I bought the app last night and honestly, $30 to have the guidebook in your pocket and not lug a backpack up a climb is well worth it. I'm going to check out the Otterbox case too - that story was very impressive, though I think I might just find a way to sling the phone to my harness.

I would really like to have some kind of tick list/notes on a climb functionality within the app. I don't use thecrag.com or anything, I just write all over my guidebook.

Good to hear Claire,

Ticklist / notes functionality is in the pipeline, but probably not in the immediate future. I'm looking at porting to Android at the moment. Once that's done, I'll look at adding ticklist / notes stuff to both.

Port to Android!

Course that'd mean I need even more battery power for those trips away ...

We're being asked what are the 9 new topos on the Arapiles iPhone App so climbers can check them out so here goes...

New topos include:
1) In The Colosseum Area - Comic Strip Wall Right.
2) King Rat Cliffs - Catcher Wall.
3) Fang Buttress Area - Alis Start Area.
4), 5) & 6) Grotto Wall & Voodoo Gully Area - Hot Coq Wall, Argyle Street Wall and Looking Glass Lower.
7) The Pharos - Ministry Wall.
8) Pharos Gully - Voidoid South Face.
9) Northern Group - Barbed Wall.

Some of these topos give an image for routes that are mentioned in the Selected Guide but don't have an image while some are for new routes.

Again, this update is free to download for anyone who's already purchased the app.

Food for fodder but I am not writing about cainine medical solutions.

Has anyone drawn and written guide pages from the guide book and found it more reinforcing than having the book with you?

Has anyone done the same for periferal routes to ensure the hand wrote description lives up to measure.

I have done the first, which really worked by reinforcing the mind, but never the later which I regret as I think may of helped.

Kind of like you, I have done the first, but only read the surrounding climb descriptions for possible crossover (if needed) options.

I have also deliberately left the guidebook to its own, and rocked up to the cliff to simply climb whatever my eye was drawn too!
