Hardware development takes place in Budapest, in the EU, software development takes place internationally, and assembly in Hungary.
OUR STORY
The idea of Clift was born in 2018 when Clift's co-founder Andras started climbing and became an enthusiast of the sport.
Andras experienced that many climbing gyms fall behind in rebuilding their routes. Even when they do so, labels and other hold highlighting methods are usually hard to understand for climbers. Not to mention that rebuilding a wall section requires a professional routesetter team. Plus wall downtime costs a fortune for gyms.
These problems led him to the innovation of Clift, an interactive system for indoor climbing gyms. The upgrade works well with all types of climbing walls and solves the problems related to the renewal of walls.
It may seem relevant today how the system should work, but it was not the case until 2019. Following up several interviews, testing, and ideations the MVP of Clift was introduced to the public in January of 2020 at the ISPO exhibition.
