MoonBoard

I apologize if this was already addressed in an earlier post (I was not able to find it if there is one), but I am building a woody and was considering using the library of "School Room" problems to base my training around so I do not have to re-invent the route setting wheel.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience using the MoonBoard School Room problems for training and if they could provide any feedback...

I love it, but thats just me.

The problems are hard and will improve your finger strength and body tension for sure.

Appreciate the follow up... there is a ton of set-ups and problem sets. I included a link to their webpage:

moonclimbing.com/moonboard/

Is there any set-up/setter you would recommend for quality to problems and/or a focus on a particular style?

I recently built a woodie, and if I had had the space I would have loved to include a moon board. I love setting problems, but I feel like I'm missing something by not having many problems set by others. It's easy to challenge myself physically by setting big moves or bad holds, but harder to set the kind of "eureka!" problems that become easy once you figure out the right sequence and positioning. I feel like having a moon board would allow for more of that.

If you've got the space, I say go for it.

I LOVE my Moonboard. The Set A and Set B holds are the best holds I've ever trained on. They are a bit rougher in texture than the origional holds which aren't quite as good in my opinion. Build a Moonboard! It is the best home system.

There isn't a particular setter I'd recommend. There are good problems on all setups. Once you have the board setup, you will find a nice variety.

Thax Mike... good beta.

The original hold set includes mostly small edges. Lots of pure edge strength. The newer sets have a lot more variety and are better for more well rounded training. The new sets are very rough, a few passes with a sanding sponge will save your skin.

I wish I had the space to build a Moon Board, hopefully in my future.

Just discovered this! Now I've gotta build one out back!!!!

Thanks Case!

Figured it was best way to go since I do not want to spend half my time agonizing over route setting. There is a huge universe of quality graded problems online. Honestly a pretty tight idea by Moon and Co. to standardize the board so problems could be shared.

Thax Tricycle... that was exactly what I was looking for with my follow up question. Appreciate it guys.

Wow, that is incredibly cool! I'll have to figure out how to get one of those going!
