What Is a Moon Board

The MoonBoard is a standardised interactive training wall that connects a global community of climbers through shared problems and competitive performance rankings. … Each climbing hold is set at a specific location and orientation on the board, creating an identical setup to other MoonBoards around the world.

Is MoonBoarding good training?

Why train on the MoonBoard? The MoonBoard is great for training dynamic, “poppy” movement—especially for climbers with very controlled technique. But, dynamic climbers take note: You can use the board to increase body tension and controlled movement by not letting your feet cut.

How hard is a MoonBoard?

The Moonboard is a specific kind of bouldering: short, steep and fingery. If your outdoor projects don’t have those characteristics you might struggle (Fontainebleau). I find the benchmarks to be 1-2 grades harder than outdoor benchmarks of a similar style.
