What’s the hardest sport climb you have done outside? What’s the hardest moon board problem and grade on the 2016?
I’ve climbed some hard v4s like Divestment plan, Viva, Warm up #10, no foot and climbed 7B outside
Hi! Just curious about how the people here who climb and work out structure their training.
My current schedule looks like this: Mon & Thur: MoonBoard + calisthenics Wed or Sat: Commercial bouldering gym
For context, I’m currently a V4–V5 gym climber. I got a Mini MoonBoard this April and have recently started sending a few V3s. I can do 3×5 pull-ups, assisted dips, push-ups, and squats. I also try to rest 2–3 days a week to avoid injury, but I’m having trouble figuring out the best schedule.
My main goal is to improve my climbing and build stronger fingers, so I think the MoonBoard is the way to go. At the same time, I’d also like to improve my physique. I eat around 1900 calories with 130-150g protein
How do you all structure your week?
Weight: 70 kg (154 lb) Height: 160 cm (5’3”) Age: 29M, if that helps!
Thanks in advance!
I’ve seen a lot of hate on this sub lately about the new app update. While I get the frustration, it’s actually working great on my phone. The persistent bugs and lag from the previous version are gone, and the UI feels way more responsive.
I did have the same login issue at first where the app wouldn't start up. If you're stuck there, just clear the app data. It completely fixed it for me.
If you are also android user:
Long-press app icon -> Tap the app info "i" -> Storage -> Clear data
Hello! I bought a 2020 mini back in 2020 with the old controller. I am trying to build a full moonboard and just purchased two additional light strands as support told me to just buy two strands and plug and play. I connected the new light strands at the end of the A1 strand and put the original last light strand as the current last light strand.
The middle two strands will not light up but the first and last do so I assume they need supplemental power going to them? Picture attached of how the box is currently wired - I could not find a resource for the old controller.
Any thoughts if I can make this work or if I need to order a new controller? Moon support is not responding. Thanks!
hey, what's going on with the new Moonboard app? Since the new update my LED control no longer works properly. The wrong LEDs are always activated when I select a problem. If I control the LEDs in hold setup mode, they all work. Everything works perfectly via Boardsesh. Everything works on the old smartphone with the old app. Does anyone have this problem too? I completely uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, but nothing changes the problem.
My new program keeps on giving.
I have only sent one 7A+ before and it was a year ago, but super duper soft. Ply Pinches.
This one felt proper.
Next sesh Last Question is also gonna go down. So pyched.
EDIT:
Someone asked what the program is, so I paste this here if anybody’s interested:
I started climbing in October 2023 and moonboarding May 2024 (first 40° send)
Since then I felt progress up until let’s say six months ago. Then I got injured, but also realized my sessions were never predictable.
Meaning, I always showed up wanting to crush, but rarely actually had the juice to give. Then once a month I’d have this amazing session, which I never knew to say why it was THAT specific day, and it would be followed by another 4 weeks of mediocre performance. In the “good sessions” I would end up sending 6C+ benchmarks, and once in a full moon a 7A (just 3 ever sent until I changed my routine).
And then I stumbled across Charlie Schreiber and his guide lines.
I follow two principles:
So my week looks like this:
- Day 1 / Super light kilter session - anything I can flash with ease, working on movement and flow. Effort 3/10
- Day 2 / Rest day
- Day 3 / Submaximal Moonboard sesh - anything I can send up to 2 tries. Maybe 3 if I did a dumb mistake. Effort 5/10
- Day 4 / Rest Day
- Day 5 / Rest Day
- Day 6 / Limit moonboard session
- Day 7 / Rest Day
I’ve been by now through 5 limit session days (so a month and a half or so) and the outcome is undeniable!
Every limit sesh I have showed up to - the juice was there and I climbed harder than I ever could.
I have sent 5x 7A’s since, 3 of them in one session - two of those I flashed and the third one only missed the flash attempt cause went first move with the wrong hand. So technically not a flash, but.. you know
The secret sauce of this whole thing is the management of accumulated fatigue. I used to always go until I can’t grab anything anymore. Some of it came from the frustration of wanting to show up strong, then not, so then just chasing dopamine (climbing as much as I could to compensate the unpredictable poor performance) until I had no skin.
This takes (I’m 38yo) time to recover from, even if my muscles felt good on a given day cause I rested two days in a row, my CNS was constantly fried. I completely didn’t know it.
Now, for example - I take wins and go home. That session I sent 3x 7A’s basically flashed?
Think about it - I barely climbed really.
But after the third send I said to myself you know what? I’m done. This is a huge session, I’m taking it and I’m going to do a work out now. Not chasing another 7A. Next Monday.
I hope that makessense.
It’s just so much easier, for me, to handle myself that way. I don’t feel the pressure to climb hard every session cause I know there is a designated day for it, and I know I WILL CLIMB HARD on that day. So it’s all good.
