Yes! To convert a TB1 to a TB2, you will need to remove the t-nuts, install the TB2 screw-on holds, and then install the LEDs into the former t-nut holes. See below for more information about LED kit conversions.

No. All of the holds on the TB2 are meant to be screwed on for the Mirror or the Spray layout. However, all holds are also able to be bolted on for other applications.

Yes. Plastic sets can be ordered in all typically available colors for routesetting purposes. For more information please email info@tensionclimbing.com.

If you’re converting from a 10×8 LED kit to a new TB2 10×8 wall, or a 12×8 LED kit to a new TB2 12×8 wall, then you will only need to purchase the light caps. Please email info@tensionclimbing.com for more information.

If you are planning on upgrading the size of your wall, then the LED upgrade process may be a little more involved, but you still will not have to purchase an entirely new kit. 

Either way, this will be a custom order, and you can email info@tensionclimbing.com for help!

We went without a kickboard this time for a few reasons:

• Eliminating the kickboard gives the climber the full experience of the wall angle as soon as they pull off the ground, where a kickboard reduces the effective angle of the wall, making it feel less steep for the first few moves. 
• Because of the nature of kickboards, they incentivize keeping low feet, which provides a less egalitarian experience for climbers of different heights. 
• In our experience, eliminating the kickboard increases the opportunity to set interesting footwork.
• Eliminating the kickboard simplifies wall construction and allows more climbing surface to be installed in a smaller area… aka: your garage.

• Exploiting texture is an important part of learning to climb on certain hold types like flat edges and slopers.
• Polyurethane is also a stronger material for more complex and incut shapes.
• Including multiple textures on one wall further broadens the overall experience for the climber.

The TB1 and TB2 are best experienced on an adjustable climbing wall, but if you have to choose a fixed angle, we recommend the following:

V2-V5

• TB1 @ 25 or 30 degrees
• TB2 @ 30 or 40 degrees

V6-V10

• TB1 @40 degrees
• TB2 @45 degrees

V11+

• TB1 @45 or 50 degrees
• TB2 @45 to 55 degrees

Yes. All TB2 wall sizes and sets can be configurated into the Spray or Mirror layout. However, the install process is involved and we do not recommend switching between layouts frequently.

Each layout is unique and will excell in different areas. The Mirror layout offers the unique opportunity to hone in on side-to-side weaknesses and balance the stimulus of a given training session. The Spray layout offers more overall movement possibilities, while still remaining relatively balanced, and is also just a little bit more difficult at each angle compared to the Mirror layout.
