SummitScore gives every hike a 0–100 performance score — calculated from trail difficulty, your pace, heart rate efficiency, and recovery context. Not just miles. Real insight.
Most apps tell you how far you hiked.
SummitScore tells you how well you hiked.
It factors in trail difficulty, your pace efficiency relative to the terrain, your heart rate against your output, and your body's readiness — then distills it into a single, meaningful performance score you can track over time.
Your SummitScore is built from four measurable dimensions of hiking performance, each weighted to reflect what actually matters on the trail.
The objective difficulty of the route — elevation gain rate, steepness, and total distance. How hard was the trail itself?
How efficiently you moved across the terrain. Elevation-normalised pace from GPS — not just your flat-ground speed.
Physiological cost versus output — your heart rate relative to pace. Were you working harder than the terrain required?
Pacing consistency throughout the hike. Did you hold your effort steady or crash on the back half?
Every hike gets a 0–100 score based on how efficiently you handled the terrain, elevation, and conditions — not just whether you finished.
See exactly how challenging a trail is — factoring in elevation gain rate, steepness, distance, and terrain type — before you go.
Your score accounts for sleep quality and recovery signals — so you know if a tough hike was hard because of the trail, or because you weren't ready.
See how hard your body actually worked — with HR efficiency metrics that show whether you were cruising or redlining on every hike.
Track how your scores improve across weeks and months. See real fitness gains — not just more miles logged.
Get predicted scores for trails you haven't done yet — based on your current fitness, route profile, and performance on similar terrain.
Link your Strava account and optionally your Oura Ring. SummitScore imports your hikes, heart rate, sleep, and recovery data automatically.
Every hike is analyzed against the trail's difficulty profile, your GPS and HR data, and your readiness state. You get a single, clear score.
Track progress, compare performance across trails, and use predictions to find hikes matched to your current fitness level.
SummitScore works with the devices and apps in your existing setup — so there's nothing new to wear or carry.
Import your hiking activities automatically. SummitScore uses GPS streams and heart rate data to power Execution, Efficiency, and Resilience scoring. Read-only — we never post or modify your Strava profile.
Pull in your daily readiness, sleep quality, and recovery scores. SummitScore adjusts your hike score to reflect whether your body was ready for the effort.
Built for hikers who care about
more than mileage and elevation.
