About Craggo

A climbing tool built by a climber

Craggo started as a hobby project — a single place to keep track of what I had climbed. Not a topo or a guidebook, just a log that remembers.

Over time it grew into a social tool too: planning climbing days with friends, seeing what people climb, and sharing photos from the trips.

Ironically, there hasn't been much time for actual climbing this spring.

Community-driven database

Anyone can add crags and routes. I review submissions quickly to keep quality high, but the barrier to contribute should stay low.

If you see something wrong — a grade, coordinates, or a name — report it and it'll be fixed.

Part of the motivation behind the project is to explore how far a climbing app can go on a fully community-driven dataset, ideally combined with agentic AI helping keep the data tidy.

Free for as long as it works

No ads. No premium subscription. The goal is to keep Craggo free as long as running costs allow.

Norway first, but everyone is welcome

The Oslo area comes first, and I keep adding new crags. Other regions grow as climbers contribute themselves.

The app is available in Norwegian and English, and supports the Scandinavian, French, YDS, and UIAA grade systems.

Behind the app

Craggo is built and run by Morten Brandanger.
