Great video! I like the tension board because of the mirroring, the kilter board because of the design and the moon board because of the community behind it.
As a coach and someone who trains on a kilter board a lot most of the value(for me) comes from the variable angle of the board and being able to take easy/moderate climbs and make them near impossible by increasing the angle and using it as a training tool. In addition to creating climbs that isolate my or my students weaknesses. Likewise since anyone can make a climb on any of the boards how hard the climb is is less dependent on the brand of board and more on the climb you select, who made it, and if the grade is even accurate given that there's no oversight or indication of the creators experience level. All that being said I love videos like this and I'll be trying all the kilter climbs you guys did when I'm back at the gym! Keep it up!
The tension board in my gym is adjustable, though I dunno if that's a feature all ship with. But difficulty actually does vary significantly by hold choice and friction. If you compare the friction you'll see how big of a difference they are. There are not many jugs on the tension board, also the pinches and crimps will feel horrid at 35 degrees. I feel that it does limit training for beginners(hold slipperiness and types), but I don't think boards are ideal for beginners because of the restriction on possible moves and repetitive nature of board climbing. I feel they ought to do more interesting routes or they may come to hate climbing. Board climbing should be viewed more as a hang board that actual climbing at the end of the day so I wouldn't toss v0 climber on any of them, just don't think they'd enjoy it much.
Climbed on a tension board twice and I also found it super challenging, especially remembering which hold to use, because somtimes you can't see the LEDs behind the holds while climbing. But, I think it's similar to the moonboard: it takes some time to get used to, untill you are familiar with all the holds and what you need to do, to be able to hold them and then it gets better. I love those training boards, they're my favourite tool to push myself to climb harder.
These boards are all harder than your average graded gym routes. takes a bit to get used to using them but they are great for trainning. I have a Kilterboard at my gym and i spend most days trainning on it and ive already seen great improvements in my strength. Ive tried all 3 and the Kilter is my favorite.
Was scrolling through and saw the thumbnail and was like "damn that looks like my gyms set up" turns out it is my gym🤣 hope y'all grabbed beers at the bar afterwards.
Only criticism i have is to really compare them you should have climbed benchmark or benchmark equivalent problems. The ones you and rockentry did on the tension board have like 2 repeats and were set by random people. The one garrett did you was at least set by will anglin who makes the tension board. Speaking from experience ive been basically shut down on some WAnglin V2-3s and flashed random peoples V5-6's on both sides. Other than that great video/concept that i think will help you engage with the community more! looking forward to trying these ones!
Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I am fairly new to the boards so I asked Garret to pick the problems for me this time. For the next board video, I will definitely pick benchmarks problems to climb!
i dont think the boards are comparable like that, it highly depends on the problem you choose on each board, theres sandbagged ones and easy ones for each grade on each board
If I could have a single one of any of them, I would definitely go for Kilter board! (even better with a dark board colour hehe). Can go to ridiculously steep angles, and the lighting feature of it is by far the best (and coolest!).
I’ve never heard of the kilter board before, my gym has both tension and moonboard but I always get lost with the lights. Kilterboard lights look super useful!
My gym just recently got a tension board to accompany their moonboard, but I haven't really trained at all on them. Now I am super pumped to try the new tension board out and give the moonboard some love too!
Well done. Totally liked the various styles, support and sass-ha ha ha. Never really knew the difference of the boards. When an opportunity presents itself, will try them. Thanks-guys! 🤘
I'm so excited for our gym to get a moonboard. Even though I would prefer the Kilter, we simply don't have the money or space to get one (tiny gym with no more than 190 members atm). Can't wait.
this is really interesting but i just noticed that the far right handhold on the tension board v3 is displayed as purple on the app, which would mean just a foothold, but blue on the board. this would really change the problem and make it even harder
Just bought the grip block from your review, and can't wait until I get past this minor a2 pulley injury to use it. Wish I would have known you were in Colorado, would have loved to meet up for some light bouldering.
@Geek Climber what angle is your gym’s Kilter board set to? I am relatively new to climbing and can send V4 and some V5 in my gym but I cannot even send a V1 on the Kilter board. The board I’m using is set to 50 degrees from horizontal
As a tall climber who's climbed on all three a fair bit, so far I've found the kilter easiest, tension middle, and moonboard hardest, in terms of the max grades I can accomplish on each.
i think that the problems you chose on the Moon Board were some of the easier ones for the grade. I personally think that tension and moonboard are similar difficulty on average.
We had a Kilter board at adidas rockstars this year and I spent a couple of hours playing around on it... I love the texture and shape of the holds (the lighting is also dope and much easier to read than on the moon or tension board) and feel like it’s the most conducive to big dynamic moves while also still providing plenty of smaller holds to crimp the shit out of. Love it :)
I will do it once I learn the front lever! Otherwise, I don't think I have enough street cred for people to take me seriously, but you are right, I am really big into recovery.
