No climbing partner? Weather sucks? No rocks? No matter what the reason, Solo Joe provides an entertaining distraction when real climbing is not an option.

If you are a climber, and you're looking for the perfect rest day activity then look no further. This game was specifically designed for climbers, and incorporates many aspects of the sport. In all of its 8-bit glory, this is the next best thing to climbing. Even if you can't climb 5.12, or boulder V10, you might be able to Solo Joe 5.15.

This RPG provides a virtual environment that mimics many aspects of the sport, including trad climbing, sport climbing, and free soloing. With challenging gear placements and a variety of crux types, each of the nearly 200 routes is its own adventure. Level up your character; learn important skills; build an impressive rack; and tackle progressively harder routes.
