Whether you’re a beginner, a child, or a seasoned athlete, taking a break on the wall is essential to climbing. That’s why we created an auto belay with a Catch-and-Hold feature that gives climbers the rest they need to finish routes.

Meet the world's first automatic belay with a "take" function. The TRUBLUE iQ PLUS features breakthrough catch-and-hold technology that allows climbers to relax, recuperate, and redo difficult techniques. The TRUBLUE iQ+, which is based on the next-generation iQ platform, combines best-in-class quality and endurance with never-before-seen capabilities. The future of auto belays has arrived.

The TRUBLUE iQ+, which is based on the next-generation iQ platform, combines best-in-class quality and endurance with never-before-seen capabilities. The future of auto belays has arrived.

The TRUBLUE iQ+ is the most significant advancement in auto belay technology in over a decade. The iQ+ is the first and only auto belay device with advanced features including catch-and-hold technology and IoT compatibility, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor climbing walls.

Every TRUBLUE iQ+, as the premium model in our iQ series, is handcrafted and built to last. The innovative magnetic braking mechanism is frictionless, allowing for high cycle counts with minimal maintenance and internal part wear.

How does Catch-and-hold work?

Climbers activate the Catch-and-Hold belay by pressing the TRUBLUE button at the bottom of the wall. When the climber falls during ascent, TRUBLUE iQ+ will catch-and-hold the climber for up to 30 seconds, during which the climber may proceed at any time. Once at the top, the climber can disengage Catch-and-Hold belay by pressing a secondary TRUBLUE button, allowing the climber to descend safely without pause.

Catch-and-Hold Belay

TRUBLUE iQ+ is the first and only auto belay in the world that can “take.” TRUBLUE is no longer just a life-safety device. It’s a climbing partner, allowing climbers to rest and project routes anytime. Now everyone can feel what it’s like to make it to the top.

Built-in Durability

The TRUBLUE iQ+ accommodates today’s gym owner with improved wider webbing, a replaceable mount guard, and a built-in back bumper, making it ready for heavy use. And route setters will appreciate the smaller and lighter design, which makes installation easier.

Future Proof

Designed on an IoT platform, TRUBLUE iQ+ is the smartest auto belay on the planet. With built-in connectivity, it is ready for whatever you dream up, from data acquisition to service reminders to photo and video capabilities - all straight from your device.

Magnetic Braking

TRUBLUE magnetic braking technology responds to every climber individually, providing a consistent, smooth descent, regardless of weight. Climbers will appreciate TRUBLUE’s catch, which has been adjusted to be more responsive and quieter during descent.
