Mexico’s Gym Industry Is Booming – CBJ Podcast with Javier Díaz
Javier Díaz co-founded a gym, Sierra Elevation, in Mexico with business partner Adrian Hovelman in 2021. Two years later, Sierra Elevation merged with Adamanta, the leading climbing gym chain in Mexico. Packed into that multi-year period was an on-the-ground education for Díaz, as he learned what it took to operate a gym in Mexico, realized the advantages of partnering with a larger entity, and borrowed ideas and concepts from gyms that he had visited in the United States. In this episode of the CBJ podcast, Díaz discusses that backstory, while providing a brief history of Mexico’s gym scene and giving some valuable assessments of Mexico’s climbing gym culture. He also explains why he thinks Mexico’s climbing gym industry is on the cusp of a veritable boom period and about to “go big.”

Climb Insider: speed records and podcasts
Just a few thoughts
Speed climbing got all the hype this week when Sam Watson ran a 4.79 in Wujiang, breaking the world record of 4.85 he had set earlier that same day. Incredible job Sam! From the crags, Access Fund announced their Climbing Advocate Awardees, a group of people who steward our outdoor areas. Buy them a coffee or beer if you see them around.

Danish Gym Continues to Expand, Nears Completion of 9th and 10th Locations
Boulders Denmark
Specs: Boulders, a Danish bouldering gym chain with eight open facilities, is planning to complete two new gyms this summer. Founded in 2009 by Frank Vilstrup and Søren Clausen, Boulders is now owned by Vilstrup, Martin Petersen (since 2014) and Ole Mørk (since 2019).
In 2005, “Boulders started as an ambitious project under the name ‘CPH Blocs,’ with the aim of creating climbing facilities for climbing enthusiasts,” Petersen told CBJ. “They worked to find suitable premises, but committing to the project was a challenging task.” From 2006 to 2009, Vilstrup organized mobile climbing competitions constructed on Abekatten containers for multiple climbing disciplines, from standard climbing comps to deep water soloing. Then, in 2009, the company signed a five-year lease for its first gym, repurposing a former lamp factory. That first gym—formerly called Copenhagen Boulders, but now just Boulders—opened in 2010, followed by the Aarhus Nord facility in 2014 and the Wichmandsgade facility in 2017. “From 2020, we have opened five more gyms, and we are looking at an increased rate of expansion from this point on,” Petersen said. Expansion has always been the goal for Boulders, Petersen explained, but the business previously lacked the finances and organization to expand. “Now we do, and we are stepping on the gas,” he stated. When choosing a new facility, finding a suitable building has been the hardest part for the team, since the requisite building height, size and location can be hard to come by. “If it was easier,” Petersen said, “we would already have a handful more gyms.” Petersen added that the Boulders gyms are designed with sustainability in mind. The climbing walls are built with bamboo panels, for instance, and the team uses products and services from local hardware stores and carpenters. “We also exclusively use green electricity and serve organic drinks and snacks in our cafes,” Petersen continued. All Boulders gyms—planned and open—are bouldering gyms, the bulk of which have workout areas, Kilter Boards, spray walls, children’s areas, and lounge space. “We cater to all stages of a climber’s life, while having a good time in good company,” said Petersen. In November 2023, Boulders opened its eighth gym (Amager Landevej), built in a preexisting facility in Kastrup. The 1,650-square-meter (5,413-square-foot) industrial building features walls reaching 4.5 meters (15 feet) which were built by local carpenters. Boulders’ gym number nine, expected to open early this summer, is being constructed in an existing facility in the center of Aarhus. “We already have a gym very close by, but it was completely packed with people. We would like to capture that market and give everyone a better experience, without too many people,” Petersen said. The Aarhus gym will feature Walltopia walls in an 1,850-square-meter (6,070-square-foot) space, with similar amenities to those found in other Boulders locations, but scaled up to fit the “second biggest [gym] in Denmark,” said Petersen. Later in the summer, Boulders is set to open gym number ten, which is being built in an existing 2,000-square-meter (6,562sqft) facility in the central/western part of Copenhagen. According to Petersen, climbers in the area “need proper climbing facilities!” He noted the team is “constantly asked by people in those area codes” about a new climbing gym, “and now we will deliver.” Petersen added that, with the next two gyms already signed “and a handful more on the way,” the team is “really making progress this year and the next two.” Walls: Owner/Contractor; Walltopia (local carpenters for the Amager Landevej gym; Walltopia for the two Summer 2024 gyms) Flooring: Benky; Walltopia (Benky for the Amager Landevej gym; Walltopia for the two Summer 2024 gyms) CRM Software: “Cannot disclose” Website: boulders.dk In Their Words: “Learn the market. What is it your customers really want? It is probably not the same as you. What angles of climbing wall? What type of routes? What types of memberships? They are funding the adventure and the business, not you. So, give them what they want.” – Martin Petersen, Co-Owner of BouldersThe North Face Unveils Official Sport Climbing Competition Uniforms For Paris Olympic Games
New York, NY – April 16, 2024 – Today, The North Face has unveiled the official sport climbing competition uniforms to be worn by athletes from the U.S., Japan, South Korea and Austria in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Peak performance meets visual storytelling in the design of these uniforms. Each piece was meticulously constructed, pattern making was analyzed with 3D soft-wear, and garments were fit on climbing walls using athletes to achieve premium sport climb competition standards. Throughout the testing and development process, The North Face also worked closely with athletes including Nathaniel Coleman, Melina Costanza, and Nina Williams to ensure the design and construction of the product exceeded expectations.
Visually, The North Face drew inspiration from iconic mountains in each region in designing each uniform – Mount Denali in the U.S., Mount Grossglockner in Austria, Mt. Fuji in Japan and the Hallasan Volcano in South Korea. These mountains are the highest peak in each region, signifying athletes reaching the “highest peak” in their sport.
The uniforms are also marked by an external taping construction that challenges tradition without sacrificing performance. By shifting traditionally internal construction methods to the exterior of the garment, The North Face has created a distraction free, next-to-skin product that simultaneously highlights iconic North Face Climb DNA.
Sport climbing made its debut at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, making this year only the second time the sport has appeared at the Games. As noted on the official Olympics website, sport climbing is a modern sport that has become immensely popular over the past 20 years. There are over 25 million climbers in 150 countries all over the world, and 39% of climbers under 18 years old.
The North Face was founded in 1966 as a climbing store and since then, has maintained its position at the center of the climbing community. Through its support of climbers of all levels – from the pinnacle of competition on the Olympic stage to introducing and inspiring newcomers to the sport – The North Face is the timeless leader within the world of climbing.
In addition to the uniforms designed for The U.S., Japan, South Korea and Austria, The North Face also designed a sport climbing competition kit for France. While French athletes will be wearing different uniforms to fulfill conflicting sponsorship obligations, versions of both the French and United States competition kit will be available for consumers to purchase on July 1st, 2024. The available pieces will include men’s and women’s competition shorts, t-shirts and tank tops, with prices ranging from $80-$145.

Training Board Hold Systems 2024
[Editor’s Note: This article was first published on November 18, 2021, and was updated on April 12, 2024, to reflect changes in the training boards market.]
The modern, standardized training board is an invaluable investment for climbing gyms large and small. By committing only a small fraction of a facility’s footprint for training boards, gym operators open up bottomless climbing options for a huge variety of customers. No routesetting is necessary since all systems come with an app packed with thousands of problems, and the only real maintenance required is cleaning the holds. No longer do private trainers or youth team coaches need to wander the gym to find climbs for their clients’ workouts.
“They create a friendly, or cutthroat, way for people to train together, whether in the same gym at the same time or with partners across the continents,” said Fabrizio Zangrilli, who at one point made use of five different board systems as a gym owner.
