At our local climbing wall, there is a climbing wall panel which has holds laid out in a vertically symmetric fashion.

Wondering if peeps use this in the training and what sort of routines/benefits they find from it.

Google 'System board' and you'll find all sorts of info about them

In reply to Dandan:

Was really trying to understand if people on here actually use them and get benefits from them. Have never seen anybody use this down the wall.

In reply to Simon Pelly:

Personally, no, as none of my regular walls have one, but seeing as I am a bit of a training addict then I would almost certainly use one given the chance.
from what I hear they are very good at pointing out imbalances as you get to do the same move on both sides of the body and it is surprising how different the two sides can feel.
I'd also imagine they are great if you are struggling with a particular hold type as you can just train that one specific hold repeatedly without having to find a route that contains maybe one or two of the right sort of hold.

In reply to Dandan:

This. Especially if you can link few moves you are struggling. That helped me, but I don't train on it too often as I prefer jugs over wooden crimps.

Good for working the core as well.

Plant your feet and keep moving your hands further up trying to maintain your feet. Surprisingly hard.
