Find a climbing partner: bouldering is better together

Technically you can boulder alone – but together it's twice the fun: sharing beta, pushing each other, working projects as a team. Train-With.me shows you when your friends are at the gym.

Why climbing with others gets you further

On the wall you're alone – but in front of it you're not. Climbing together means reading routes faster (“try the heel hook on the right”), daring harder problems and staying motivated longer. And honestly: you skip far fewer sessions when a friend is already at the gym.

The problem: you rarely know who's going when. That's exactly what Train-With.me makes visible.

How to find climbing partners with Train-With.me

1. Connect your climbing friends

Add friends and gym acquaintances via their username – from beginners to project crushers.

2. Announce your session

“At the gym from 6 pm” – all your friends get the notification. Works spontaneously too: share the activity while you're already on your way.

3. Climb together

Whoever has time joins. The feed also shows who's already been today or is going later – perfect for tagging along.

Tip: in bouldering, grades don't matter – everyone climbs their own problems, but you motivate each other. So add friends who climb harder or easier than you, too.

Rope climbing too

For rope climbing a partner isn't optional – no belayer, no climbing. Announce your session in the app and find out who's free before you're standing at the gym. Set it up as a custom sport to keep bouldering and rope climbing separate in your stats.

Frequently asked questions

Do I even need a partner for bouldering?

Not strictly – there's no belaying in bouldering. But it's more fun together, you get beta for hard problems, and you demonstrably go more often when friends join.

How do I find people who go to my climbing gym?

Talk to people at the gym – the bouldering community is open, and working on problems together connects you quickly. Then add each other on Train-With.me and from now on you'll see when the other is at the gym.

Does my climbing partner need to climb at my level?

No. Unlike tennis or soccer, in bouldering everyone climbs their own problems. Different levels are actually an advantage – stronger climbers share beta, and you celebrate every top together.
