Slide your hand outward, using the Position Index Bump as a reference point, to incrementally increase difficulty. Each climber will be able to find a spot on the Edge Rail that is perfect for their finger size and ability, and then as their fingers strengthen, they can incrementally progress to smaller holds by shifting their hands outward, using the Position Index Bumps as a reference point for repeatable training. These features, along with the “Position Index Bumps”, allow tremendous variation in hold size without taking up too much space on the board (or resulting in a fragile design). The Variable Depth Edge Rails on this board provide an almost limitless ladder of progressively shallower edges to train from. Often once your hangboard does its job – making you stronger – there is nowhere to go except to a new, expensive hangboard. Even if you aren’t a hangboard connoisseur, you will benefit from the thought and attention to detail that went into the design, and you won’t outgrow this board once you become fanatical about training.įinally, we were determined to develop a practical yet functional means of progressing to smaller grips, without the need to constantly buy more and more hangboards as the climber improves.
We wanted to develop a board that would help extremely experienced hangboarders push to the next level, by minimizing all the little annoyances that inhibit your hangboard training sessions (like skin irritation, joint pain, features that encourage cheating, unrealistic shapes and impractical hold sizes). That’s literally 1000’s of hours spent hanging from all manner of hangboards. That is, three or more seasons per year, with 8-12, 90-minute hangboard sessions per season. We have nearly 30 years of hangboarding experience between us. While we’re certain the above features will help beginners break into hangboarding, this board was wihtout-a-doubt designed with hardcore training fiends in mind. Furthermore, the size options provide a built-in ladder of progression that will make the RPTC a valuable training investment for years to come. The board includes multiple size options (usually three sizes or more) for all of the most important grip positions, ensuring that climbers of all abilities will find Goldilocks Holds-those that are just right for maximizing your finger strength. The board has three textures (completely smooth, medium texture, and rough texture) to give a secure feel on positive surfaces without wrecking your skin. Skin friendly, large-radius lips on all holds.Īll the holds on the board have large-radius, skin-friendly lips to maximize comfort.
