You asked. We listened.

First look: a topo that moves with you

Finally, interactive topos that give you pitch-by-pitch detail for the climb ahead.

  • Zoom into the exact line, pitch by pitch so you know the route before you rack up
  • Built with experienced climbers across the MP community
  • Top Southwest multi-pitch climbs to start
  • Pitch-specific photos and lines
*Interactive topos are free during early access and will become an optional/opt-in, paid Pro feature down the road. More info below.

See the whole climb before you leave the ground

In our latest field test, over 80% of testers said they'd use interactive topos on their next multi-pitch climb.

Pitch-by-pitch lines and descriptions

Get a clearer view of where each pitch leads. The line and the beta that matches it are right there in one place so you're never guessing where the route leads.

“I loved the individual pitch breakdown on the multi-pitch routes. That feels like a unique feature that is not part of other apps.”
Field tester, Red Rocks

Pitch by pitch lines and descriptions

Photos for every pitch

See the rock before you're on it. Each pitch carries its own photos, so you can visualize the line, moves, and belays from the ground.

“Being able to actually see each pitch instead of one zoomed-out overview photo is a game changer for route finding.”
Field tester, Yosemite

Pitch by pitch photos

The key route details together in one place

Tap the line, zoom in on the detail, and stop switching between photos, comments, and descriptions to know what to expect on each pitch.

“Biggest upgrade this would provide is accessing all the relevant info in one place, instead of switching between photos, comments, and route descriptions to piece a route together.”

Our Commitment

What's happening with Mountain Project?

The route database climbers have built, every route, photo, and piece of beta, will remain free.

Interactive topos are the first of a Pro tier of tools that will sit on top of that free foundation, and help to make your time outside more useful.

Mountain Project is owned and operated by onX. We're committed to maintaining it as it is: keeping the site running, the community moderated, and the apps improving. Offering valuable paid features on top of that free foundation is how we fund that commitment.

What we're exploring
  • Interactive topos
  • Climbing Map & Layers
  • Improved search and discovery
  • Smarter tracking and recommendations
  • A new and improved offline experience
Looking ahead

What Pro will help fund

Down the road, interactive topos will be part of a paid Pro tier. Once the Pro tier is live the money generated will work to support the following:

Climbing access

We'll give back to support the orgs working to protect access.

Better content

Better content for our users, reinvesting dollars back into the experience.

Better experience

Scale lets us staff a dedicated team to fix bugs and enhance the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is early access free?
Yes. Interactive topos are free for everyone during early access. They'll eventually be part of an optional paid Pro tier, but we'll tell you well before anything changes.
What happens to the free community content?
Nothing changes. The routes, beta, and photos climbers have built will remain free. Interactive topos sit on top of that content; they don't replace it or lock it away.
Will I have to pay later?
Eventually interactive topos will be part of an optional paid Pro tier. It adds tools; it never takes away what's already free, and you won't be charged unless you choose to pay for Pro.
Which areas are covered?
We've started with iconic routes across top Western areas like Yosemite, Red Rocks, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Zion, plus a scattering elsewhere. Coverage deepens area by area through early access.
Are these drawn topos or photo overlays?
Photo overlays. Each pitch pairs the real wall photo with the line and the detail, so what you see matches what you're standing under.
How do you choose who gets in first?
Area admins and top contributors get early access first. After that, it's open to anyone who signs up and wants to check it out.
How are Topo Authors compensated?
We're still early in building out the Topo Author program. So far we've been recruiting qualified climbers in select regions to create original, photo-based topos that meet our quality standards. Right now, authors are compensated through a pay-per-topo model. We're also exploring ways to support authors who stick with the program over time.
Does this mean you're done improving the core Mountain Project experience?
Not at all. We're actively investing in the free site and apps: keeping them running, moderated, and faster, and building new features to improve the core experience.
