Boolder app for Fontainebleau

Just a heads up. There is a new app called Boolder for font, that is awesome. All the main areas mapped down to individual boulders. With gps so you don’t get lost. Links directly to bleau.info. And it’s free. Check it out!

Sounds like someone ripping off Bart van Raaj's work.

Sounds like they did it off their own backs. https://www.boolder.com/en/about But I guess you aren’t going to say you ripped someone off.  :shrug:

They do directly thank and link to bleau.info (and other sites). And it is all open source so they aren’t making any money off it. I was recommended it by a font local.  :shrug:

I used this twice this year. Once for a week-long trip, and for a day a few weeks ago. It is an absolute game changer. Makes zipping round circuits super easy and finding starts an absolute doddle. Couldn't recommend it more.

Trying it now. Don’t know about the IP side of things but functionally the best climbing app. I’ve ever used and an advance on paper IMO. The shape of bouldering guides to come?

This thing is absolutely amazing. Light years ahead of any other app based guide book I’ve used.

Apparently bleau.info have their own app coming out but it’ll struggle to be an improvement on this.
