The platform for modern climbing gyms
The whole gym in your pocket — for climbers and for you who run it.
Balvanko gives your climbers logging, progress and a community they open every session — and gives you a clear view of every boulder and route: what’s getting climbed, what’s going stale, and when to reset, all from one dashboard.

From the climbing experience your members love to the back-office tools that keep the gym running — Balvanko brings it together, alongside your membership, billing and access systems.

Engage your climbers
An app your members open every session
Logging a climb should feel like a reward, not a chore. Balvanko turns every visit into progress your climbers can see — which is exactly what keeps them coming back.
Levels · Tiers · Streaks
A weekly habit, built in
Levels, tiers and weekly streaks turn casual visits into a routine. The home screen greets each climber with their rank, weekly stats and active projects — a reason to log in before they even reach the wall.
- Earn points and climb tiers across boulders, routes and spraywall
- Weekly streaks reward consistent, repeat visits
- Personal stats and live projects front and center
Progression
Progress they can actually see
Skill-progression charts, grade distribution, meters climbed and an activity calendar — for each gym you climb in — give every climber a clear picture of how far they’ve come and what to chase next.
- Skill-progression chart over time, per discipline
- Grade distribution and total meters climbed
- Activity timeline that makes consistency visible
Leaderboards · Competitions
Competitions that fill the gym
From serious, fully scored events to a casual weekend ladder — run any competition in your gym’s formats with real-time scoring and category filters. Cast live results to the big screen for the whole hall to follow — one toolset for the marquee event and the friendly in-house rivalry alike.
- Live results with categories and group filters
- Built-in scoring for serious and casual formats
- Official events or quick in-house ladders — same tools
Community
A feed that keeps them talking
An activity feed, comments, reactions and beta videos turn solo sessions into a shared experience. Climbers follow each other, swap beta and celebrate sends — right inside your gym's app.
- Activity feed with comments and reactions
- Beta videos attached to climbs
- Follow climbers and celebrate every send

Spraywalls
6 problem subtypes
Each gym shows only the disciplines it offers — turn the rest off.
Spraywall
Create, share, challenge
At Balvanko the spraywall isn’t a side feature — it’s climber-powered: they set their own problems, share them and challenge friends, so fresh lines never run out.
Six problem subtypes
- Feet follow hands
- Feet on all
- Feet on footholds
- Route
- Campusing
- Enumerated
Every problem has its creator, subtype and a full send history — share it with the gym and race up the leaderboard.
Run your gym
Less admin, more climbing
Balvanko isn't only for your members. The same platform gives your team the tools to plan setting, track work and understand the gym at a glance.
Routesetting analytics
Plan setting with real data
A reset calendar and routesetting overview show what was set, by whom and when. Plan resets ahead, track planned versus executed, and keep your wall fresh on schedule.
- Reset calendar with planned and executed states
- Per-setter and gym-wide routesetting views
- Keep every sector on a healthy reset cadence
Gym overview
You can't be at the wall all day. Balvanko can.
Boulders by grade, active climbs per sector, leaderboards and member stats — the numbers you need to balance grades and understand how your gym is being used.
- Grade distribution and active climbs per sector
- Gym leaderboards and member activity
- Spot grade gaps before your members do
Work tracking
Fully configurable work tracking, payroll without the spreadsheets
Define your own work categories and subcategories, and set rates per worker or per category — then let staff log straight in the app. Balvanko turns every shift into clean, transparent records — and the analytics to back them.
Your categories and subcategories
Set up work exactly how your gym runs
There’s no fixed template. Create the categories you actually use — routesetting, coaching, cleaning, reception, maintenance — billed hourly or at a fixed amount. Add subgroups like routesetting skill levels or coaching groups by age, each with its own rate.
- Unlimited custom categories — hourly or fixed-amount
- Per-subgroup rates — e.g. apprentice €10 → head setter €18, coaching by group
- Time-tracking on or off, per category
Rates you fully control, per person
Set any rate, for any person
Give every employee their own hourly rate — change it whenever you like — then view their work profile and totals at any time. Amounts recalculate automatically, so payroll is just a read of the numbers, with the rates set exactly how you want them.
- Any rate you choose, per employee — change it anytime
- Per-person work profiles and monthly totals
- Amounts recalculate automatically from hours × rate
Everything your team needs, in one place
From the first logged hour to the month-end report — logging, overview and analytics live together.
Logging & overview
Staff log work against a calendar; every entry lists the date, category, type, hours and amount in a clear table they can review any time.
Statistics & analytics
Filter by month, worker or category and read totals at a glance — total amount, entry count and a per-day breakdown of spend across the gym.
Every entry tied to who did it
Every job is logged to whoever did it — from coaching to cleaning. On wall resets you quickly see who most often needs a stand-in and who jumps in to help, and billing always matches the work actually done.
Clear for everyone
Staff see their own hours and earnings, managers see the whole gym — no manual math, no month-end surprises.
Make it yours
Your gym's colors, instantly
Balvanko adapts to your brand. Pick a palette below and watch a sample of the app recolor live — this is exactly how reskinning works for your gym.
Try a palette
Or pick any two colors — the whole app theme follows your primary and secondary.
Three real gyms — three identities, one app
Gym maps
Your gym’s floor plan, per discipline
Upload or draw your own map — separately for boulders, routes and the spraywall — and climbers see, with one tap, exactly where each problem is on the wall.
Nice extras
Small things that make the difference
Monochrome photos
A built-in tool turns a wall photo into one of these in a few clicks — pick the problem’s colour and everything else fades to grayscale. The line jumps out, and the photo is ready to share.
QR codes
Generate a QR code for any boulder or route, print it and stick it by the wall — climbers scan to open the problem straight in the app.
For climbers
Your members will love it too
Behind the gym dashboard is an app climbers genuinely enjoy — logging, progression, beta videos, levels and a community feed. Happy members log more, visit more and stay longer.
