether your location, home gym, stats and achievements are shown.
Sessions you choose to share also appear in the activity of the gym you tagged them to.
