Farewell to the Zlagboard: A New Chapter for Vertical-Life

After 10 incredible years, it’s time for us at Vertical-Life to turn the page and focus fully on developing our digital climbing platform. As part of this transition, we’re saying goodbye to the Zlagboard—a product that has shaped our journey and connected climbers around the world.

We still have some Zlagboards left in stock, and this is your chance to grab one at a special price of €99. It’s more than a training tool—it’s a piece of Vertical-Life history.

The Zlagboard has been a huge part of our story. We’ve sold over 10,000 boards, hosted countless of Zlagboard contests, and watched climbers push their limits, from beginners to world-class athletes. For many years, the record held firm at the 02:44.35 time set by Ramón Julián Puigblanque. Last year, Günther Unterrainer raised the bar with an impressive 03:05.98!

The Zlagboard app will remain fully functional, supporting climbers to train smarter and climb harder for years to come. While this chapter ends, the Zlagboard’s legacy continues—we’re in discussions with potential partners in the climbing training industry to carry the project forward under a new name.

Finally, we’d like to share that our books will now be distributed by Panico Alpinverlag. This ensures our climbing guides remain accessible to climbers everywhere, continuing to inspire adventures for years to come.

Ready to claim one of the last Zlagboards? Don’t wait—once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Train smart, climb hard!
