The campus board was developed in 1988 as an effective training device for climbers - according to Norbert Sandner he worked together with Jerry Moffatt , according to another representation, Wolfgang Güllich and Kurt Albert were involved in the development alongside Moffatt and Sandner.

In English climbing parlance, to campus means climbing without using your legs, but not necessarily on a campus board. During campusing, the climber pulls himself along the route (or a section) while hanging on his arms.
