Episode 40: ”The red holds are universally hated”, our thoughts, tips, and strategies for climbing better on the Moonboard

If the moonboard were in the cast of Mean Girls - no questions asked, it'd be Regina George. People love it. People hate it. People are obsessed with it. People want to be around it. People want to be as far away from it as possible. Either way, they CANNOT stop talking about it.

So in this episode we're cutting through the noise and getting to the truth about the Moonboard. Is it really a 'magical tool'? Is it going to get you injured? Is it impossible to climb on if you're short? What kind of sessions can you do on it? And HOW do you get warmed up to climb on this thing? 

We're digging into all that and more on this episode of The Average Climber Podcast.

IMPORTANT NOTES, SOURCES, AND LINKS: 
1. at the top of the episode Lauren mentions that the red holds are on the 2016 board. That's wrong. It's the 2017! Our bad!

Additionally, Lauren mentions being full up on custom plan spots until November. This is true, and also it's a lie. If you're going on a trip for Thanksgiving, there's a deal waiting for you. You can learn about the Sendsgiving special at this link: www.goodsprayclimbing.com/sendsgiving.
