      @SimonLeClercClimbs Sending one single climb doesn't necessarily mean anything and it certainly doesn't mean that you've suddenly "become a better climber". Plus, unless it's outdoors or at least a Moonboard Benchmark or TB Classic, the grade is even more meaningless. Maybe it was just soft as fuck.

    I use TB2 a lot and some Kilter and I think they are both easier than moon. I rarely climb on moon so that could be why it feels harder, but my experience personally is that Kilter gets hard (meaning I’m max projecting) for me around V9/10, TB2 gets hard around V8/9, and moon feels hard at V6 :)

    I don't moonboard much but when I do, I usually climb the same grades on the moonboard as I do in my gym. Which is why I feel like climbing gym sets or on the spray wall is more beneficial for me right now because the type of strength that moonboarding trains is not what is holding me back right now. So I'd say it really depends to what type of climber you are and if you have access to a spray wall thats going to be way more varied and generally better than the moonboard.

    I boulder in a lead climbing gym so our boulder room is quite small. But we do have a 35 Degree Spray wall that i like to use. Most boulders are marked V3/V4 by the creator. Cant really believe it sometimes because damn there are some hard moves

    I've only climbed on a moon board a couple times and found even the easiest benchmark climbs quite hard, since then I've changed gyms and have been using a kilter board a lot and find it much more beginner friendly and I like that you can change the angle on it

  • @scaldingbutter7769
    @scaldingbutter7769 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    as a newer climber I actually started on the moonboard! I only started there because no one was there and the bouldering walls were very cramped the first day I climbed. I have very little experience in calisthenics so it was an extremely hard learning curve, and also figuring out how the board even works was very difficult, but it definitely Kickstart my climbing journey. I only started around 5 months ago and I'm already completing V5s/V6s. I've been projecting a few V7s but have yet to complete any. I still moonboard every week but I have been doing it less. I highly recommend training with the moonboard and sometimes even doing warmup on V2 or V3 courses on the moonboard

  • @saureeeegogo
    @saureeeegogo 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I'd say if you manage to climb the easiest benchmarks on moonboard (v3-v4 depends on the set), you should include board climbing in your training. That's if you want to become stronger of course. Nowadays many indoor climbers enjoy mostly slabs and verticals, in that scenario such overhang training isn't probably the best way to use your time.

  • @conkerconquerer9762
    @conkerconquerer9762 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    As an 8a/V11 boarder and pretty highly ranked (6th in the UK currently on the 2019 set), moonboard is hard as fuck, unless you climb on it pretty frequently it feels really hard, i almost say its its own style of climbing because even if i take a couple weeks off itll take a couple weeks of getting my arsed kicked till im sending project grades again. That being said I feel its one of the best ways to get mega strong, I climbed V10 in about a year and a half of climbing and I mostly attribute that to just persevering through the strugglefest, however unless you have a base level of finger strength its probably not a good idea to do super hard projects because its definitely one of the training styles which is most likely to end in injury.
