Lizcore®, the Spanish tech startup revolutionizing indoor climbing, is showcasing its latest safety innovation at CWA Summit 2025, North America’s leading conference for the climbing gym industry, taking place this week in Salt Lake City.

Addressing the critical issue of human error in autobelay usage, Lizcore® introduces its groundbreaking Safety Gate for Autobelay system. This smart solution is being demonstrated live in collaboration with Perfect Descent Climbing Systems, the global leader in autobelay devices, at the Perfect Descent booth throughout the summit.

Lizcore®’s Safety Gate employs Artificial Intelligence (AI), developed in partnership with the inLabFIB innovation lab at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in Spain, combined with a camera system to proactively prevent accidents. The technology automatically verifies the climber’s correct connection to the autobelay, checks harness and carabiner placement, and detects unauthorized or unsecured climbing attempts, triggering visual and audio alerts along with real-time notifications in Lizcore®’s app and climbing gym management software.

“Being at the CWA Summit is crucial for Lizcore®. Showcasing our Safety Gate here, alongside an industry leader like Perfect Descent, highlights our commitment to global climbing safety and marks a significant step in our international expansion,” said Edgar Casanovas, CEO of Lizcore®. “Our goal is to provide climbing gyms with tools that make climbing not only safer but also smarter and more efficient.”

During the event, Lizcore® also announced the launch of pre-orders for the Safety Gate in the U.S. market, with commercial availability expected in 2026, following advanced AI training phases currently underway at gyms in Spain. Furthermore, Perfect Descent Climbing Systems has been confirmed as the official distributor in the U.S. for Lizcore®’s Safety Gate technology, strengthening the strategic alliance between the two companies.

A climbing gym in the city of Barcelona is expected to implement this impressive technology soon, demonstrating the city’s potential to be a leader in climbing tech innovation.
