This is an interesting idea. I was wondering if the app contain following features could make it better, loved to discuss them: 1. There will be a weekly weekly leaderboard on the app for different walls and routes. Climbers need upload and share videos of their attemptes to qualify for the leaderboard. Since the app could resolve the input video into 3D/4Dspace, it could automatically determine and calculate the time that each climber takes to finish the route. The leaderboard resets every week, based on the gym's route-setting schedule. 2. For beginners, it can be difficult for them to identify the correct sequence of moves. If you could partnered with the gyms to place a QR code on each wall, climbers could scan it to view the recommended beta or move sequence on the app when they are stuck. That would be really helpful.

Solid feedback, thanks! 1. is very doable. My local gym uses an app to manage monthly leaderboard already and people seem to like it. There is a friendly rivalry in my local gym where people "fight" for the top spots 2. A lot can be done from the helping beginner angle. A coach told me he wishes to show hip placement and movement to young climbers, as it is easier to show than to tell an 8yo. I thought of doing inverse kinematics from holds to resolve body positions, so I get beta (sequence of moves) for each problem right away. Too hard, don't know if it is solvable. A bit tangential, I think in theory the climbing wall with a set of problems is itself an identifiable code. We might get rid of the QR code too. I can create an index of visual features that resolves to a camera position, raycast from camera position to narrow down to maybe 3-5 problems, and select videos from there. But I digress.

https://griptonite.io/ https://griptonite.io/ my gym uses this, qr/nfc on routes with ability to take video and it shows you as stick man and where weight is etc. its new but seems good!
