Training boards can be intimidating, but they don’t have to be! Join Woods Board co-creator Andy Raether for an interactive Q&A session at The BoardRoom at 4pm on April 16.

Andy’s not only the co-creator of the Woods Board, he’s also got an impressive resume in the climbing world. He’s been climbing for over 28 years. He’s been a pro-climber, he’s a top notch routesetter (inside and outside!), and he owns a climbing hold business, Menagerie Climbing. Seriously, if you don’t know Andy, Google him and prepare to be impressed.

Andy is an avid trainer. He and Daniel came up with the idea of the Woods Board in 2021, as they have been friends for years and wanted to collaborate on a cool project. The first one was installed in our Henderson gym in 2022.

This session with Andy is designed to answer any and all of your questions not only about the Woods Board but board training in general: How to use them, how to apply the skills outside, and how to take your training up a notch.

If you’ve been hesitant to try out a training board because you don’t feel strong enough or you haven’t been climbing for very long, check this event out. By the end, you’ll feel more confident than ever to try something new.

If you’re a training board pro, this will still be worth your time. Who better to get tips from than the guy who co-created a training board!

This event is free for members and day pass guests. We will have staff on hand to check you in! First time visiting? Don’t forget to fill out your waiver online ahead of time.
