Campus Board

A campus board is a training tool used in bouldering. It consists of a series of wooden rungs mounted on a vertical or inclined board. Climbers use it to build finger strength, power, and coordination by ascending and descending the rungs without using their feet. This tool is essential for improving dynamic movements and grip strength critical for advanced bouldering problems.

Examples

Sarah steps into the training area and approaches the campus board. She grips the small wooden rungs, starts at the lowest one, and pulls herself up without using her feet. Mark practices power and speed by moving quickly between the highest rungs he can reach, aiming to improve his dynamic strength. Emily uses the campus board to train for finger strength, moving methodically and carefully between rungs to ensure she engages every muscle in her hands and arms. Tom challenges his endurance by attempting multiple sets on the campus board with shorter rest periods in between, pushing his limits further each session.
