those bolts look gnarly... Did you want to add an element of surprise in each hold? Why didnt you just throw up the 3/4th ply and use FLAT decking screws on your training board?
I just got the Metolius Project board yesterday i love it! Question. Im goin to college next year is your hangboard in your dorm or does it stay home? I would love to bring mine with me just dont know if the College allows it because im gonna have to drill like 8 holes in the wall. Thanks
@Hiker1792 Hey, I dont use this account anymore but Im the guy in the video, I leave it mounted at home. no college would want bolts through their walls ha
@EvilLamas I'd do some climbing for at least a year before getting one. If you get straight on one of these without getting strong tendons first, you're screwed. New climbers get huge forearms but still pull on widdly little tendons. Once you damage a tendon, you're out of climbing for a good 8 weeks.
@bibhuna that's the reason a beginner should practice proper finger work on a hang board. You're statement is purely subjective. I've seen beginners use hang boards to train their hands, and have seen them improve rapidly. To say that hang boards are for climbers who have more than a years experience is misguided too, Hang boards are to help at all levels unless you're sport climbing then you're a badass.
@CzarThePlezer ~Hey, I've not conducted any studies or anything, but I stand by my advice. Straight climbing will also increase your finger strength, but with a lower injury risk.
@bibhuna - any graded exposure to finger strength training would be less likely to cause injury than 'straight climbing' in which the forces applied to the tendons and muscles responsible for grip are highly variable and more likely to cause an overload.
@kahdaffy I don't buy that. This guy is a beginner, so none of the routes he'll be doing are likely to put as much strain on his fingers as a fingerboard will.
@CzarThePlezer So is your statement. Again, I'm no expert, it's just that every climber I know agrees that hangboards are best used after you've already strengthened your fingers with a year's climbing. However, you are entitled to your opinion. I certainly know how useful they are, the slopers on my beastmaker came in bloody handy during this week's trip to Font.
hey this is the same guy in this video... i started a new channel so check it out. only 1 vid up so far but im starting to record a CD so this is my bands channel.
well i go to school in VA so i do a bit up there. i have a few buds in Charlotte and a new natural rock bouldering thing just opened somewhere there im lookin to go to.
its not necesarily mounted on the wall. the studs in the wall were spaced at weird spost so i couldnt put it in the studs like your supposed to. instead i went to home depot and bought threaded steel if you know what i mean and bolted it to a board on the opposite side of the wall.
haha yea man, im not a fan either buut all my music is from iTunes and this was the only non-iTunes song i had and therefore being the only song i could put on a vid.
I didnt have a stud finder so what i did was get long bolt things from home depot, they are like 3 feet long threaded pieces of metal and i cut them into the length i needed than ran them through the wall completely and nutted them on both sides. i put i piece of plywood on th back side of the wall so the nuts wouldnt go through wall.
once you get the moves once or twice you really never miss them again...
the trick to gettin it is just when you think you have it, just DONT LET GO! cause most of the time you can probably hang on but it kinda hurts but just go with it and adjust your grip accordingly after you catch yourself
thx... I can jump from everywhere (except the smallest two finger pockets) to the jugs now, but that aint much. I will atleast be as impressive as you before i post anything ;)

Awesome hanging xD

this looks like a good way to really loosen the board from the wall. good ideas though.... I'll stick to an assortment of pull ups and leg raises.
like on hand jug, one hand crimp, then switch hands.

I promise I'm not trying to be a dick, but be really careful throwing to those edges like that. You can blow a tendon in your fingers very easily.
