Climbing & Partners: Cactux

Cactux is the climbing app built in Mexico: community guidebooks, offline walking navigation to the boulder, and the partners to go climbing with. A redesigned interface, new brand colors and refreshed screens in light and dark mode go with you on every outing. YOUR CLIMBING DAY • Home — Plans, events, tickets, recent ascents, saved climbs and today's news in one place. • Profile and Compas — Your identity and climbing logbook, with a separate editor for partner photos, availability and visibility. Download a guidebook before you leave and use all of it at the crag with no signal. Walk to the block along the real approach trail, not a straight line. And if you have a Wear OS watch, wear it. AT THE CRAG • Offline navigation — Follow the approach trail to a boulder or a route. Works with no data and no coverage. • Wear OS watch — Send a sector to your wrist and move around the area without pulling out your phone. Navigate, mark points and record trails from the watch, with no signal. • Topos — Photos of the wall with the lines drawn on them, plus grades, quality and the beta. • Areas and sector maps — Boulders and routes colored by grade on one map, with sections, parking, trails and your own saved points. • Your own points — Save the car, the water, the shade, where there's signal. They stay on the map for next time. • Offline mode — Download whole areas and guidebooks, with photos, topos and map tiles. It all lives on your phone. CREATE AND CORRECT, OFFLINE TOO • Create sectors, routes, boulders, photos and topos at the crag with no signal. They upload themselves once you're back. • Suggest routes, boulders and trails on a guidebook that isn't yours — offline too. • Record trails by walking them, with the GPS in your phone or your watch, and say whether they are approach, between-climbs or descent trails. • Organize areas with mixed content and import climbs from a spreadsheet. GRADES THE WAY YOU READ THEM • Convert between V-scale, Font, YDS and French. Pick your system and the whole app follows it — without touching what the first ascensionist wrote. PARTNERS • Find climbers — A map of climbers near you, with their grades, goals and availability. • Sessions — Propose a quick outing, rock or gym, and get it confirmed. • Trips — Plan longer ones: invitations, join requests, shared expenses, gear lists, carpooling and the forecast for the destination. • Follow climbers and see what they're sending. • Messaging — One inbox, with replies, reactions, stickers and voice notes. ALSO • Log your ascents — offline too — rate quality and suggest a grade. • Community — Photos, videos and notes from climbers who've been there, per climb, sector or whole guidebook. • Events — Festivals, comps and meet-ups from the community, with tickets on your phone and in Google Wallet. • News and videos from the climbing world. • In English and Spanish. Develop routes or write guidebooks? Create and edit climbs, photos and topos from your phone, organize areas and import climbs from a spreadsheet.
