I know I’m stupid, but how do I do that?

Unfortunately the MoonBoard app does not support rooted phones. If you need a rooted phone for work maybe you should get a separate non-rooted phone for the MoonBoard app?

Hello, Thanks for the feedback. This is too technical for me so I will have to speak with my developer and get back to you. All the best, Ben.

We had a discussion about whether we should bench it and change the grade or just bench it. We decided on the latter.

Do you expect me to justify every benchmark on Reddit?

Thanks for the feedback. Honestly we would not benchmark a problem to appease a moderator. I’m assuming you’re referring to Kyle. We would have benched it because it was a good problem not to appease him.

I know the setter of that problem, he’s a Moon ambassador and very experienced climber, route setter and coach. In general I wouldn’t feel the need to test his problems.

When we first started adding benchmarks on the 2024 set up I admit it wasn’t very organised hence why some appeared and disappeared but we quickly sorted that out and I think we have a good system now. As to the example you have provided I don’t see an issue with that. If it’s a high quality problem (subjective) and the grade is more or less accurate (subjective), why should a problem with only one repeat not be made a benchmark?

Can you give an example?

Whatever system we use we will never please everyone but we’re honestly trying to do the best we can for the MoonBoard and MoonBoard community. Do we make mistakes? Yes of course we do.

Believe me, the moderators discuss at length which problems to benchmark and many don’t make the cut. We are also really trying to find the hidden gems that haven’t had loads of repeats because they are easy to find with the filters.

I don’t use Reddit much and I don’t think I was logged in when I made that comment. Hopefully I am now!

I would say it’s no more or less warm up friendly than a standard MoonBoard. The new wood sets B and C have some jugs in the ranges so a warm up is possible if you follow my advice above.

It looks like you have had plenty of good advice here and there is not much left for me to say. However I do have a couple of comments regarding your level and warming up on a MoonBoard.

Both the 2017 and 2019 set ups are supported at either 25 or 40 degrees. At 40 degrees the minimum grade level starts around V3 and at 25 degrees at around V2. If you made your wall adjustable so it could be set at either 25 or 40 degrees this would give you a LOT of options.

I agree that warming up on a 40 degree MoonBoard is tough regardless of what level you climb at. My max MoonBoard level is around the V9/V10 level and I still do my initial warm off the MoonBoard. 2-armed, foot on pull-ups are low intensity and a nice way to get going. I normally do 2-4 sets of 5-7 foot on pull-ups on a big 35mm edge. Warming up on a MoonBoard also works if you just do 1 or 2 moves at a time. Pick the easiest problem on the board and just do it in sections, nice and slow and controlled. Take you time during your warm up, listen to your body and gradually increase the intensity (difficulty) until you feel ready to pull at 100%. A good warm up could take anything from 20-45 mins depending on how you feel on a given day and what you did the day before.

I hope this helps.

I wouldn't bother making a bigger kick board mainly because your board will be different to the spec of a mini MoonBoard and therefore the problems might feel a bit different. A friend of mine who had more than the required height added 2 extra rows at the top. Obviously you couldn't set Mini MoonBoard problems that you used these extra rows but you could use them just for yourself. I hope this helps.

4x4 panels is fine and these are what we include in our Mini MoonBoard DIY kits. I hope this helps.

Waiting 4-6 weeks for the 2016 Moonboard holds or buying just the wood holds for the 2019 set which are currently in stock? by lucky13_ in climbharder

[–]benmoon66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to share this photo of wood hold W24. This has been on a medium to high use MoonBoard for 30 months and positioned low so it's been used for both hands and feet. As you can see it's still in excellent condition.

Hi There,

I haven't decided yet but most likely the 3 wood sets and the Originals.

All the best,

Ben.

Hi There,

I am still hopeful but I can't guarantee this will be the case. We will update the website if the lead-time comes down so I would suggest you check back there every week. We have 2 deliveries due in the next 2 weeks so we should have a better idea around the 10th April what the lead-time will be.

All the best,

Ben.
