Frequently asked questions
What is a spray wall?
A spray wall (also called a woody or board) is a dense board covered with holds, usually at a steep angle. Unlike a MoonBoard or Kilter Board, spray walls don't have fixed hold positions — the gym or the community sets problems wherever they like.
Do spray walls use an app?
Some gyms use apps such as Kilter, Crimpd or a custom app to share spray wall problems. Others simply use chalk marks or QR codes on the wall. Check with your gym.
Are spray walls good for training?
Yes — spray walls are highly versatile for training. They're great for developing power, technique, and footwork. The lack of fixed hold positions means problems can be tailored to any style or grade.
