what should i do if i dont have a moon board or tension board?

General Climbing · 2 Answers · Write an answer

Try to find the next best thing that you do have. Do you have a spray wall? If not, do you have an overhanging wall that you can make up boulders on using the existing holds?

Otherwise, I would just make up boulders anywhere in the gym and try to make them system-board-like.
