I really like the idea of the Tension Board. I’d like to make a Short wall (10ft tall x 8ft wide).
I don’t have enough money to buy the holds from Tension, but I do have the skills to carve them from wood and I have free wood.
Anybody seen more details on the holds? I’m looking for more specifics on exact sizes of the holds and angles of cuts.

You may have seen this already and be looking for even more specifics, but if you go to their website under the individual holds all the dimensions are listed for each one.

lol, been scouring their site and totally missed it. This is gold. Been using an online tool that takes a known measurement on a picture and allows you to measure any other line on that picture. Might be able to get some accurate measurements. Thanks guys!!!

Hi Jesse, did you ever get this project rolling? I find myself in the same boat.

Anyone else in this rabbit hole may find that this site is taken down atm, but we can still access it using internet archive: web.archive.org/web/2020120…*/ tensionclimbing.com/individ…
