Intelligent protection
at every station
GripIQ is an AI safety device that scans climbers' harnesses and knots in real time. Two cameras, LED signaling and a sound alert are built into a climbing hold mounted between routes, watching the routes on both sides — and an AI that recognises knots and harnesses checks every climber.
One hold.
Two cameras. Zero compromises.
GripIQ is a climbing hold with two built-in cameras. It mounts between two routes like any other hold, plus system configuration. Its cameras watch the routes on both sides, so every route is covered from two angles. Connects to the gym's local network.
- 2 cameras — one for each neighbouring route
- AI model trained on real gym footage
- Real-time analysis
- LED signaling: Standby · Safe · Check again + sound alert
- WiFi / LAN — internet connection required
- Operates autonomously 24/7 without extra staff
GripIQ in detail
Plug-and-scan. Zero workflow changes.
GripIQ sits in the wall as a hold next to the route. It only speaks up when something's wrong.
Climber approaches the wall
They put on their harness and tie in with a figure-eight knot — as always. GripIQ requires no interaction from the climber.
2 cameras scan the setup
One camera in the hold on each side of the route captures harness and knot automatically. No QR code or NFC card needed.
AI model analyzes
Our AI, trained on real gym footage, checks knot type, correctness, and harness fit. Real-time result.
Instant signal
Green = go climb. Red + sound alert = check again. Staff gets a dashboard notification.
GripIQ in two tiers
Start with a single-station pilot — scale when you're ready.
Tier 1 · Pilot
- 2 GripIQ holds — one on each side of the route
- Harness + figure-eight knot check
- LED signal: Standby · Safe · Check again + sound alert — no screen
- Staff dashboard with session log (CSV export)
- WiFi / LAN — internet connection required
Tier 2 · Network
- Everything in Tier 1, plus:
- Color screen — route info, grades & advertising
- Per-route risk map
- Cross-gym safety benchmarks