The concept of a training board is not new. Practically since the advent of indoor climbing, training aficionados have built “system boards”—often DIY mirrored walls that enable climbers to work on specific goals in a confined space, which are effective complements to a campus board and hangboard. But modern training boards take it to a whole new level, driven largely by technology. Combining LED lights and databases of routes on an app in your pocket―and built on a standardized layout that can be replicated anywhere in the world―the training boards of today can pack a lifetime of climbing into a 10×10-foot space.
With more hold systems being added to the market each year, in this update we further separated the training boards into their various versions in the table below—for example, Tension 1 and Tension 2—and added new players to the roundup.
There are several training board hold systems on the market today in North America. A few others are currently in use in other parts of the world, and it seems many new options are in development publicly and in secret.
In addition to training board hold systems, we cover training board frames in a separate article here, which will soon be receiving an update, as well.
All details above are accurate as of the publishing date. New options may have been added and prices may have changed since then, and new routes are added every day to the apps.
Editor’s Note: Grasshopper, Kilter, Tension and So iLL are financial supporters of CBJ.
MoonBoard
Legendary climber Ben Moon pioneered the training board concept with the release of his original MoonBoard in 2006, which was based on designs he had used since the late 80s. Since then, his namesake board has been installed in thousands of climbing gyms and homewalls all over the planet, and the MoonBoard boasts a huge following and countless beta videos online. Over the years, MoonBoard has released multiple unique hold layouts―2016, 2017, 2019, 2020 (Mini)―with each designed for a 25° or 40° wall and with LED lighting above the holds. The 2016 layout, in particular, is regarded as the first commercial LED board on the market. Most recently, the company released a new 2024 layout as well as four additional hold sets. The holds tend to be small, with the grades starting around V4, which can limit beginners and warm-ups. Moon said the initial idea was to cater to “the needs of a small but dedicated group of climbers who understood that a small, fixed hold training board was an exceptional strength training tool,” and that goal is seen in the designs. MoonBoard was voted Favorite Homewall Board System in CBJ’s 2021 Grip List survey and runner-up in 2022 and 2023. They also proudly give 1% of all sales to environmental charities. “The holds are perhaps the most realistic to outdoor climbing. I think the OG yellow holds do the best job simulating some of the nasty holds you have to grab outside.” ―Eddie Morillas, The Front Climbing Club (all four board systems installed) “The small, deep in-cut holds favor a more powerful and tension-based climbing style.” ―Matt Waits, High Point Climbing & Fitness (three board systems installed) “This board forces the climber to not hesitate and to be very deliberate with their movement. I also like the fact that this board is pretty simple and can fit in pretty small spaces.” ―Ken Klein, formerly at Whetstone Climbing (three board systems installed) Learn more about the MoonBoard at www.moonboard.comTension Board
The folks at Tension introduced the second commercial LED training board on the market in 2017 with their Tension Board 1. It has a mirrored layout like system boards of the past, but with the modern conveniences of LED lights and a route database app, and the Tension Board 1 was also designed for use on adjustable-angle walls. The symmetry has attracted users who wish to target left and right-side movements equally. And by using 100% wooden holds, it’s an eco-friendly choice and regarded as a relatively skin-friendly board for long sessions. In 2022, Tension released the Tension Board 2, a board system that supports adjustable wall angles from 0-65 degrees overhanging and includes wall sizes from 10’Hx8’W to 12’Hx12’W. The TB2 can be installed in a symmetrical (Mirror) and an asymmetrical (Spray) layout, giving users the ability to choose whichever layout they prefer, or switch up the layout later for a fresh feel and database of new climbs. For holds, the TB2 includes a combination of newly designed wooden holds and dual-tex, polyurethane holds that are illuminated from the center of each hold. “The hold diversity of the TB2 allows you to target whatever you want out of your session. Crimps, pinches, powerful and static climbing—it’s all there.” ―Zach Galla, USA Climbing Athlete “The wood holds are friendly on the skin and the symmetry helps identify weaknesses in your climbing. The climbing style leans more toward slower static movement.” ―Matt Waits, High Point Climbing and Fitness “It’s probably the most appropriately named board. You need to keep it tight and have good technique for this one.” ―Eddie Morillas, The Front Climbing Club Learn more about the Tension Board at www.tensionclimbing.comKilter Board
