OUT-OF-THE-BOX spray wall
The Spray Layout offers a traditional yet accessible spray wall experience with its wide diversity of holds, angle adjustability, LED integration, and global climb database.
movement creation and replication
The Spray Layout lets climbers of all levels create complex sequences far more unique than typical "board style" movement due to its high quantity and diversity of holds. It also provides a greater ability to replicate sequences for practicing indoor or outdoor projects.
a MORE realistic experience
The TB2 Spray Layout offers more extreme hold orientations than that of the Mirror Layout, creating a more realistic outdoor feeling than any other standardized board on the market.

High-quality wood holds
Made from several varieties of locally sourced hardwoods—our new and improved line of wooden holds are among the most comfortable and diverse we’ve offered.
This hold set is purposefully designed to be ultra-effective for training—keeping skin management central to its nature.
The TB2's wood holds are designed, manufactured, and tested by climbers in Denver, Colorado.
dual-tex polyurethane holds
Created in collaboration with Mimic Holds, the TB2’s dual-texture polyurethane holds were shaped using contemporary 3D printing methods.
The extensive range of diverse plastic shapes offer friction where you need it with the added accuracy challenges dual-texture holds are known for.
handhold difficulty spectrum
The TB2 offers four hold difficulty levels - easy, intermediate, advanced, and hard - as well as scalable difficulty with wall angle adjustability, ensuring accessibility and engagement for climbers of all skill levels.
FOOTHOLD Diversity
The TB2 is equipped with 11 different foothold shapes, eight of which have a dual nature depending on the climber's approach angle, resulting in a total of 20 distinct foothold experiences on the board.

Wooden holds disintegrating and splintering after about 1 month of use.
Most of the wooden holds have gone this way and the resin ones already started to really polish (like climbing on glass).
Classic (Benchmark) climbs seem to be all over the place in terms of quality and difficulty. I am not sure how or who classes these but quite a few "classics" get lots of 1 star ratings so it's obviously not just my opinion.
Very few easier graded classic climbs or classics at lesser angles (compared to say 40°).
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback — we take concerns like this seriously and appreciate the opportunity to make it right.
First, the condition you’re describing with the wooden and polyurethane holds is not what should be happening, especially after just a month of use. Though many high-trafficked boards do wear over time, this kind of degradation is outside the norm. We’ll be reaching out to you via email shortly to better understand the issue and to replace any holds that have degraded prematurely.
Regarding the Classic climbs — you're right that quality and difficulty can sometimes feel inconsistent. These climbs are selected by multiple contributors, and while we aim for each one to reflect something unique or high quality about the board, we know that the process is inherently subjective and doesn't always hit the mark for everyone.
We'll include a few questions in our follow-up email to get a better sense of the angles and grades you'd personally like to see represented in the Classics. Your input there will help us focus future updates in a direction that's more aligned with your experience and goals.
Thanks again for the honest review. We will be contacting you shortly.
The TB2 perfectly highlights the evolution of a standardized system boards. Having tried almost all of the available boards on the market at this point, I can easily say that Tension has created, what I consider to be, the perfect systems board! The level of thoughtfulness, planning, and QA that went into this board is almost astounding. It wasn't just slapped together. This board is a significant improvement over the TB1 and every other board. It combines realistic real rock climbing in static positions with tensiony (ha) moves and body positions but also allows for more exciting dynamic comp style movement. The amount of options you can select for this board is insane - you can crop it down to 10x8 if purchasing for a home wall and ceiling height is a constraint, or go all the way up to the big daddy 12x12. And one hold set allows for 2 different configurations allowing for seemingly endless possibilities for boulder problems. I also love that you don't HAVE TO finish on the top row unlike almost every other board. I LOVE the placement of the LEDs in the center of each hold. It's super easy to see and is probably aesthetically my favorite of all the boards. Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say about this board. I could go on...I love it so much that within 4 months of using it consistently at the gyms here in the Front Range, I sold my Moonboard and am switching to the 12x8 TB2 for my home setup. This board is the future! Buy one!
Love the assortment of crimps, pinches, and jugs. The variety of texture between the wood and plastic holds is perfect. The board is great for training tension and power, and much more fun than other boards. An amazing tool for improving your overall climbing ability.
The TB2 has been a fantastic addition to our facility - offering a versatile and dynamic training experience that climbers of all skill levels enjoy. Our members love how the Tension Board 2 caters to everyone, from beginners to advanced climbers. The adaptability has made the board a hit for both personal training and groups. Overall, the Tension Board 2 has elevated our facility's offerings and inspired our members train bigger and harder.
The best board. I literally stay at my current gym because they have this board and this is the dream home board. Top quality and real amazing climbs are created on this setup.
