Campus board

A campus board is a training tool used by rock climbers to improve their finger strength, contact power, and overall climbing technique. It consists of a series of horizontal wooden or plastic rungs mounted on a wall, with no additional holds or footholds. Climbers use their hands to pull themselves up from rung to rung, often performing dynamic or controlled movements. The campus board allows for targeted finger and upper body training, especially useful for advanced climbers working on powerful, explosive moves or lock-offs. Proper technique and progression are essential to avoid injury while training on a campus board.
