Lane C

Lane C is the first speed-climbing analysis that runs entirely on your device — no account, no upload. It turns a video of your run into a skeletal breakdown, phase splits, a speed curve and a share-ready card in seconds. And it logs the rest of the session — the reps that were never filmed. Film handheld or from a tripod: Lane C locks onto the wall automatically, even with a moving camera and two climbers in frame. Filmed a race? Both lanes become runs from one clip. EVERY RUN, BROKEN DOWN • AI skeletal overlay of every move. • Start / Middle / Finish splits and a smoothed speed curve, with the finish timed to the pad slap rather than the top-out. • The official speed route rendered hold-for-hold, true to the real wall. FILM IT WITHOUT A SECOND PAIR OF HANDS • A countdown timer gives you time to get on the wall after you hit record. • Or let Lane C sound the start signal and start and stop the recording itself. LOG THE WHOLE SESSION AT THE WALL • Session mode is a full-screen logger for a phone propped at the wall: one big button per attempt, a live count, a tally by range. • Log a partial run the way you climbed it — start to hold 10, hold 10 to finish, anything between. • On a pulley or in a weight vest? Record the assist, added or supported, with the kilos if you know them. • A Live Activity keeps the count on your Lock Screen — log the next one without unlocking. • Or log from Siri, a widget or Control Center, each reusing the range and assist you climbed last. SESSIONS ADD THEMSELVES UP • Attempts logged close together become a session automatically; you set the break length. • Every session gets a card: attempts by range, metres climbed, clean rate, best time, errors. • Open one for the whole day: which holds took the volume, where the falls clustered, every attempt in order. • Partial reps finally count: a 1–10 time is compared only with other 1–10 times, so lower-wall work shows progress instead of polluting your PR. • Training volume by day and week, and metres climbed against the four weeks before. RACE ANY TWO RUNS • Play two runs side by side: today against your PR, or you against a teammate. • Sync by time to see who's ahead, or by height to compare technique hold-for-hold, with overlaid speed curves and a splits delta. SEE WHERE YOU KEEP SLIPPING • Tag the holds you came off on, and the wall smears between them. • They build an errors-by-hold heatmap on the real speed wall, filtered by route and period. • A clean flag keeps a sloppy-fast time from setting a false PR, and a competition flag keeps training and competition numbers apart. • Personal bests, time trends and split history on one dashboard. FOR ATHLETES AND FOR COACHES • Tell Lane C once whether you climb or coach; your other devices follow via iCloud. • Coaches get a named roster and a Session mode built for a group: a tile per climber on iPad and Mac, each with their own range, assist and tally. • Someone not on the roster dropped in? Log them as a guest and assign the attempts later. • A training view across the squad: who trained, how much, and who has gone quiet. • Export a run card, Instagram sticker or clip in one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The full analysis runs on the Neural Engine of your device. No account, no upload. • Optional iCloud sync keeps your runs in your private iCloud, visible to no one else. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PAID • Free, no account, no time limit: three analyzed runs a week, the Logbook, Session mode, session stats, error tagging and sharing. • Lane C Athlete: unlimited analyses, side-by-side comparison, both lanes from a race clip, capture assists and the progress dashboard. • Lane C Coach: everything in Athlete, plus the named athlete roster and Family Sharing. • Yearly plans start with a 14-day free trial Your own lane. lanec.app Terms of Use (EULA): https://lanec.app/en/terms
