KILTER BOARD FEATURE The Kilter Board is a new training board system with holds that light up. Using the Kilter App, users can browse thousands of climbs, generate their own project lists and set new boulder problems with ease. The Kilter Board is designed to be adjustable from vertical to 70 degrees. The Rock Gym at Brookside is lucky to have this new piece of equipment that will be accessible for climbers of all ages and challenge the very best climbers in the world.
