What is the Kilter Board?
The Kilter Board is an interactive indoor climbing training board that uses LED-lit holds and a mobile app that allows climbers to create and follow climbs.
When you select a climb in the Kilter Board App, climbers can:
- Choose a climb from thousands of problems in the app
- Easily follow climbs as holds light up on the wall to show the route
- Climb, log your send, and track progress
- Customize the angle to target training at specific angles (adjustability depends on your gym’s Kilter Board setup)
- Build strength, power, and technique
The wall is covered with a variety of holds which prioritize comfort and allow you to train open hand holds, in-cuts, pinches, crimps, and slopers. Each hold has built-in LED lights that illuminate the edge of the hold. The Original Layout Kilter Board offers various board sizes ranging from 7×10 to 16×12.
Check with your local CRG to see which Kilter Board design and size is available there.
