HOW IT WORKS

Log your climbs fast

Tap grade, wall angle, effort, style, and attempts

Done in seconds.

Your Climb Readiness Score (CRS) updates automatically based on recovery time, training load trends, cumulative fatigue, and volume patterns.

Your Load Ratio tracks acute vs. chronic workload, the same metric elite coaches use to predict overtraining and injury risk.

Overtraining warnings alert you when your body needs rest, before you get hurt.

WHY POGO EXISTS

44% of indoor climbers experience overuse injuries

Most have no system for managing training load, often relying on how they feel, climb too hard too often, and end up injured

POGO fixes that.

POGO doesn't tell you what to climb

It tells you how much your body can handle today, with data-backed guidelines to help you find the right dose for steady progression

POGO helps climbers reduce their risk of overtraining so they can climb more and continue progressing in the sport they love.

——

THE SCIENCE

POGO uses a proprietary load calculation algorithm to measure the demand of every climb, every session, and your full training history

Your Readiness Score is powered by real math, not AI

It's built on the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) framework used in professional sports, calibrates to your personal climbing history over your first 10 sessions, and delivers increasingly accurate guidance for progression without overtraining.

——

FREE FOREVER

POGO's core functionality is and always will be free for every climber

No paywalls

No ads

Just a tool that helps you climb more and get hurt less.
