Climbing alone or with a partner — the fall you can't call in.
Climbing mode runs the highest fall sensitivity Vygard offers, because a fall from height is exactly the moment you can't reach your phone. Keep a belay buddy in the loop and a log of your gear's life.

A fall from height is high-energy and sudden, and it's the moment you're least able to reach for a phone. Climbing mode turns fall sensitivity to its highest setting and keeps a partner in the loop, so someone always knows the session is live.