Legendary sculptor Ian Powell brought his deep experience in hold shaping to the training board space with his and Jackie Hueftle’s introduction of the Kilter Board in 2018. Comfortable and varied shapes on an adjustable angle frame have made the Kilter Board a popular choice for entry-level and elite climbers alike. And the unique, full-perimeter LED lights which encircle the holds are designed to help make route sequences easier to follow, on and off the wall. Kilter also introduced the first paired manufactured frame: the freestanding, adjustable Lemur x Kilter frame, designed and engineered in partnership with Lemur Design out of Canada. Though relatively new to the market at the time, the Kilter Board was voted Favorite Board System by routesetters in CBJ’s 2021 Grip List survey and was the runner-up Favorite Homewall System Board. The accolades have been pouring in since then, with the Kilter Board winning both votes in 2022 and 2023. There are over 1,000 Kilter Boards (and counting) installed around the globe, forming a worldwide network of climbers of all abilities and the largest problem database of any training board on the market. “Functional for a wide range of climbing abilities.” ―Abbygael Cancian, Rock Mill Climbing “The large, friendly hold shapes and fully lit hold design are less intimidating for new climbers and is the best way to introduce them to the world of climbing training.” ―Matt Waits, High Point Climbing and Fitness “Accessible to beginners at lower angles.” ―Eddie Morillas, The Front Climbing Club “I feel this is the easiest board to climb on.” ―Ken Klein, formerly at Whetstone Climbing Learn more about the Kilter Board at www.setttercloset.comGrasshopper Board
Boone Speed launched his Grasshopper Board in 2020 during the pandemic, with a layout developed by Josh Larson. The company’s modern, adjustable frames pair with the hold systems for a sophisticated aesthetic. On the marketing front, Grasshopper is the Official Adjustable Training Wall of USA Climbing, and it’s not uncommon to see climbing Olympians training on this system on social media. The mirrored Grasshopper Board was the first board to have some larger slopers and pinches included in the hold layout, and some say the bolt-hole LED lighting option improves on systems that have lights below the holds. In 2022, Grasshopper expanded its board to include optional 2ft panels on each side, yielding a 12×12 layout, adding several large slopers and pinches to the board. With some of the largest training board holds on the market, these large holds on the exterior of the wall allow climbers to avoid constantly hitting and dodging high-profile grips while working on smaller holds in the middle. “Ergonomic grips…I like having larger and slopier holds.” ―Eddie Morillas, The Front Climbing Club “The shapes are fun and interesting, with quite a lot of variety of sidepulls, slopers, pinches and underclings.” ―Kevin Corrigan, Climbing Learn more about the Grasshopper Board at www.grasshopperclimbing.comDecoy Board
In 2022, Decoy founder Dan Yagmin launched the Decoy Board, a symmetrical training board with a variety of holds from signature Decoy hold series, such as the Minimalist, Schist and Rollies. These series provide smooth, rock-like and dual-tex hold options across ten different sets, allowing climbers to expand their board over time. The Decoy Board App offers thousands of climbs at a variety of angles without a kickboard, to simulate outdoor climbing. “It can be suitable for entry-level climbers as well as tame the strongest folks from your local crag.” ―Paul Jung, Director of Routesetting “Being symmetrical has shown me some real weaknesses climbing on different sides. They have the most comfortable holds that are still bad and require tension and technique to climb in.” ―Samuel Gardner, VITAL Manhattan “The decoy board is easy to interact with in a creative capacity, whether you are a professional setter or a community member trying out LED board climbing for the first time.” ―Ewan Bennett, Rock Spot Climbing “It offers a distinct climbing experience that truly translates to outdoor climbing.” ―Lilian Kral, Boardworks Climbing “Its versatility and appeal with our staff and customers has made it a staple for our training areas when looking to build new gyms.” ―Danny Howard, Rock Spot Gyms Learn more about the Decoy Board at decoy-holds.com/pages/decoy-boardWoods Board
