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?

nice job man, i know it ain't easy! i just don't like linkin park :D
KEEP ON CLIMBING!

@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.
-
@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.

@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

@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.

@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 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.

What material is the wall it's mounted on?
Eliasn 2 years ago
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.