So then today I have sent a 7A+, and climbed another one two moves shy of flashing it. Worked on the top part a bit, gave it a few goes, and called it.
But this is huge for me. Before this change - 7A+ benchmarks felt IMPOSSIBLE. And now it’s like, yeah. It’s all there. I can project them and I will send them.
I, 34(F), have a 2016 moonboard in my garage. I am 5’3”. I am primarily a sport climber but usually boulder and lift during the week. My work/childcare schedule requires me to use our moonboard at least once a week. We’ve had it for a few years and feel like I’ve barely made progress. I’ve sent several V4 benchmarks and the occasional V5. When we first bought it I could barely get to the top of the board, so I have improved. But it’s hard to enjoy it when I feel like the progress is so slow. Any tips other than just keep trying?
Am i the only one experience constant issue with the app lately?!
I wasnt able to use the app for a week now. I resort to Boardsesh but they dont label Benchmarks and they dont support the minis.
Are you guys having issues as well or just me?
What features would you like to get back or added to the app? I’ll start:
- contact list
- ranking per country, I mean, what is this general overview mess right now?
I’m confused what functionality this would even bring. They deleted out all the commercial and home gym moonboards. Really disappointed in with the current state of the app.
Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boardsesh.app&hl=en\_AU
Boardsesh 2.0 is a full native rebuild. The whole app is rewritten, so it's fast where it used to lag. Lists scroll smooth, search is instant.
The Android and iOS now have their own platform specific look & feel.
Too many features to list, the app store listings has a release notes. Most note worthy being the recently climbed feature (but only amongst boardsesh users). We also sync the kilter climb database now, and will soon enable kilter to boardsesh syncing of user data.
Roadmap:
I'm a bit tired after spending the last month building this thing. But we have moonboard 2024 data in the pipeline thanks to amazing community contributions. There's also an ipad version to look forward to.
Any questions or feedback, join our Discord
After i uninstalled and reinstall like the mail told me the app stop working. i got it to work one time after waiting for ages. I tried everything clearing cache, clearing data, login again etc.
Is it just me or an general issue right now?
Hi everyone,
As many of you I have uninstalled the previous app and downloaded the new Moonboard app.
I also have the problem with some problems (7 benchmarks and 1 non-benchmark) not ticked in the new app but ticked in the old app.
However if i go to leaderboard it shows the same amount of climbed benchmarks. The leaderboard shows 117 even though the new app list 110 benchmarks climbed in the problem list (if I filter benchmarks and my ascents).
Also if I try to log one of the benchmarks that I climbed before but that has been marked as unclimbed in the new app it does not work to log it. I log the ascent but it does not show up as climbed in the new app! BUT the comment I left while ticking in the new app IS showing.
It’s really confusing and buggy!
Anyone got any feedback from Moonclimbing or any insight from behind the scenes if they are working on these very annoying problems?
Did anyone else catch an update to the app on android, now 1.3.55, it looks like it was pushed through on Monday. (Had a note dated 22/6 and suggesting a re-install may be required)
Now it appears to be rolled back on the store, (1.2.45 from last June) but it's still installed on my phone.
Quite a substantial change to the lay out, a home page and a hub pag, and able to have multiple active board lay-outs on your home page.
Home screen with multiple boards
The hub section contains lists, log book, rankings and that kinda thing. (version at the bottom)
Most interestingly perhaps is that you can pin favorite gyms- Currently the only populated one is the School Room, with the boards set as a 2024 and a Spraywall with only a few routes set by Ben recently.
I don't think this is one of the "normal" School Room spray walls, and it looks to include holds from previous moonboard sets. (I see some woods and blues)
Any guess on whether this is the fabled Moon spray wall?
The other thing it could be is a test for the app, because the update also mentioned "pro" functionality to add "non-standard" boards with hold recognition for mapping and setting.
I seem to remember the new spray structure being described as a wave, which doesn't appear to match the image, so perhaps it's a test for the custom wall functionality. (Anyone spot holds from another manufacturer on there?)
What do we think? Nice to see the app getting some more love at least!
(Edit- Looks like this is actually still live on IOS)
So, updated app. Now I can’t get it to work. It’s stuck on this page. Any experience with that?
iOS - 18.4
Hi 👋
Quite new to moonboard and I’ve downloaded the newest update. I was wanting to know if there’s some hidden search functionality that one can use to find another climber? I can only seem to be able to view other climbers profiles by tapping on their name if they’ve left a comment on a climb or the setter of a route. If they haven’t done either, then I can’t find their profile.
Does anybody know how?
So the new update came out and im able to access every part of it except for the boulders, just been stuck in a loading screen. Anyone have the same issue?
Im on IOS 26.5 and have deleted and redownloaded the app, refreshed the app, and restarted my phone but nothing has changed.
Updated the app and lost all logbook entries.
What did I do wrong??
Is there anything I can do to recover my logbook?
