Clift System

The Clift System is a brand new style of “customizable system boards” that CRG Syracuse is helping to develop. This system allows gyms to use their own choice of holds and has the unique capability of detecting the holds you touch as you climb.

The Clift system can be integrated for a variety of climbing disciplines including bouldering, auto belay, top rope, and lead climbing. The specific climbing disciplines available with the Clift System will depend on which location you are climbing at and which walls integrate the System.

The Clift System has two ways of interfacing:
1. Using the wall-mounted tablet next to each system, climbers are able to browse through preset routes, play climbing games, and track a “freestyle climb” so you can see which holds you touched along the way.
2. Via the Clift mobile app, climbers can join the climbing community at their CRG location and gain access to more interactive features. The app allows you to set your own routes, share them with the community, and participate in community challenges!

Difficulty Level: Similar to a spray wall, the difficulty of the Clift system will depend on which climbing discipline you are participating in and how the holds are configured at your specific location. Difficulty level can range from extremely beginner friendly to more advanced based on the setup and climbing discipline.
