Summit journal app

A private summit journal for the peaks you actually climb

Epicrest keeps your mountain record close to the places that created it. Log summits, attach notes to peak context, and keep your journal private instead of turning every trip into a public post.

Field context

Epicrest tools for summit journal app

AR peak identification

Use the iPhone camera view to understand the peaks in front of you when location and sensor context are available.

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.

Record summits as a private field log

A summit entry can capture the peak, date, route context, and notes that matter to you. The journal is designed for memory and progress, not for public ranking or social pressure.

Connect each entry to mountain context

Because Epicrest also handles AR peak identification and map discovery, a log can sit beside the same peak data you used while researching or recognizing the summit.

Keep photos off the backend

Journal photos live on your device and can sync through your private iCloud if you enable it. Epicrest does not use backend photo storage for private summit journals.
