Intro To
Board Climbing
Our walls offer complete adjustability, granting you the freedom to set any angle you desire with the press of a button. This revolutionary feature caters to climbers of every skill level, providing a great environment for learning how to climb while enhancing strength and refining techniques.
Climbing boards, also known as "standardized interactive training boards," form an integral part of our facilities. We take pride in offering a diverse range of standardized boards, including 12x12 Kilter, 12x12 Tension Board 2 (spray layout), 12x12 Decoy Board, Grasshopper Board and Moon 2016. To ensure consistency and uniformity worldwide, each wall is meticulously installed following precise instructions. A Kilter Board in our gym is identical to one found in gyms across the world.
Using an app on your smartphone, you gain full control over each wall, with the ability to illuminate over 100,000 preprogrammed routes. The app allows you to create your own custom routes.
Kilter Board
The Kilter Board provides a welcoming experience for climbers of all levels, whether you're a beginner or an experienced expert. They have illuminated holds that guide you through diverse challenges, offering a wide selection of over 100,000 routes on a 12x12 wall. These boards are user-friendly and easy to learn, making them accessible to everyone. If you're new to the gym, we highly recommend starting your climbing journey with this outstanding wall.

Tension Board 2
We are so excited to include the brand new Tension Board 2 at the gym. Our Tension Board is set as the spray wall edition, meaning more opportunity for unique movement and interesting setting as opposed to it’s mirror counterpart.
This incredible wall is ideal for training delicate footwork (very similar to outdoor climbing) and encourages good tension and core control to master.

Decoy Board
Our Decoy board offers a versatile range of adjustments, from 0 to 70 degrees, ensuring accessibility for climbers of all skill levels even though the holds may be slightly smaller than the Kilterboard. Its symmetrical, "mirrored" design allows you to reverse problems with a simple button press on your Decoy app, enabling you to target and strengthen both sides and address weaknesses effectively. With unique and nuanced holds, this wall fosters creativity, encouraging more imaginative movement and problem-solving during climbs. Routes are illuminated by lights underneath the holds. . It's the perfect choice for those focused on training specifically for outdoor climbing, and it's our go-to board for Smith Rock training!

Grasshopper Board
The Grasshopper board has the biggest holds among all standardized walls, providing great chances for heel hooks, toe hooks, and building open hand grip strength. It mimics climbing on traditional boulders in commercial climbing gyms, and its illuminated holds make it visually appealing and comfortable to climb. With its ergonomic design, it's an excellent choice for beginners and serves as a perfect starting point for those beginning their climbing journey. Similar to the Decoy Board, the hold layout is mirrored, allowing you to identify and target weaknesses in your climbing.
Moon Board - 2016
The Moonboard is the original climbing board, and we proudly feature its first hold set (2016). This wall is renowned for its heightened difficulty and captures the raw and occasionally awkward essence of outdoor climbs. Despite its challenging and unforgiving nature, the Moonboard has amassed a devoted following. Climbing through its classic and ever-expanding list of "benchmark" routes can become an addictively exhilarating challenge
