All of the grades contained in the guide can be customized to any of the most popular grading systems. For example, if you are visiting from Europe and are unfamiliar with the YDS (Yosemite Decimal System), you can customize the app so all of the grades will be shown in the rating system you have selected. This can be applied to both routes and boulder problems.

All of the routes have been given a rating of one to four stars. They have also been evaluated and rated with a new system that determines whether the route is better for people based on height as well as if it is more suitable for a dynamic climber or static climber. By creating a user profile, a list of routes that match users skill and preferences will be generated.

Users can log the routes they have sent as well as any climbing workouts. As more workouts and routes are logged, the suggested climbs are more customized to fit the users skill level.

The app also includes all of the useful features found in the Climbing Guide Lite app. See its screenshots for more information.
