Description:
The Board Project is a means to simplify climbing and the training surrounding the sport. 10 years ago system boards entered the market. System boards are approximately 8 foot by 10 foot boards with climbing holds on them. The holds light up and you can change them through an app to the difficulty you would like. Climbers can even make up their own climbs. in an 80 square foot 2D vertical area you can have infinite climbs. A normal gym is upwards of 8,000 square feet, while two system board would only require 800 square feet (10% the size). Insurance is also significantly cheaper because of the space and no height/injury risk. There is currently no system board in St. Louis City.
