A climbing wall is an artificially constructed wall with manufactured grips (or "holds") for the hands and feet.

The wall must overhang continuously with an angle of 5°. The climbable surface has to be light grey, covered by a resin-quartz with 0.1/0.4 granulometry, the numbers referring to grain sizes of fine sand. The top rope anchor point must be 1000 mm higher than the climbing wall and stand out 1000 mm from the wall.

The MoonBoard is a rectangular 2.44-metre (8.0-foot) by 3.25-metre (10.7-foot) section of climbing wall, typically overhanging at 25 or 40 degrees, onto which climbing holds have been fixed in a dense grid-like fashion, with modern MoonBoards having almost 200 individual holds. [7]
