Boulderball Training Tool and Game

The smallest bouldering wall in the world. Boulderball is the first combined training tool and game specifically made for climbers, finger-strength training and climbing technique. Inspired by climbers, the Boulderball packs an ideal climb-training tool and fidgeting game for climbers into a small ball that can be brought along everywhere. Through an innovative assembling system (plug and play) the climbing holds keep the structure together and provide the connection points for the primary structure.

Both Dieter and Joachim are avid tinkerers who had long harbored the ambition to create a game that was not only engaging but also meaningful. Dieter, an enthusiast who devoted every spare moment to climbing, sparked the initial idea of transforming the theme of climbing into something novel. He quickly shared his vision with Joachim, who was already brimming with ideas. Together, they embarked on the thrilling journey of crafting a game designed to fine-tune the mind and senses, all while drawing inspiration from the world of climbing. This collaborative effort led to the creation of Boulderball, a game distinguished by its unparalleled design, thanks to the contributions of the designer, Martin. Joachim, renowned for his expertise in enhancing mental and cognitive performance, excelled in mastering Boulderball. He continuously devised new climbing routes and game concepts, pushing the boundaries of what was possible. Dieter, on the other hand, brought his extensive knowledge as a sports scientist and climbing aficionado to the table. Leveraging his deep understanding of the field and his connections with athletes and coaches, he played a pivotal role in the successful establishment and growth of Boulderball.
