Campus board

One consideration for selecting the angle of inclination is the avoidance of any interference that may result between the user's legs and the campus board or wall.

As another example, upper-body strength may be increased by utilizing large lunges between specific rails or holds of the campus board ("power throws").

Reactive training may be used to increase muscle recruitment rates by dynamically moving between the campus board rails simultaneously with one or both hands.

[4] Early adopters of the campus board included British climbers Jerry Moffatt and Ben Moon, who trained with Gullich and his climbing partner Kurt Albert, at their German gym.

[8] Moon created earlier versions from wood in the late 1980s and 1990s, which he built with British climber Andy Pollitt as rudimentary indoor extreme training climbing walls that could fit into the basement of their house in Sheffield.
