It all stays on your phone: no account, no server, no iCloud. One file, the widgets read it too, and Face ID can lock it.
Every gym keeps its own scale.

Questions
Where does my climbing data live?
On your iPhone, in one file. There's no account, no server and no iCloud copy. Settings has Export backup and Import backup, so moving to a new phone is one file.
Does it work at my gym?
Yes. Add any gym anywhere and pick how it grades: numbers, colour tags, V or French. Each gym keeps its own scale. It already knows Batuu, Bump, BHUB, Camp5 and TensionHouse in Malaysia.
Do I need an account?
No. Ascent opens straight to Today. The only thing we keep is what you leave on this page, for the launch email.
Are grades converted between gyms?
Never. Numbered gyms share a 1 to 15 spine with a soft or hard offset, colour tags stay colours, and V and French keep their own grades.
Is it iPhone only?
Yes. It's a native app for iOS 26, with widgets, a Live Activity for the session in progress, and an optional Face ID lock.
When can I install it?
There's no date yet. Everyone on the waitlist gets one email when it's ready, and that's the only email.
Be on the first wall.
Leave your email and we'll write when Ascent is ready to install. Nothing else goes to that address.
You're on the list.
We'll email when Ascent is ready.
