The Lab

For years, climbers envisioned a place where dedication to the sport, innovation in training, and the respect for climbing come together. The Lab isn’t an idea anymore. It’s here. We’ve created an exclusive environment built for the serious climber. It’s not just about climbing—it’s about elevating your skills, your community, and yourself.

Training Boards Built to Perform

At The Lab, we don’t mess around when it comes to training. Our 12x12 adjustable boards—two Tension Board 2s (Mirror and Spray), the Decoy, and the Grasshopper— and our two Moonboards (2016 and 2024 sets) were chosen for their ability to meet the needs of climbers who are serious about improvement. Whether you’re working on precision, balance, creativity, or adaptability, these boards offer exactly what you need to refine your skills and push your limits. Then there’s The Spray—a massive spray wall designed with input from professional climbers and industry leaders. It’s not just another spray wall; it’s one of the best in the state. Bold claim? Sure. But when you see it, you’ll understand why we’re confident. We also provide campus boards and hangboards equipped with weights, offering climbers the tools they need to develop strength, power, and technique. These staples of serious training round out The Lab’s lineup, giving you everything required to train with purpose. And maybe a little fun along the way.

INTRODUCING “The Spray”

The Spray isn’t for casual laps—it’s for climbers who show up ready to work. It’s a wall that challenges you and reminds you why training matters.

To bring The Spray to life, we partnered with DreamWall, a team known for their expertise and dedication to quality. Their vision aligned perfectly with ours: creating a space where climbers committed to serious training can push their limits alongside like-minded individuals.

The Spray was designed with insight from industry leaders to deliver a training experience that stands out. No distractions, no gimmicks—just a wall that demands focus, effort, and intention. If you’re serious about your climbing, The Spray will keep you honest.

The Tension Board 2 Mirror is for climbers who like to keep things balanced—literally. Its symmetrical design helps address imbalances by forcing both sides of your body to pull their weight. We’ve seen climbers benefit from this no-nonsense approach, refining movement and building strength where it’s needed most.

At The Lab, we chose the TB2 Mirror because it does its job well: no frills, just smart training that works. Plus, it’s a great way to make sure your left side doesn’t embarrass your right side on the wall.

The Tension Board 2 Spray is where creativity meets practicality. It’s essentially a spray wall with a little more structure, offering climbers the flexibility to experiment while still keeping progress measurable. Climbers love how it keeps training fresh without veering into chaos.

We brought the TB2 Spray to The Lab because it’s as versatile as it is reliable. Whether you’re dialing in technique or testing wild new ideas, it’s the kind of board that can keep up—and keep you coming back.

The Decoy Board adds a layer of creativity to climbing sessions. Its thoughtfully designed hold setups encourage climbers to think differently and adapt to fresh challenges. It’s a favorite for breaking out of routine and exploring new movement possibilities.

At The Lab, we brought in the Decoy because it fits seamlessly into our training lineup—a board that challenges climbers while keeping the experience fresh and engaging.

The Grasshopper Board is all about precision and variety. Known for its thoughtful hold design and seamless transitions between problems, it challenges climbers to refine their technique while exploring new styles of movement. Climbers appreciate how it strikes a balance between structure and creativity, making every session productive and engaging.

At The Lab, we brought in the Grasshopper because it delivers consistent quality in a way that keeps climbers coming back. It’s reliable, versatile, and just the right amount of unexpected—perfect for serious training.

The MoonBoard is a classic that’s stood the test of time. With both the 2016 and 2024 hold sets, it delivers a wide range of thoughtfully designed problems that challenge strength, technique, and problem-solving. It’s known for pushing climbers to their limits and keeping sessions focused and purposeful.

We chose the MoonBoard because it’s reliable, versatile, and demands precision. It’s a no-nonsense tool for climbers who want to measure progress and tackle iconic problems known around the world.
