Spanning an impressive 4.5x5 meters, our Spray Wall is a versatile and customisable training tool that can cater to your specific needs. Here’s why you should make the Spray Wall a central part of your climbing training regimen.
Versatility for All Training Needs
The true strength of the Spray Wall lies in its versatility. Whether you're aiming to improve your power endurance, build overall endurance, focus on particular hold types, or practice specific movements, the Spray Wall can be adapted to meet your needs. This flexibility allows you to tailor your training sessions to target your weaknesses and hone your strengths, making your workouts both efficient and effective.
Customizable Routes
One of the unique aspects of the Spray Wall is the ability to create and customize your own routes. Using the Stokt app, you can design climbs that cater to your specific goals and skill level. Additionally, the app allows you to browse and attempt routes created by other climbers, providing endless variety and new challenges. This feature ensures that you always have fresh problems to solve, keeping your training engaging and dynamic.
Improve Power Endurance and Endurance
Training on the Spray Wall is excellent for building both power endurance and overall endurance. By setting routes with long sequences of powerful moves, you can train your ability to sustain high-intensity climbing for extended periods. Alternatively, you can design longer, less intense routes to work on your stamina and ability to climb efficiently over time. This adaptability makes the Spray Wall a comprehensive training tool for climbers preparing for both bouldering and sport climbing.
Focus on Specific Hold Types and Movements
The Spray Wall is ideal for practicing and improving your technique on specific hold types and movements. Whether you need to work on crimps, slopers, pinches, or jugs, you can set routes that focus on these holds, allowing you to develop your grip strength and precision. Additionally, you can design problems that require specific movements, such as dynos, or heel hooks, helping you to master these techniques in a controlled environment.
