WHAT IT IS

Boulder Blitz runs your training-board sessions for you: it keeps the clock, tells you which climb to try, and keeps score — round after round — so you can stay on the wall instead of checking a phone.

It runs Solo Mode — a structured interval timer for training alone, climb time and rest time on repeat — and Duel Mode, a head-to-head game where two climbers alternate attempts on the same randomly-picked problem. Boulder Blitz also picks the climb for you and lights it up on the board automatically over Bluetooth.

Initial target board: Tension Board.

HOW IT WORKS
01
Set your session
Pick a game mode — Rapid, Blitz, or Bullet, each a fixed climb/rest pairing — plus grade, wall angle, rounds, and climbs per round. Go solo, or switch to 2-player Duel and add names.
02
Get ready
A short countdown before the clock starts, so you have time to prop your phone up and chalk up.
03
Climb
A full-screen timer runs the round. In Duel Mode, players alternate turns on the same climb, one at a time.
04
Rest & score
While you recover, log how many attempts you sent on that round.
05
Repeat
Climb, rest, score — for as many rounds as you set.
06
Summary
A weighted score (sends × grade × pace), a full round-by-round breakdown, and — in Duel Mode — a head-to-head result. Every session is saved to your History tab.
RAPID · 60s
BLITZ · 30s
BULLET · 15s

PRIVACY POLICY
Effective date: August 16, 2026

Boulder Blitz ("the app") is a timer and scoring app for Tension Board climbers. This policy explains what data the app collects, why, and how it's handled.

Data we collect

Tension account credentials. To pick climbs from your board's catalogue and light them up over Bluetooth, the app needs to link your existing Tension Board account. When you do this, your Tension username and password are sent once, over an encrypted connection, to our backend. They are encrypted at rest and used only to obtain and refresh a session with Tension's own service on your behalf — we don't use them for anything else, and we never see or store your Tension password in plain text.

Session data. When you complete a climbing session, the app saves it to your account so it shows up in your session history: board name, target grade and angle, round count and timing, and per-round results (which climb, how many attempts, points scored). This lets you review past sessions across devices.

Bluetooth data. The app connects directly to your Tension Board over Bluetooth to read hold positions and set LED colors for the selected climb. This connection is local, phone-to-board — no Bluetooth or board-identifying data is sent to our servers.

What we don't collect. Boulder Blitz has no analytics SDK, no crash reporting, no advertising, and doesn't request access to your camera, contacts, location, or microphone. Duel Mode player names you enter for a head-to-head session stay on your device only — they are never sent to our servers.

How your data is stored and secured
Data sharing

We don't sell or share your data with third parties. Your credentials are used solely to communicate with Tension/Aurora's own service on your behalf, as part of linking your board account.

Data retention and deletion

Your linked account, credentials, and session history are retained until you delete them.

In the app. Open the Profile tab and tap Delete my account. This immediately and permanently deletes your linked Tension account credentials and your full session history from our servers — there's no waiting period, and it can't be undone.

Without the app. If you no longer have the app installed, email us at the address below requesting deletion and we'll confirm once it's done.

Children's privacy

Boulder Blitz is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the effective date above.
