Seems like this video was made quite some time ago because the 11 and 12 January 2025 this Quantum Board was available in "Le Salon de l'Escalade" in Paris, France (a climbing show) and it was available for everyone to climb on it. I've seen some pro athletes climbing on it and some more regular climbers, side by side on this MASSIVE board and it was quite nice ! The prices were "early birds" but for example, frame & panels cost usually 22k and it was 15k in the show. Of course it's not for regular people (or maybe for incredibly rich climbers lol) but making it possible for 4 people to climb on it and on the edges of the wall make it really interesting and I was shocked with the holds variety ! Definitely something that looks very great but in France we don't have a "board" culture even if Kilterboards are popping more and more here and there. For example, in Paris, there's only 2 boards, a Tension Board 1 that is really hidden and a Kilterboard that is incredibly crowded. And both boards are from the same gym owners (in different part of the city tho). We also don't have much spraywalls, only 3 in Paris...
The commercial setting is really good though, loads of cool comp climbs and slabs. The tension board 1 is the worst board I've climbed on (not just because it's super sandbagged). On the other hand in the uk we have loads of boards (kilter/moon + woody in every gym basically), but most gyms especially in rural areas have only boring crimp lines. Need the best of both worlds
Always great energy from Stefano :) Board looks super interesting as well, some really cool "upgrades". Just a little disappointed that he didn't do 60 8a Boulders in an hour 😈
I like the idea that it also put holds on the side of the board, really close to outdoor bouldering scenario! Imagine 10 yrs later Stefano in another video standing by a 5*5*5m floating box with 3000 holds on it: "so this is Jupiter Cube, and I just set and finished the first v35 on it, feels good..."🤣🤣
Tension Board, months of trial and error refining the set to be the ideal board, developing new conceptual modela for laying out the board, making sure it works at different crops. This board, 3 days hanging out with Stefano. Don't get me wrong the holds and system look great, multiplayer mode is amazing. But the setting on this is just not that carefully considered for a board that won't change for years.
So awesome. Will probably become the new standard. Can u make a board that is symmetrical board with heel/ toe hook and pockets etc.. ? With wood too? That board would be ultimate! Can't wait to climb on this walltopia board!
I guess the board is HUGE, plus tiltable, and I'd hope a proper app that works with how you set it? The XL pricing seems to be 22k frame/panels + 19K holds + 4K LED = 45K euro, excluding shipping or building. Yeah, that's maybe for a gym, not something you spend on a homeboard :)
Looks like the worst, more commercial board yet. Crazy expensive, density of holds is really low, even more jugs than the Kilter. Looks like rather few possibilities, I think this gets boring rather quickly for high level climbers.
Nah, I climb in the gym from the video - the new board is actually harder than the kilter and has A LOT LESS jugs. These new holds have some weird ability to appear like good holds and then you hold them and they are quite bad. And that's while they are still new, I can't even imagine how hard they will get once they become greasy
The rows and columns are roughly the same amount as the kilter board 12x12. If you look closely though you can see plenty of gaps at the bolt holes even in the top rows(meaning less ACTUAL holds). Also the bolt holes do not form uniform rectangular grid but rather diamond shaped (neighboring columns are offset). Adding to this is the fact, that two people set the holds in no preplanned manner can give you idea of how well thought the hold layout is. In some occasions with bigger holds they cover the neighbouring bolt hole making it obsolete😀😀 And lastly you get to the app, which is used in a beta testing fashion in the gym from the video and noone is happy from that fact😀😀 In conclusion I'd say it's fancy spray wall but lacked enough brainstorming while it was developed.
I like the "multiplayer mode". Being able to climb at different levels at the same time with a group without switching the routes is a cool idea!
Yes but I wonder what happens if 2 of the routes share the same hold
@elremito lol I literally came to the comment section to comment this
@@elremito Just flashing between the two... maybe :)
Even in this short video I've seen moves on this board I've not seen on other boards before, looks really cool
This really feels like the next era of board climbing, you love to see it! Such a cool project to collab on!
Love the pockets on a board

Only 5 boards total in a city as big as Paris is crazy
@@krakenattackin7617 fr that’s insane i think there are 16 boards in salt lake soon to be 17

I think it's partly because outdoor climbers in Paris don't bother with much gym climbing, they just go to font
@@Asdfghjkl-ls1or TB1 > all moon and kilter

I really like the arete holds. That is unique amongst the boards!

2:40 “bad crimp, hard, which yeah I like it”
‘Oooooooh I like crimps’ I second that Stefano
I tried the board in paris and it was real fun, had a good time with a 7c you set with a lot of pockets

Love the extra height!
Is there a color differentiation for the starting holds or for the feet?
New board new board new board 🔥🔥🔥
"I've put that two fingers pocket as a top, I'm a bit stupid" 🤣🤣
mitico Stefano!
Grande ste! Molto bello!
Facci avere tue notizie da Margalef!
Is it from the same company that did the Kilter?
no
What's up with the weird noises while climbing Stefano, new tactic to climb harder? 😆
35k USD lol
Prety chip, that's like 2-3 monthly salary.
How much is the other options (kilter and Moon) ?

Believe the market is for Other gyms to buy, rather for consumers to purchase
@@chaozzahactually 23k for holds, electronics and access to the software is pretty alright, especially with the amount of holds on there.
Muros primermundistas haha

Actually absurdly worst take, looks like the best board yet!

@@Pandamon1um_agreed. Tension Board 2 took months if not years to get the layout just right.
