MONTREAL, QC – Lemur Design, a global leader in high-performance climbing wall solutions, is proud to announce its exclusive partnership with MBS Industry to distribute the BASS (Bassa & Sébastien System) across North America. This collaboration brings the world’s most advanced auto-belay safety technology to the continent’s rapidly growing climbing gym market.
Elevating Safety Standards
Developed by Olympic climber Bassa Mawem, world-class climber Micka Mawem, and engineer Sébastien Kuehn, BASS was engineered to eliminate the most critical risk in indoor climbing: human error. The system utilizes real-time sensors to detect if a climber has failed to clip into their auto-belay. Upon detecting an unclipped start, BASS triggers an immediate 110 dB audio and visual alarm, stopping a potential accident before the climber gains height.
Beyond Safety: Smart Management for Gym Owners
“At Lemur, we build training spaces that last. Adding BASS to our portfolio allows us to offer the ultimate layer of protection for those spaces,” says Abel Chouinard of Lemur Design. “It’s not just a siren; it’s a sophisticated management tool that provides lane-by-lane usage tracking, predictive maintenance data, and seamless remote updates.”
Key Features of the BASS System:
- Universal Compatibility: Works with all auto-belays on the market and installs on any wall profile.
- Dual-Climber Detection: Alerts staff if a second climber enters a lane that is already occupied.
- Predictive Maintenance: Tracks descent counts to help managers anticipate when auto-belay units require servicing.
- Flexible Access: Available via direct purchase or custom rental plans tailored to gym scale.
Availability
Lemur Design is now accepting inquiries for BASS installations across the U.S. and Canada. Gym owners can choose from multiple acquisition models designed to fit both new builds and existing facilities.
