    Please share the activity as web link, and post the link here. Most likely the Elevation Gain was not sufficient.

    Check out my floor climbing activity on Garmin Connect. #beatyesterday

    Unfortunately, your barometric altimeter registered ony 70m of Elevation Gain, and that is not enough, although the Ascent value is much higher and would be sufficient if it was considered. For the Floor Climb badge it is the Elevation Gain, which is used, though.

    Thanks for looking into this! Base on the definition of the badge...Looks like I'll never be awarded for the virtual climbing badge even if  I expend 3-4 hours climbing my house stairs! lol

    Thanks again! Slight smile

    Looks to me as if you need to go slower, and take a few seconds rest when you climb the floor, before you descend again. It looks like you are too fast for the barometer to catch up on you Smiley Or pehaps the pressure sensor hole is just clogged with dirt, dust, or sweat. Make sure to keep it clean and dry.

    Yes, the activity seems to be all right for the 735ft Druid Arch badge. Both Elevation Gain and Ascent are above the limit, the floor count is all right, as well as the date of the activity, and the activity type. 

    You could try activating the edit function making a minor change (adding a Calorie, for example) and saving it. Toggling the activity type to another sport and back to Floor Climb again, is another way that often works even when editing the title, oe actvity made no effect.

    If it does not help either, export the activity in the FIT format (the option Export Original in the cogwheel menu), delete the activity from GC, and reimport it from the FIT file. 

    If nothing helps, contact the Support providing them the link to the activity, and please let us then know what they told you - it might be interesting to know what the reason of the failure was, for others too.

    Hey Trux - please check into mine as well. I should have smashed all 4 of the virtual climb badges but nothing is showing after 500m of elevation gain.....I'm using a Fenix 3 which doesn't seem to hav the Floor Climb app. Is there another app I can use?