Some routes are underrated in board apps, today I just got an all-shit-holds(original school holds) route on Moonboard, and just a V3. But I need to say, for moderate climber, training board is very good for enhancing finger power than just go bouldering.
You should hit EarthTreks Golden while you're here in my neck of the woods. The have nice roof sections in their lead walls. Downtown Denver has Movements bouldering gym too. Welcome to my home crag, Oswaldo!
@@DerButzemann94 I have really strong arms for my level, but quite weak fingers since im still a beginner. I didnt think my core was the problem til now, but maybe thats what i should focus on more.
Bla Blum because of the reduced friction of the holds, the main style of climbing each of the boards targets is magnified. Done well, a problem on the boards requires an intense core engagement and driving through feet with the potential of feet cutting. Having less friction means the core tension has to be maintained for longer because recruitment strength cannot compensate enough. Hopefully that makes sense. For me, that is why the moon board is probably the best tool because the holds have good texture but are poor angles and better replicate climbing hard boulders outdoors.
@@Cacovangor I think I understand, thus the name "tension board". Interestingly, v7 guy calls it "very outdoor-esk" :) Aren't cutting feet a major risk for finger injuries?
I think they're all great training tools, especially if you're a frequent climber and your gym doesn't set often. My gym sucks and only has one of the boards with a grid system (no lights/markers). It makes it really hard to visualize and remember the route. Therefore, I never use it. I'd rather re-climb existing problems.
This is a pretty old video but I thought I’d just leave my experience anyways : my gym has a moonboard which is ~2 years old I think and a new kilter board at 50 degrees. On the kilter I can easily climb 7A , which feels reachable on the moonboard benchmarks but I haven’t been able to send it yet.
i want to know are the climbs in each app typically comparable to outdoor ratings? Or is it similar to how the crux move on a v7 in many gyms wouldn't even be a v3 move on real rock.
But if the climbs are rated at the same grade, one board shouldn't be more difficult than another. If one board has slippy holds and one has grippy holds and they have a similar route and hold design, the one with the slippier holds should be rated as a more difficult climb.
I've climbed on all 3, and I built a Tension Board in my apartment to train on. You can't rely on friction and past the jugs there aren't too many great incut holds. The feet are more slippery too.
@@olivierdebruin3484 Hi Olivier, I didn't see this comment for 3 years! I have a climbing garage w. all 3 boards, angle adjustable. I really, really like the system board mirrorable aspect of the Tension board -- I can climb the same problem left to right and right to left. This makes training balanced and similar strength on both sites doable. I find that on the harder climbs on the TB (say v7/v8+) there are many problems I can only do one side. So training up both sides is really a good goal and something I continue focusing on.
all system boards benefit hugely from aggressive downturned shoes to out force into small edges on an overhang. i think its time you switch shoes and did a comparison of stiff shoes vs soft shoes (as i don't like people calling stiff shoes beginner shoes as they have their place well beyond the beginner phase and many manufacturers actually recommend a soft shoes for beginners; la sportiva maverink.)
Awesome video! Whetstone is my main gym I climb there all the time, sad to see I missed you guys. Are you and Rockentry still in Colorado? If so will you be returning to Whetstone before leaving?
Doing one moonboard problem is not a good indicator of difficulty... actually - moonboard grades are not good indicators at all - those grades are really horribly mixed. E.g. I once did a 7b (which was quite hard even for 7b...) and on the same training I found a 6a+ (yes, 6a+) with exactly the same holds minus one hold, so much harder version of that 7b. Moreover on 2017 hold-set almost each single 7a+ is more difficult than any 7b or 7b+. At the same time some 7a blocs are ridiculously easy, like no effort at all, while other are probably closer to 7c. Moreover if we compare 2017 and 2016 sets , then we will find out that 2016 set was way easier than 2017. I always found moonboard grades confusing and inconsistent. Imho there's no point trying to compare grades on moonboard while even 7a boulders are not 7a but something in range 6c-7b+. xD
I saw the board as too tendons intensive, i fear for injuries. And usually they don't really teach how to preserve you energy but just to power through problems, which is fine for bouldering but not for the rope in my opinion.
@@GeekClimber Unfortunately in the gyms near Milan i found only MoonBoard, but who knows i could found the kilter or the Tension in an another gym! If i will have the chance to try them i will! But i will wait a long time before trying the Moonboard! Thx for the answer!
Climbed on a Kilter board for the first time yesterday and loved it! We messed around at 35 degrees and then 70 (!!) degrees. I was flashing all the 5's at 35, so got a really good workout over about 2 hours or so. Trying 6's at 70 degrees was -intense-. Make sure you designate what angle your specific board is at next time (yours looked like about 45 I'm guessing?). My board is also the smaller one at 14x8 (yours looked like the big 'un (14x14?)).
I only climbed Kilter and Moonboard and I must say, if you climb for a long time only kilter board and then switch to moon you can't do a shit there. I can climb on kilter 7a and on moon 6b+ xD
Tension is “the” board. Best for training. Love the moonboard so fun and while the kilter is mostly just soft, has the best power training applications with its intended design of super steep angles. The three of the them make a happy three :)
Classic short climber saying "i cant reach that hold" without even trying. seen it way too many times. If your a shorter person stop comparing yourself to the lanky guy next to you. I swear they just want to not be able to reach it so bad.

