The Gipfelbuch, without the pencil on a string. Sign where you stand, read who was there before you.
Coming soon, free, for iPhone and Android. Your location is only read when you sign.
On most summits there is a book in a metal box. You write your name, the date, a line about the weather or your knees, and read who was up before you.
Summitry is that book. One register per peak, pass and hut, kept for everyone who signs it. No pencil, no wet pages, no box that someone carried down.
Every entry carries a tier, shown wherever it appears. The book tells the difference between a summit you signed and one you remember.
You were on the summit. The phone checks its position within 50 m and writes the time. Public by default, in the register for everyone.
A GPS track from Strava or a GPX file, matched to the summits it crossed. Your whole history, reviewed once. Private until you say otherwise.
Your word. A summit from before the app, or a day the phone stayed in the pack. Counts in your own book, nowhere else.
No signal on top? The signature waits in the phone and lands in the register when you are back down.
A list, a map, or a page per year. Notes, photos and the people you were with, kept in the order you climbed them.
Maps drawn like paper. Signed summits in ochre, tracked ones in glacier, the rest still to come.
Summits per year, metres climbed, the highest, the one you keep going back to. Lists fill in as you sign, and a list you are chasing shows on the map as the summits still to come.
From the national surveys and OpenStreetMap, across the whole of the Alps. A summit that is missing can be proposed from the app.
The 4000ers, the highpoint of every canton and region, hut lists, the hills behind your town. Progress fills in as you sign. Your own lists too.
The app in four languages, and summit names in the language of their valley. Data stays in Europe.
