AR peak identification
Use the iPhone camera view to understand the peaks in front of you when location and sensor context are available.
Offline mountain app
An offline mountain app for peak context beyond cell service
Mountain trips often move through weak coverage. Epicrest lets you download peak packs before you go so the iPhone still has regional mountain context when the signal drops.
Field context
Epicrest tools for offline mountain app
Map-based discovery
Browse nearby summits, elevation, prominence, weather, and route context from the map before you commit to a plan.
Offline peak packs
Download regional peak data before a trip so useful context remains available when service is limited.
Private summit journal
Keep summit notes on device, with optional private iCloud sync. Epicrest does not use server-side photo storage for journals.
Download peak packs before coverage drops
Offline peak packs are built for pre-trip preparation. Download the region you expect to visit and Epicrest can keep showing saved peak context from that pack when the network is limited.
Understand what the offline pack includes
Packs focus on mountain data, available route context, and weather snapshots captured at download time. They do not guarantee current closures, hazards, or real-time conditions once you are offline.
Refresh context before the trip
Because mountain data and weather can change, refresh or re-download packs close to departure. Treat offline context as a planning aid alongside current maps, official advisories, and route-specific research.
