Climber Reviews

"This board is an absolute game-changer.

In the last 2-3 months of consistant use, it has undeniably elevated my climbing abilities to new heights. Not only does it allow me to tackle my weaknesses head-on, it does so in an incredibly enjoyable manner.

My psych is so high every session - knowing that every time I climb on it, its a direct investment in enhancing my performance on outdoor projects."

Climber Reviews

"New climber in mid-40s working through V0-V4 on the TB2.

There is so much hold variety on this board to challenge me - crimps, pinches, slopers. Tried other boards, and was never a fan.

The TB2 really nails it, especially with the Mirror setup. Without any coach for training, I can tell a big difference in working my weaknesses when doing boulders on the opposite side of the board."

Climber Reviews

"As someone whose training primarily revolves around board climbing, I've always found all previous options to be lacking. To put it simply - I could either have fun or train, but never both. Additionally, the training I could do was too narrowed to a specific style.

In my eyes, Tension is one of the few climbing brands that represent core climbing, so it isn't surprising they deeply understood this dilemma. The TB2 is fun to climb on, doesn't trash your skin, and offers the widest variety of styles out of all of the boards currently on the market. For effective, fun, and versatile training, there is no comparison."

Industry Professional Reviews

"Incredible board! I've climbed extensively on almost every board on the market and the TB2 is simply the best of them all in my opinion. From layout options and LEDs, to hold selection and comfort - I've been so impressed with the TB2.

I coach full time and have clients ranging from very elite to beginners just learning their fundamentals. But I can comfortably use the TB2 as a tool to fit each persons current needs. The people at Tension make quality products and the TB2 highlights that very well!"

- Gabe O, Climbing Coach

Industry Professional Reviews

"The TB2 outshines all other boards currently on the market for several reasons. There are lots of small, directional footholds that help climbers build good body tension and technique, even in the beginner and moderate grade range.

Too many training boards are one-trick-ponies, but this board strikes a balance between many styles without compromising on any of them. The TB2 is my go-to training tool for bouldering and has been a hit with our community here in Dallas."

2 hold types. 3 UNIQUE experiences.

TB2 HOLDS IN DETAIL

The TB2 combines wood and dual-texture polyurethane holds to provide a tactile training spectrum that includes high, low, and no-texture experiences.

The updated wooden grips enhance grip strength and body tension, while dual-texture polyurethane holds demand precision, refining your skills to perform on diverse rock types and hold textures.

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.
