ABOUT Index

This digital Index climbing guidebook gives you GPS navigation, verified topos, and beta for hundreds of climbs. Explore classics and hidden gems with offline access to maps, directions, and beta videos. Whether it's your first visit or fiftieth, KAYA makes your Index days smoother, safer, and more dialed.

The tiny mountain town of Index needs no introduction for Washington climbers as it's home to arguably the highest quality granite in the state (if not the world!). Climbers have cut their teeth for decades here on the notoriously sandbagged routes of the Upper and Lower Town Walls. Besides the legendary rope climbing, Index is home to numerous small bouldering clusters with equally high quality problems across a wide array of grades.
