Your tier (1–5) is calculated from your experience, gear owned, exposure comfort, pace, and summits bagged. It determines which group hikes you can join if a leader sets a tier requirement.
Check off the 14ers you've summited. This updates your tier score and appears on the leaderboard.

If you hiked without the app's GPS tracking, you can manually log it from the web. Go to Profile → Log a Hike, or visit the Log a Hike page directly.

Once approved for a hike, you can chat with your group directly on the event page. Messages appear in real-time. You can delete your own messages by hovering and clicking ✕. Admins can delete any message.
Each event page includes a gas cost calculator. It uses your current location to estimate round-trip driving cost based on your MPG and current gas prices. You can split the cost with carpoolers.
After a hike is complete, approved participants can submit trip reports with photos directly on the event page. Reports include summit status, difficulty rating, trail conditions, snow/ice presence, and notes. Leaders and admins can also upload GPX routes and event photos from the leader controls section.
Tap "Complete Hike" to mark it done. Participants can then submit trip reports with photos. The leaderboard updates automatically.
