What is a 25-Degree Moonboard?
The 25-degree Moonboard represents a standardized training tool featuring the 2019 Masters hold set. This configuration provides an accessible entry point with problems beginning at V1 difficulty, distinguishing it from the steeper 40-degree variant that starts at V4.
The fixed incline angle enables climbers globally to tackle identical routes, compare progress, and vote on grades, fostering worldwide consensus on difficulty standardization. Unlike adjustable boards, this model maintains consistent geometry and hold placement.
