The Whipper is the world's first and only climbing performance and fitness tracker, that helps you improve your technique and endurance -- using a sleek clip-on device and accompanying Smartphone App.

CLIP & CLIMB

Clip-on the Whipper smart tracker with state of the art motion sensor technology and forget it. The tracker will start working right away by collecting data while you focus on your climbing.

Check your data when you are ready. The device works in real time OR you can log all of your climbs and sync your data after a 3 day Yosemite trip.

The Whipper works indoors and out, so you can use it while at the gym training. You get real time stats such as how long it took you to complete that V5 problem and how many attempts you made.

You can use the Whipper on a multi pitch outdoor climb, simply clip it on and climb. When the day is over you can sync all of your climbing data and check out your stats. For example, you can see a breakdown of how many feet you covered in each pitch on a big wall climb (Pitch 1: 135FT, Pitch 2: 142FT... Pitch 15: 153 FT).

CLIMB & TRACK

While you climb, our tracker is recording your every move.

The Whipper is a smart device that tracks what you climb, where you climb, and how you climb.

Unlike clunky bracelets and watches, the Whipper is clipped at your waist. It is placed near your center of mass resulting in highly accurate measurements.

Automatically calculated metrics such as feet, incline, pace, time and effort are stored in memory on the Whipper device on a per climb and per session basis.

The climbing info is automatically synced to your Smartphone, where it is stored permanently.

The App can record additional information such as the location of your climb using your phone GPS. This information is used to further improve your climbing stats and the accuracy of our climbing algorithms.

While most Whipper features are automatic, you can also opt to manually enter information, such as route name and difficulty level. 

Working on a project indoors? Distinguish discrete climbs within your session overview, compare project attempts, and see how you've progressed! You can record the location of your climb using your phone's GPS. E.g.:

Based on all this information the Whipper quickly learns your climbing style and ability.  In this case, the Whipper would recommend that you challenge yourself with a higher grade of slab, now that you've crushed "Piper's Dream".

Get outside, and leave your phone in your pack. After an awesome big wall adventure, check out your expedition summary:

Then you can even check out a session breakdown by pitch!

In this instance, the Whipper quickly learns that you fell twice on the crack pitches. Not only does it recognize this, but it will also recommend antagonist and flexibility exercises for rest days, to help keep you strong and limber.

TRACK & IMPROVE

Our proprietary algorithms detect climbing moves and track stats about your performance so you can improve your climbing technique and endurance.

The Whipper App gives feedback on your skills, technique, and movement so you can track your progress over each session.

• Invite friends to go climbing tomorrow.
