Workshop 19/50 Campus Rungs G (Set of 10 pcs) for Climbing Walls (14mm) Review (2026)

What this set includes

This listing from Workshop 19/50 is a set of 10 individual Campus Rungs G, each cut to 500mm, roughly 19 and three quarter inches, so a full set spans enough width to build a real campus ladder across a home board. The rungs are sold separately by depth in the wider Workshop 19/50 lineup, and this particular set uses the 14mm profile, the shallowest option the brand makes. Workshop 19/50 sells the same rung style in 19mm, 25mm and 32mm depths through its own store, so the 14mm version reviewed here sits at the demanding end of that range rather than the middle, and buyers who already own the wider depths can add this set to extend a ladder toward smaller edges.

Material and build

The rungs are made from solid alder wood rather than a composite or resin blend, a material choice climbing brands commonly use for wooden training rungs because it holds a consistent edge and takes chalk without becoming glassy as quickly as softer woods. Alder is on the harder side for finger training edges, so expect the 14mm depth to feel sharp under load, especially on longer hangs. Workshop 19/50 markets its own rungs for campus board training, dead hangs and laddering drills, which lines up with how the shallow 14mm depth is meant to be used rather than as a general purpose hold.

Fit for the job

At 14mm deep, this is not a beginner edge. The site's own pros and cons agree with what the brand states elsewhere in its lineup, that this depth suits intermediate to advanced climbers who already have finger strength built from wider rungs or a fingerboard, since the shallow incut leaves little room for error on dynamic campus moves. Climbers newer to campusing are better served starting on the 25mm or 32mm rungs from the same maker, then working down to 14mm once contact strength and finger conditioning catch up, rather than starting on the smallest edge available.

Mounting and setup

A set of 10 rungs is enough to build a full-height campus ladder on a home board, but the rungs themselves are just the training surface, not a complete kit. You need an existing overhanging campus board or training rack with the correct bolt spacing to mount them on, since the listing covers rungs only. Anyone without a board already built or bought, such as Workshop 19/50's own training rack line, will need that structure in place first before these rungs are useful, which is worth checking before ordering if you are starting a home setup from scratch.

Who should buy this

This set fits climbers who already campus board regularly and want a demanding 14mm edge to push contact strength further, or anyone replacing worn rungs on an existing wooden campus board. It is a poor first purchase for someone building their very first home training setup, since starting on 14mm skips the progression most coaching guides recommend for new campus boarders. Compared with the wider Metolius and Atomik rungs also sold for campus boards, the solid alder construction and Workshop 19/50's narrower depth options make this a more specialized, progression focused pick rather than an all-purpose set for a first home wall.