The Daniel Woods Light Up Training Board became available in the Winter of 2022, co-designed with Andy Raether, owner of Menagerie/Formik Climbing. With Woods and Raether’s combined climbing and industry experience, the design for the board came together quickly, resulting in a concept that caters to training enthusiasts looking for a hard sesh. The board consists of a densely-packed blend of wooden and dual-tex, plastic holds designed to be “ergonomic, useful and interesting.” The Woods Board app allows users to vie for top ranks on several leaderboards, propose grades, set boulders, and search through problems. “Ultimately, the Woods Board aims to combine the core creative spirit of a spray wall with the symmetrical layout and global network of existing training boards.” ―Austin Beck-Doss, Gear Junkie “The Woods board seems mega. More holds than any other board. It’s made for getting strong. It just seems mega.” ―Josh Aiken, Alpine Climbing Gym “The reason you will want to climb on this board is because it will make you strong…The grips are hard, the moves are heavy, and progression will come.” ―Noah Walker, Gripped Learn more about the Woods Board at menagerieclimb.com/pages/woods-boardAdditional Training Board Hold Systems
The popularity of training board hold systems means inevitably there will be new entrants into the market as time goes on. Below are several other training board hold options; five are complete training board hold systems, and others are hold sets for DIY boards: 12Climb: 12Climb, based in Ukraine, has a 3×4-meter board system with light-up holds and a Bluetooth-connected app that’s intentionally built for climbers of lower grades and comes in two versions: the 12C Board, with grades ranging from 5b to 7c; and the 12C Board School, designed for beginning climbers and young children (4a to 6b route grades). Nectar: Colorado-based Nectar Climbing’s Nectar Board system is a 10×12-foot wall (coming Spring 2024) that rotates and can be adjusted from 5° to 60° angles. The standardized hold set for the board consists of Urban Plastix holds paired with LED lights (coming Fall/Winter 2024). Satellite: The Satellite Board system is distributed worldwide and comes in two sizes: 40° with 304 holds mainly for gyms, and a Mini (30° with 105 holds) for homewalls. So iLL: So iLL is in the beta phase of its So iLL Connect Board system, with the beta version soon being delivered to locations around the world. They also make Systems Holds. Wataaah: Wataaah’s Dojo board system is available in Europe as well as the U.S. and features 210 dual-tex, screw-on holds (105 unique shapes) with a mirrored layout for 20°-45° boards. Atomik: While they don’t make a full board system, Atomik does produce a variety of plastic system holds for DIY board layouts. Beastmaker: Beastmaker has four different wooden training board sets that can be used symmetrically or asymmetrically. The sets are designed to cater to various homewall setups and customer preferences, from wall angle to desired grade range. Metolius: Metolius offers wooden system holds for DIY board layouts, featuring marks on the perimeter every 10° to assist with positioning. Train to Climb: Train to Climb provides a coordination-style wall kit, which uses a symmetrical hold design for practicing a wide range of specific, dynamic movements.More Resources About Training Board Systems

JOB SEEKER TIPS:
How to improve your career through networking strategies By CareerBuilder “Networking strategies are plans and actions that help people meet others and establish relationships within their industries. Networking relationships are often mutually beneficial for all people involved. Even when one professional has more experience, both individuals can let each other know about career opportunities, exchange references and advice, and help each other learn new skills. Networking can also help you develop relationships that last for your career beyond just one job. According to CNBC, about 80% of jobs get filled with help from networking and personal connections.” Read the full article hereLATEST JOB OPENINGS