Yeah we have KB at our gym and the light system and comfort level of the holds is so much better

I was totally blown away by it when I stepped into it!

Tension board is definitely the hardest among all of them!
Great vid Geek! Would love to see you do some moon board problems. Just starting on the moonboard myself... :)
There’s a MoonBoard in my gym so the videos are definitely coming!
Niceeee! Literary contemplating which to build!
Haha, have you made up your mind yet?
Moon or tension fore sure. Tension beat for getting strong, moon also gets you strong but is a lot more fun and holds have more variance
@@GeekClimber most likely moon! :)
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM. HELP ME.

Great video!
Glad you like it!
@11:25 Ayyy grotto 1 back in the day. Now we've got more boards ;)
the gym I go to just replaced their tensionboard with a tensionboard 2 and it's amazing, it's a mix of wood and plastic holds
That’s crazy. My gym has a tension and a moon board and everyone finds the tension to be the easier of the two.

Try 30º or so and see how it goes, then adjust from there!

😆😆😆
Omg you are so close to me!!! I go to Whetstone sometimes. Are any of you located in Colorado?
Garret is!
I started board climbing the last two gym visits and its soooo addicting. I dont recommend hang boarding afterwords though haha.

You are damm good at what you do💪🏻 keep it up🔥🔥👌🏻

My personal rating from difficult to easiest: moonboard tension kilter
I thought you are really good at crimping haha, surprised to know that you think the moonboard is the hardest.
As a tall climber who's climbed on all three a fair bit, so far I've found the kilter easiest, tension middle, and moonboard hardest, in terms of the max grades I can accomplish on each.

Where in Colorado is this gym ??
Fort Collins
i think that the problems you chose on the Moon Board were some of the easier ones for the grade. I personally think that tension and moonboard are similar difficulty on average.
Take a shot everytime Geek Climber says nice ;)

ROFL!!! The first 10 seconds in I hear a NICE followed up by the gnar fall
How is your finger injury coming? Did it hurt to be back on a moon board?
I feel 100% recovered now. It’s been 4 long months but I am back!
What angle were. The boards set too in this video?
Some routes are underrated in board apps, today I just got an all-shit-holds(original school holds) route on Moonboard, and just a V3. But I need to say, for moderate climber, training board is very good for enhancing finger power than just go bouldering.

You probably have strong arms/fingers and a weaker core if steeper climbs at the same grade feel harder to you
@@DerButzemann94 I have really strong arms for my level, but quite weak fingers since im still a beginner.
I didnt think my core was the problem til now, but maybe thats what i should focus on more.
Is the tension board probably about getting used to its less friction (wooden holds)? Or are the problems just ridicioulously sandbagged (WTF)?
You can also climb longer on wood holds b/c your skin doesn't get destroyed.

much closer to outdoor ratings than most gym problems. it’s pretty tough
They are usually pretty legit. Especially the benchmark problems on the moonboard (selected by Ben moon) are absolutely comparable to outdoor grades.
Thx ! Could you compare moonboard 2016 vs 2017 vs 2019
I can’t find any comparison online ????
Is the tension board the smallest, too?
But if the climbs are rated at the same grade, one board shouldn't be more difficult than another. If one board has slippy holds and one has grippy holds and they have a similar route and hold design, the one with the slippier holds should be rated as a more difficult climb.
Can someone easily explain what the difference is? They look almost equal all three.
I've climbed on all 3, and I built a Tension Board in my apartment to train on. You can't rely on friction and past the jugs there aren't too many great incut holds. The feet are more slippery too.

Come to Vital in Oceanside and we’ll climb the tension board together. I got V0s down!!!
OMG, there’s a tension board in Oceanside?! I am definitely going to visit Vital in the very near future.
Literally shocked at 3:41
😆😆😆
to be fair he did the easiest v7 on the moonboard....
Garret picked all the climbs this time. Next time I will be the one who picks them haha.
Tension is “the” board. Best for training. Love the moonboard so fun and while the kilter is mostly just soft, has the best power training applications with its intended design of super steep angles. The three of the them make a happy three :)
The amount of dabs in this video omg
3rd
Glad you tuned in so promptly man.
when your gym has to much money to spend and has every e-board :D
I think it's a good investment. These boards draw more customer.
say sumthin for the camera man 😐😐😐😐
Classic short climber saying "i cant reach that hold" without even trying. seen it way too many times. If your a shorter person stop comparing yourself to the lanky guy next to you. I swear they just want to not be able to reach it so bad.
I felt like Rockentry was the kindest dude ever, but now I see him interacting with people he seems like a bit egocentric !
Just had to share that did you? Dickhead
No man, rockentry is one of the coolest dudes I've ever met!
