Plan and track

Use this crag page as the start of your climbing history

TENAR is not only a public crag preview. Inside the app, Joshua Tree can become projects, attempts, sends, notes, training context, and coaching prompts.

Before
Check the crag shape

Review sectors, grades, featured climbs, photos, and field-guide notes where they are published.

During
Keep attempts close

Save projects and log attempts while the beta, conditions, and effort are still fresh.

After
Learn from the session

Connect sends and falls with training history so the next plan is easier to make.
