## Ibex – Smart Climbing Tracker
Ibex turns your phone into a smart climbing tracker. Keep your focus on the climb while it monitors your progress, alerts you to rope's end, and captures every pitch, rappel, and rest.
Real-Time Intelligence
Stay hands-free—Ibex speaks your stats through earbuds or your phone:
• Current pitch distance and rope remaining
• Total distance, pitches, and time climbing and rappelling
• Remaining distance and pitches to summit
• Rope-end warning alerts before you run out of rope*
• Calories burned and average climbing speed
Smart Tracking
Let Ibex do the heavy lifting:
• Automatically detects climbing, rappelling, and resting
• Track approach hikes with effort levels, distance, and speed
• Optimized modes for single- and multi-pitch routes
• Bluetooth button support for hands-free operation
• Detailed activity logs with interactive charts
• Sun & Moon: daylight remaining, time to sunset, and moon illumination
• Link photos and videos directly to your climbs
• Replay and analyze your past climbs
Planning, Hydration & Heat
Plan your session before you go, review it after:
• Plan Session: estimate total session time, plus water and electrolytes
• Heat-risk readout from temperature, humidity, sun, cloud, and wind
• Interactive carry-vs-deficit slider with safe/caution/danger zones
• DIY electrolyte recipe
• Personalized by a quick post-trip sweat-rate weigh-in
• Heat-stress warning at the start of hot sessions
Fitness & Performance Insights
The effort behind the send (heart rate monitor or Health Connect):
• Heart rate tracking via BLE chest straps and standard monitors
• Cardio Report: heart rate zones, training load, and recovery per session
• Speed Report: climbing speed by grade, discipline, and style
• Import heart rate from Health Connect (Garmin, Fitbit, Polar, and more)
• Export climbing sessions to Health Connect and Strava
• See heart rate overlaid on your elevation, pitch, and time charts
• More accurate calories from your actual heart rate
Cloud-Connected & Social
Access your data everywhere:
• Optional cloud sync across all your devices
• Sign in with Google or email
• Upload directly to Strava and your calendar
• Share sessions, or create embeddable links to post them online
• Privacy controls to keep routes private
Precision Elevation Tracking
Built for climbing:
• High-resolution barometric elevation tracking
• Smart smoothing to reduce noise
• Multiple drift-compensation methods (optional RuuviTag)
• GPS used only where it helps—not for elevation
• View your track in map software or Google Earth
Post-Climb Refinement & Route Labeling (Open Beta)
Perfect and label your sessions after the send:
• Look up known routes during post-climb editing (OpenBeta and Ibex's growing database)
• Add route names, grades, pitch counts and notes to your session
• Edit recordings: trim, modify rests, merge or split pitches
Built for Climbers
• Imperial and metric units
• Light and dark themes, with auto-switch after dark
• 100% free with no ads
• Works on Android 8.0 and newer
System Requirements
Ibex needs your phone's barometric pressure sensor to calculate elevation. Without it you can still load and replay community sessions, but can't record your own.
Optional: Bluetooth buttons (such as Flic), BLE heart rate monitors, Health Connect wearables, and external pressure sensors (such as RuuviTag) for drift compensation.
Accuracy
Barometric pressure tracks elevation but drifts with weather; Ibex minimizes this through filtering, calibration, and optional external pressure references. GPS is drift-free but accurate only to ±15 m (45 ft) vertically, so it isn't used for elevation. Pressure measures vertical gain, not distance, so Ibex estimates distance from an adjustable angle, with a built-in tool to set it.
*Never rely on any app to keep you safe. Always be aware of your situation while climbing.*
