Griptonite Launches “Spray,” a New Pro Feature for Movement Analysis Inside the Griptonite App

April 6, 2026 — For the moment every climber has had: “Wait… how did they do that?”

Most climbers know the feeling. You see someone do a move that makes no sense to you. You watch it again. Still nothing. Maybe someone shouts some beta across the mats. Maybe it helps. Maybe it doesn’t.

Spray was built for that moment.

Instead of giving climbers more beta to copy, Spray helps them see why a move worked in the first place. The aim is not to hand out one answer for one climb. It is to help people build better movement understanding that carries over to the next problem too.

Why we made this feature

Video has become a normal part of climbing. People film attempts, rewatch moves, share beta and compare sequences all the time. But most of that still relies on interpretation. You either see it or you don’t. That is the gap Spray is trying to close.

In other sports, video analysis has been normal for years. In climbing, most people are still piecing things together from replays, guesses, and whatever advice they get thrown.

That works up to a point. But it is limited.

Most beta only solves one problem, for one person, on one attempt. We wanted to build something more useful than that. Something that helps climbers understand movement patterns, not just copy positions.

Who it’s for

Spray is built for a wide range of climbers, from newer climbers through to elite athletes, including:

Newer climbers who want to understand basic movement better and stop repeating the same mistakes
Intermediate climbers trying to break plateaus and expand the range of movement options they can use
Advanced and elite climbers refining timing, efficiency and body positions on harder sequences
Coaches, routesetters and content creators who want a clearer way to explain movement without disappearing into technical jargon

What it does

Spray starts with a simple question:

What actually happened there?

Climbers can upload their own video or explore someone else’s, then switch on overlays that help show what the movement is doing and why it worked.

The overlays are grouped into four skill types, because different climbs reward different things.

Trajectory Analysis (Momentum)

Big moves are rarely solved just through reach. Whether it is a pogo, dyno, swing or catch, Trajectory Analysis helps show where momentum starts, where it travels, and how the climber is controlling it. It can also show how limb movement is being used to kill momentum around the centre of mass so the move can be held rather than just touched.

Balance & Stability

Good balance often looks simple from the outside, but it usually is not. This toolbox helps make small adjustments more visible, showing how coordinated shifts in the body move the centre of mass into a supported position so other limbs are free to make useful progress.

Joint Angle Analysis (Flexibility & Positioning)

As climbs get harder, margin for error gets smaller. This tool helps spot where someone is forcing a move instead of moving well, and where better joint positioning, mobility or body shape might open up a better option.

Timing & Efficiency

A lot of climbing habits only become obvious when you can actually see them. Favourite clipping hand? Hanging around too long before committing? Over-staying every rest? The Timing module helps make those patterns easier to spot so climbers can move more efficiently and waste less energy.

Compare like a pro

Spray also includes comparison modes that let climbers look at different attempts side by side. That could mean comparing your own attempts against each other, or comparing your sequence with someone else’s. Features include synced side-by-side playback, slow motion, shadow and overlay compare modes, and control over which overlays are visible.

How much it costs

Spray is included with Griptonite PRO: £39.99/year.

There are no add-ons and no per-video fees. If you already have PRO, Spray is included.

Where to get it

Spray is available now inside the Griptonite app and supported at 200+ gyms worldwide.

To get started:

Download or open the Griptonite app
Upgrade to PRO, or log in if you already have it
Go to Spray and start analysing your own climbs or exploring other people’s videos

Frequent Questions

Does it need a fixed camera?
A. No! You can use your own smart phone held in your hand or propped up on a water bottle. Our analysis can even handle small movements and pans across the wall.
Is it a new app?
A. No! Same Griptonite app as usual. The analysis is just a new feature upgrade for you.
Can I export?
A. YES! You can export videos with overlays or synced up in compare modes. This makes it real easy to post to SM, help coach-client conversations or anything more extravagant.
What about privacy?
A. During upload, users can select if their videos can be seen by others. Private betas remain private while public ones can be used by the community for comparison and learning.
