S.P.O.T. Climbing activity analytics # Turn activity into better setting S.P.O.T. automatically measures climbing activity throughout your gym and transforms it into insights that help your team make better routesetting decisions. Available as an add-on for S.E.T., S.P.O.T. brings real climbing data into your routesetting workflow. [See pricing & feature list](https://climbalong.com/pricing#gym-pricing) ## 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. Observe ### Monitor every climb automatically S.P.O.T. cameras passively observe climbing activity across your gym walls. No climber interaction needed. No wearables. No apps. Just continuous, anonymous observation of every attempt and top. Analyse ### Convert activity into meaningful performance data A climbing-specific computer vision model processes video in real time, detecting attempts, tops, and movement patterns. Raw activity is transformed into structured climbing data before video is immediately discarded. Understand ### Discover popularity, lifecycle, grade consistency and usage trends The S.P.O.T. analytics module inside S.E.T. presents climbing data as clear, actionable insights. See which climbs are popular, track performance over time, compare grades, and understand how your walls are being used. Improve ### Plan smarter routesetting using objective insights Use objective climbing data to guide your routesetting decisions. Know which climbs need refreshing, which grades are performing well, and where to focus your team's time and effort for maximum impact. ## 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. MetricsClimbing activity insights ### Popularity Understand which climbs attract the most activity. Track attempt counts and engagement levels to see what climbers gravitate toward and what gets overlooked. Metrics ### Lifecycle Monitor how climb engagement evolves from the day it's set to the day it's stripped. See when interest peaks, plateaus, and declines to optimize rotation timing. Metrics ### Success Rate Measure the ratio of successful tops to total attempts across every climb. Identify which routes are too hard, too easy, or hitting the sweet spot for your climbers. Metrics ### Grade Consistency Compare expected difficulty against actual climber performance data. Spot grading inconsistencies and ensure your grade pyramid aligns with real climbing behaviour. MetricsClimbing activity insights ### Route Quality Combine popularity, success rate, and lifecycle data into a holistic quality score. Understand which climbs deliver the best experience and learn what makes them work. MetricsClimbing activity insights ### Wall Performance Compare activity levels across different walls and sections of your gym. Identify which areas attract the most climbers, spot underperforming zones, and make informed decisions about wall rotations and routesetting priorities. ## 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.

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.” Matthias Trottmann, Gym owner, Minimum - Minimum Switzerland - O’Bloc Switzerland - Kolding Klatreklub Denmark - Dansk Bjerg- og Klatreklub Denmark - Bison Boulders Denmark ## 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 privacy](https://climbalong.com/spot/privacy) S.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.
