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 nine board systems: the
Kilter Board, Tension Board and
MoonBoard, plus Grasshopper, Decoy, So iLL,
Touchstone, Aurora and 12climb. Most are commercial climbing gyms;
some are home or garage setups whose owner chose to list the location
publicly.
How to use the map
- 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 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. Coverage is
most complete for the Kilter Board and MoonBoard; the smaller systems
list only their few publicly-registered walls.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find a Kilter Board or MoonBoard near me?
- 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 only shows boards that an owner has publicly listed in the upstream data feed. If a venue never registered its board, or marked it private, it will not appear. The dataset is refreshed daily as more listings are added.
- 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.
- 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.
