How to use CommitJerlah

CommitJerlah is a climbing accountability log: you post a climb with a target you set before you leave the ground, and it isn't marked done until someone who was actually there confirms it.

Workflow

Getting started

  1. Sign in with Google. That's the only way in — there's no separate password to create or remember. Your first sign-in creates your account automatically.
  2. Land on the feed. This is every climb everyone in the system has logged, newest first.
  3. Get oriented in the nav bar at the top of every page: Feed, Log climb, To verify (with a badge when something needs your verdict), and Profile, plus a theme toggle and log out on the right.
Concept

Warm up vs. project

Every climb you log declares an intent before anyone weighs in on how it went:

Warm up

Zero takes on rope, one attempt on a boulder. No room built in — you're saying you sent it clean, full stop.

Project

You declare the takes (rope) or attempts (boulder) you're allowing yourself up front, then log what actually happened.

The target field only unlocks for a project — pick warm up and it locks to the zero-take / one-attempt baseline automatically, so you can't quietly loosen your own standard after the fact.

Concept

The verification model

When you log a climb you can search for and tag another CommitJerlah user as your belayer (rope) or witness (boulder). Tagging is optional either way — but it changes how the climb gets decided:

Tagged

That person's verdict is the only one that counts. The moment they mark it verified or missed, the climb is locked. Everyone else can still comment, but their vote can't overrule the tag.

Untagged

Anyone who saw it can weigh in as a spectator. The climb flips to verified or missed once two spectators agree on the same verdict — a single opinion is never enough on its own.

Three rules hold everywhere:

  • You can never verify your own climb.
  • You get one verdict per climb — no changing your mind afterward.
  • Once a climb is verified or missed, further spectator votes are turned away — the record is locked either way.
Workflow

Logging a climb

Open Log climb from the nav bar. The form:

  1. Rope or boulder — choose the discipline first; it changes which fields show up next.
  2. Style (rope only) — top rope, lead, or auto belay.
  3. Gym or crag, and optionally the route's name.
  4. Grade and color — grade is free text, so use whatever scale your gym or crag uses (5.10a, V4, whatever's on the tape).
  5. Intent and target — warm up or project; the takes/ attempts field unlocks only for a project.
  6. Date climbed — defaults to today, but you can back-log a session.
  7. Belayer or witness — search by name or email and tag them, or leave it blank to fall back to spectator verification.
  8. Photo or video — optional; see Photo & video.
  9. Notes — anything worth remembering about the attempt.

Submit, and you land on the climb's own page — the one you'd share with whoever you tagged.

Reference

The feed

The feed lists every climb, newest first. Filter by discipline (All / Rope / Boulder) and by status (Any status / Pending / Verified / Missed) using the chips at the top. Each card shows the climber, gym and route, grade, the intent and target in plain language (e.g. "Project · ≤3 takes"), the current status, media if there is any, and the comment count. Load more at the bottom pages in the next batch.

Reference

Climb detail page

Click any card to open the full record:

  • Full details — gym, route, grade, color, style, intent and target, and the date climbed.
  • Photo or video, if one was attached.
  • The tagged belayer or witness, if there is one.
  • Every verdict submitted so far, with the voter's name, their role (belayer, witness, or spectator), their verdict, and any note they left.
  • A comment thread, open to anyone regardless of status.
  • Delete — visible only to the climber who logged it, and only while the climb is still pending. Once it's decided, it's a permanent record.
Workflow

Verifying a climb

If you're tagged

Climbs waiting on you show up under To verify in the nav bar, with a count badge so you never lose track. Open one, choose Target met or Target missed, add a note if you like, and submit — that decides it immediately.

If you're a spectator

Open the climb from the feed and the same two buttons are there for you, as long as you're not the climber, haven't already voted, and — if someone else was tagged — they haven't ruled on it yet. Your vote counts toward the two-spectator threshold described in the verification model above.

Reference

Comments

Comments are separate from verdicts — anyone can leave one on any climb, at any status, at any time. Use them for beta, encouragement, or just reactions; they never affect whether a climb counts as verified.

Reference

Profile & stats

Every climber has a profile — click their name or avatar from any card to see it. It shows their full climb history plus two stat tiles:

Warm ups

The share of decided warm-up climbs that came back verified.

Projects

The same figure for projects — met vs. missed, among the ones that have actually been decided.

A tile reads — until at least one of that category has been verified or marked missed — pending climbs don't skew the number either way.

Reference

Photo & video

Attaching media to a climb is optional. If you do:

TypeFormatsMax size
Photojpg, png, webp10 MB
Videomp4, mov100 MB

Your file uploads directly from your browser to storage — it never passes through the app's own server, so there's no extra wait beyond your own upload speed.

Notes

Tips & edge cases

  • Tag before you submit. There's no way to add a belayer or witness to a climb after it's logged — if you want one person's word to be final, tag them up front.
  • Deleting is a pending-only escape hatch. Once a climb has a verdict, it's part of the record and can't be removed.
  • No password recovery flow — sign-in is Google-only, so there's nothing to reset.
  • Grade is whatever you type. The app doesn't validate it against a scale, so stay consistent with your gym's system for stats that mean something over time.
