We caught up with representatives from two climbing gyms that have hosted major speed climbing competitions in the past year to find out their thoughts on the growth of the sport, the behind-the-scenes preparations that went into organizing a speed climbing competition, and their plans for hosting future competitions. 

We engineer and manufacture three different models of auto belays for climbing facilities to choose from: the TRUBLUE iQ, the TRUBLUE iQ+, and the TRUBLUE SPEED. All three TRUBLUEs come with our patented magnetic braking technology and are certified for a user weight between 22 – 309 pounds.

Answering the most pressing questions about proper auto belay usage and how to maximize safety across a variety of climbing facilities.

Strategies to help instill a lifelong love of climbing, while still allowing kids to receive the full benefits and desired development out of their playtime.

Whether you’re looking for a better workout plan, blowing off steam, or you just think that climbing is fun, every person has their own reasons for climbing.

There’s a good chance that is not the first word that pops into your head when you think about auto belays. One argument that we hear from gym owners against using auto belays is that they are counter-productive to building a tight-knit climbing community. But that’s not the way that pro climber and gym owner Chris Sharma sees it.

2x Paraclimbing World Champion, Maureen “Mo” Beck, explains how the catch-and-hold feature of iQ+ can help make training more accessible to more climbers.

Even for an expert climber and adventurer like Sara Aranda, stepping into a climbing gym can be an intimidating experience. In her recent article, she reflects on the role that auto belays play in creating a more diverse, inclusive, and accessible climbing community.

In this video Chris Sharma explains how he uses TRUBLUE Auto Belays to train at his newly opened state of the art climbing gym, Sharma Climbing Madrid, including these three main tips: mileage, campusing and just climb!
