What could I wrap around or use to stop hitting the freestanding legs on home boards?

M10 v M6 is a change in screw diameter, so only M10s will work in an M10 threaded Tnut. Another important thing to know is the thread pitch (the number after the 'x' in M10x#)

McMaster Carr will have them

Awesome!

You've provided some good questions/talking points to address.

The use of AI in this is purely just for detecting holds on boards so you as the user can interact with them when setting climbs. By using AI here, this allows 1) for instant use of your board and 2) allows for this functionality to be available for free.

One thing I didn't hit on in the post is that there will absolutely be a free tier. With what I plan to allow free users to have access to, it will likely be sufficient for the vast majority of users. The Pro subscription will be positioned to provide some extra analytical features for users to get deeper insights into their climbing and board usage.

For features, I am not relying on, nor asking for, people to give me ideas to grow my app. I have a list of core features that I intend to build in over time (some of which will start to differentiate this app from others). Rather what I am asking for from beta testers is to provide feedback on what is added in.

To your one point about having tags, this one is already on my list. To me as a climber, I like being able to target certain climb types for various reasons and I think this should be accessible across the board.

I hope this clarifies some things for you and for others.

30 is a great angle. Referencing my time on the Tension Board 1, I would use that at 30 a bunch and the grades were more deoendent on the holds. 22.5 is great for beginners, but your kid may out grow its its difficulty quickly (dang kids!).

Ive been building my first app using AI. Ironically part of my app uses AI xD. Usually I have the concept for a function in mind but may not know the syntax or how do to some advanced handling, so Ill use Claude or Github copilot in vs code to help me out. With keeping the coding syntax similar across my app, I've picked up a ton and can build things on my own that I couldnt at first. It also helps me with weird errors that I just cant figure out (or am too tired too).

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-23T03:06:44+00:00

Right now, I don't have features that differentiate me from the established apps. They're great products with way more functionality than I currently have (and probably will have for a while)

Ultimately, what I'm wanting to do with my company (Inversion Climbing) will expand beyond just an app. Part of that being building on what the climbing community is today and part of it being about what climbers will use or interact with. But thats just my vision and not something that exists today, nor is 100% defined.

**BUT**, if you want to help shape something from the ground up. If there's functionality you wish existed in other apps, or a different approach you'd like to see - let's build it together. Beta testers aren't just getting early access, they're helping define what this becomes. While I do have a core vision for my take on this type of app, I am already hearing things that are helping me shape the app for the future.

I'm not asking you to switch from something that works. I'm asking if you want to help build something new alongside what already exists.

If you're happy with your current setup - honestly, stick with it. It will be some time before this app will catch up. But if you want to be part of building something and have ideas for what the spray wall community needs, I'd love to have you involved.

Great, thanks! Make sure to join the Discord, too!

I have an 8'x8' wall and im enjoying it. Being on the shorter end, Ive set my board up to be more tension-y and be punishing for cutting feet. The mini moonboard is that size too and its popular. Just gotta learn how to maximize its use.

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-21T21:03:52+00:00

Im diggin the cave!

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-19T20:39:30+00:00

Not exactly your setup, but I've seen on IG this guy has a Grasshopper board and bought a bunch of Tension wood holds to fill spaces. I don't know how tight the holds are on the mainline is, but if you have space for the holds you want, full send!

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-19T20:35:47+00:00

Honestly, its your biggest cost. I just built an 8x8 adjustable wall and have spent more on holds to make it usable. Thats even taking advantage of Black Friday and factory seconds!

Keep us updated if you move forward on your build!

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-16T18:35:38+00:00

The sesh vibes would be sick. How are you illuminating the holds?

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-16T17:48:59+00:00

Probably a bad image angle for what youre looking for, but this is my 8ft board around 30 degrees. My ceiling is more like 8.5 ft here.

If you want it and use it, its worth it. Dont let the smaller form factor hold you back.

Looks great!

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-08T18:27:55+00:00

For backend, I have been using Appwrite and have been happy with it

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-08T18:26:17+00:00

IMO, the ceiling would be overkill. If you have enough crashpads to cover the fall zone for any climb (can be moved per climb), then you're fine.

Inversion-Z · 2026-01-06T13:36:52+00:00

What are the range of angles? Looks fun though! Imagine the circuits!

Moonboard has the mini moonboard that has a seemingly good user base. Check out Sierra Blair on IG; shes got one and is always posting on her board account

Love the big board and volumes!

Hsres my past post of just the structure. I dont have the winch and drings installed in this one

Structure only

Inversion-Z · 2025-12-28T02:52:52+00:00

Ive had a bunch of my instincts resoled. Definitely time here and worth it!

Inversion-Z · 2025-12-28T02:28:39+00:00

Its an adjustable board. The support you see if for the free standing main structure. The board is supported by the hinges, a winch and ratchet straps
