This is an interactive world map of climbing training
boards — the standardised, app-controlled bouldering walls
used for strength training and shared benchmark problems. It plots
more than 2,700 venues across ten board systems: the
Kilter Board, Tension Board and
MoonBoard, plus Grasshopper, Decoy, So iLL,
Touchstone, Aurora, 12climb and Quantum Board. Most are commercial climbing gyms;
some are home or garage setups whose owner chose to list the location
publicly.
The map currently plots 2,874 venues
across ten board systems in 85 countries.
Counts per system (a gym with two boards is counted once per system):
| Board system | Venues |
|---|
| MoonBoard | 1,546 |
| Kilter Board | 1,158 |
| Tension Board | 375 |
| Grasshopper | 42 |
| Decoy | 24 |
| So iLL | 12 |
| Quantum Board | 12 |
| 12climb | 7 |
| Touchstone | 5 |
| Aurora | 3 |
| Distinct venues | 2,874 |
1,836 of them link to a manually verified official website.
1,351 also list opening hours as published by the venue itself.
Public holidays and short-notice changes may differ — the venue's own page is the authority.

How to use the map
- Search by gym name, city or country to jump straight to a venue.
- Filter by board type to show only the systems you climb on.
- Narrow it down: filter Kilter venues by wall layout, angle and size; filter MoonBoard venues by setup year (2016, 2017 / 2019 Masters, 2024, Mini, School Room), commercial vs. home, and LED vs. non-LED.
- Filter by country to check coverage in a specific region.
- "Boards in view" lists every venue currently on screen — click an entry to jump straight to it.
- Click any marker for that venue's boards, wall details, its official website and opening hours where those have been verified, and a link to open the spot in OpenStreetMap.
Your map position and filter choices are saved in your browser, so reloading the page returns you to the same view.
Board systems on the map
The Kilter Board and Tension Board —
along with Grasshopper, Decoy, So iLL, Touchstone and Aurora — run on
the Aurora Climbing system: an LED-lit, usually angle-adjustable wall
where an app lights up the holds for each problem. The
MoonBoard is a separate standard — a fixed grid of
holds at a set angle (commonly 40°) with its own app and worldwide
benchmark problems. Its hardware generations (2016, 2017 Masters, 2019
Masters, 2024, Mini and School Room) are not interchangeable, which is
why the map lets you filter MoonBoard venues by variant. The app itself drives five of these MoonBoard configurations — 2016, Masters 2017, Masters 2019, Mini 2020 and 2024 — while the map also surfaces other owner-tagged setups such as School Room. Coverage is
most complete for the Kilter Board and MoonBoard; the smaller systems
list only their few publicly-registered walls.
The free, open-source CruxCoach Android app drives seven
of these systems directly — browse the catalogue and light up the holds
over Bluetooth on the Kilter Board,
MoonBoard,
Tension, Grasshopper,
Decoy, So iLL and Touchstone. Aurora, 12climb and Quantum appear on this map as
location-only layers.
Data sources
-
hangtime-climbing-boards
— a daily-updated, public-domain GeoJSON dataset of Aurora-system
boards (Kilter, Tension, Grasshopper, Decoy, So iLL, Touchstone,
Aurora) plus MoonBoard and 12climb.
-
Quantum Board locations are a manually reviewed allowlist. Every entry needs a public
primary source from the venue or manufacturer, a full address and valid coordinates;
private and test records from eWalls are excluded.
-
Some reviewed Japanese address points are derived from the 2025
Block-level Location Reference Information
published by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

Privacy implications are described on the privacy page.

The upstream dataset is re-pulled daily and the snapshot committed, on

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find a Kilter Board or MoonBoard near me?
- Use the search box to jump to a gym, city or country, or zoom the map to your area and switch off the board types you do not climb on. The "Boards in view" list then names every matching venue currently on screen.
- What is the difference between the Kilter Board, Tension Board and MoonBoard?
- The Kilter and Tension boards use the Aurora Climbing system: LED-lit holds and, usually, an adjustable wall angle. The MoonBoard uses a fixed grid of holds at a set angle with its own app and benchmark problems. The systems are not compatible — a problem set on one will not transfer to another.
- Why is my local gym's board missing from the map?
- The map shows public upstream listings plus curated MoonBoard and Quantum Board supplements backed by official venue or manufacturer pages. Private, hidden and unverified records are excluded.
- How accurate are the board locations and details?
- Coordinates and board metadata come from the public dataset, with a small set of hand-verified corrections such as MoonBoard hardware year. Details like wall angle reflect what owners submitted and can lag behind real-world changes.
- Where do the opening hours on the map come from?
- From the venue's own official website. Each schedule was read off the operator's page by hand, with the exact page recorded, and is shown as the venue published it. Nothing is taken from listings, reviews or OpenStreetMap, and the map never calculates whether a venue is open right now — public holidays and short-notice changes may differ, so the venue's page is the authority. Where a site publishes a season-dependent week, contradicts itself, or opens only by arrangement, no hours are shown at all.
- Is the climbing board map free to use?
- Yes. The map is part of CruxCoach, an open-source, ad-free project. It needs no account and costs nothing to use.
