Climbing is a sport that requires perseverance and motivation to meet desired goals. Rock Climbers can connect via traditional social media platforms. However, these platforms lack the sense of community that could inspire climbers to push themselves to that next level. Climbers who lack a sense of community within their gyms could easily become frustrated during plateaus. This frustration may force climbers to visit gyms less frequently or quit the sport altogether.
Problem
Solution
Krimp is an online platform that inspires climbers to push their limits by comparing and contrasting their climbing experiences with those of others. Many people struggle with meeting people in real life. A tool like Krimp could easily connect climbers, resulting in a motivating sense of community. Additionally, users of such a platform could gain inspiration from fellow climbers around the world.
