After climbing Rainier, Elbert, and several other highpoints, I started working on this
My wife and I moved to Colorado from Washington a couple years ago and got really into long-term mountain goals after spending years hiking around the Cascades and Olympics. Since then we’ve climbed Rainier, worked through 20 Colorado 14ers so far, and started getting interested in things like state highpoints and other bigger objectives.
Along the way, I kept wishing there was something built more around tracking long-term goals instead of just individual hikes or activities, so over the past year or so I started working on something called Yak.
It lets you track things like state highpoints, 14ers, Seven Summits, and other mountain goals, along with route beta, mountain weather, avalanche forecasts, and planning info. It’s all free and currently just on iPhone.
A lot of the inspiration came from spending time in communities like this one and piecing together info from different resources while planning climbs.
Curious what tools or features people here would actually want in something like this.
