The missing piece in modern routesetting
Most routesetting decisions rely on experience, intuition and manual observation. S.P.O.T. adds objective climbing data to the equation, helping your team understand how every climb is actually being used.
Anonymous by design
S.P.O.T. processes all activity anonymously. No personal data is collected, no identities are tracked, and no video is stored. Only climbing activity data is used to generate insights.
Automatic by nature
Once installed, S.P.O.T. works silently in the background. No input required from climbers, staff or routesetters. It observes, measures and reports automatically.
Built for climbing
S.P.O.T. uses a climbing-specific computer vision model trained exclusively on climbing movement. It understands attempts, tops, and climbing behaviour in ways general-purpose systems cannot.
Decisions backed by data
Instead of relying on gut feeling or manual headcounts, your routesetting team gets objective performance data for every climb on every wall, every day.
From climbing activity to better routesetting
Every attempt, top and movement helps you understand how your climbs perform. S.P.O.T. continuously collects anonymous activity data and transforms it into actionable insights inside S.E.T.
Explore the setup
Discreet Hardware
S.P.O.T. uses two cameras per wall section, paired with a local processing computer installed inside your gym. All video processing happens on-site in real time, so no footage ever leaves your facility.
- Two compact cameras per wall section
- Local processing computer for real-time analysis
Climbing Vision Engine
A purpose-built computer vision and machine learning model trained exclusively on climbing movement. It detects attempts, tops, and activity patterns with precision.
- Climbing-specific computer vision model
- Real-time attempt and top detection
- Continuous learning from climbing activity
Analytics Dashboard
A dedicated analytics module inside S.E.T. that transforms raw climbing data into clear, actionable insights. Track climb performance, monitor lifecycle, compare popularity across walls, and understand how your gym’s climbing offering evolves over time.
- Climb performance and popularity tracking
- Route lifecycle and grade consistency analysis
- Wall-by-wall usage comparison
- Historical trends and routesetting insights
What can you actually measure?
S.P.O.T. continuously transforms anonymous climbing activity into meaningful metrics that help your team make better routesetting decisions.
Privacy built into every detection
Every detection is processed locally inside your gym. Video is analysed in real time, immediately discarded, and never leaves your facility. Only anonymous climbing activity is used to generate insights.

“We now have a much clearer view of what our customers actually enjoy and how long boulders remain attractive. This has been incredibly helpful in planning new sets and in how we distribute grades across the wall. You gain a much deeper understanding of your customers. Not just a gut feeling, but actual data showing which grades and boulders they prefer.”

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about S.P.O.T. and how it works with S.E.T.
S.P.O.T. stands for Smart Performance Observation Tool. It automatically observes climbing activity and turns it into insights for your routesetting team. Available as an add-on to S.E.T., it helps you understand how climbs and walls are used.
Cameras covering your climbing walls connect to a local processing computer. A climbing-specific computer vision model detects attempts, tops, and movement patterns in real time and turns them into anonymous climbing activity data.
No. S.P.O.T. measures climbing activity anonymously. It does not identify climbers, recognize faces, or build personal profiles. Climbers do not need an app, a wearable, or an account.
No. Video is processed locally inside your gym in real time and immediately discarded. Only anonymous climbing activity data is used to generate insights.
Learn more about privacyS.P.O.T. detects attempts, tops, and climbing activity. These measurements help your team understand climb popularity, success rates, lifecycle, grade consistency, and activity across different walls.
S.P.O.T. is an add-on to S.E.T. Its dedicated analytics module brings automated climbing activity data into your existing routesetting workflow, alongside the climbs and walls you manage in S.E.T.
The setup uses two compact cameras per wall section and a local processing computer inside your gym. Contact our team to discuss camera coverage and the installation requirements for your space.
The right setup depends on your gym’s walls and camera coverage. Tell us about your wall layout and climbing disciplines so we can assess the setup with you.
S.P.O.T. uses a computer vision model trained specifically on climbing movement. Contact our team to discuss detection performance and what to expect with your gym’s setup.
S.P.O.T. is designed around anonymous activity data: no facial recognition, personal profiles, or stored video. The gym is responsible for its use of the system and applicable local data protection requirements. Our privacy page explains how processing works and the responsibilities involved.
