What is the Lattice Assessment?
The Lattice Assessment is our premium climbing assessment option. It is designed for people looking at starting Training Plans, or can be completed as a stand-alone assessment for an analysis of your climbing performance, strengths and weaknesses. The Lattice Board Assessment is a two-hour testing process with a Lattice-accredited coach. You’ll be put through our carefully designed testing protocols to assess your movement efficiency, finger strength, lactate curve, mobility and more. Your results will be compared to our database of athletes to provide an accurate measure of how you stand against others of your grade, and what you should prioritise in your training moving forward.

What is the Lattice Board?
The Lattice Board is the most advanced and recognised profiling tool globally, with use from IFSC international competition athletes all the way to weekend warriors. Its unique combination of movement-based climbing assessments, metabolic testing and functional movement scoring allows the assessor and climber access to one of the most powerful training tools in the industry.

Founder, Tom Randall, designed the first Lattice Board for use with GB competition climbers and elite outdoor athletes and over the last decade, the system, its data and support team has grown exponentially. The Lattice Board assessment package is backed by thousands of hours of research, data collection and statistical analysis. All of this distills into the coach’s ability to deliver a climber’s assessment, which provides them with an objective view of their performance and goal potential.

What is boulder league?
Adult Bouldering League is a league for climbers to team up and earn points together. ABL is a chance to virtually climb with friends and improve personal climbing and just have fun with a smidge of competition. Climbers of all abilities are welcome to participate. We use a handicap system so that anyone can compete, no matter how hard you climb.

How it works:
Every week climbers will climb at the gym of their choice. Using the Kaya Climb app, climbers will log the boulders that they complete. You score points based on climbing the new set. Climbers have 7 days to get the most points as possible on the new set, until the next set comes out. Kaya will reflect not only your team’s score but your individual score as well, which will be made up of each member’s top 3 routes completed each week. At the end of 7 weeks, there will be a raffle with tons of awesome swag. The winners will get glory and bragging rights until the next league!

Scoring & Ranking:
Boulder Problem Points – Using the V-Max Handicap System
Setting your V-Max: Think of the highest grade you have been able to complete recently with some regularity. That will be your “Max V”. Your points are then derived from that baseline. Teams will have a weekly and a Total score. The weekly team score is an average of the score of all the team members and drops the lowest score. The total team score is a sum of every weekly score.

<
Example: a V5 climber who climbs a V5 receives 100 points, if they climb a V4 then they receive 80 points and a V6 would be at 120 points. With the Handicap System, any climber who climbs a boulder that is the same grade as their V-Max will receive 100 points. This allows climbers of all abilities to earn points in equal measure for their team. Our table only goes to two grades above your current V-Max in order to discourage cheating (sandbagging). If you feel you have gotten stronger, you can update your V-Max by speaking to your ABL Facilitator.

DO NOT try sand bagging (low-balling your handicap), you will be caught, and bumped.

Make friends. Get Strong. Have fun.
