What is board climbing?
Standardized boards are climbing walls with an adjustable angle and systemized holds. This means that each board exists in the same format in locations around the world. Climbing problems can be created and replicated via an app and are displayed on the board with lights. This means you can climb a problem set by someone on the other side of the globe or make problems for your friends.
Why though?
The variety of hold types and layouts on each board gives every individual board it’s own character. With this diversity you can have fun pushing grades and exploring movement or maximize your training by focusing on specific skills and strengths.
What do I need?
First time visitors will need to fill out a waiver and watch our orientation video.
Age limit?
There is no age limit to climb. Anyone 16 and under must be supervised by an adult to climb and adjust the boards.
Do I need any gear?
Climbing shoes are required. We have them to rent for $6 if you don’t have your own.
What are the rules?
You must wear climbing shoes to use the boards.
Keep your shirt on.
