@utahphunk if you dont have time during the week then strength training like that is a good idea surely

I like how you don't even use your little finger a lot of the time and still make the moves look easy.

@utahphunk Depends. I'm an intermediate climber (~low 5.11) and I'm thinking about getting a hangboard for my place, but that's because in a given week, I might have a lot of opportunities where I have enough time to do a workout at home, but not enough time to get to the gym (much less an actual crag).
On the other hand, when I DID have time to get to the gym 3/4 days a week, I could crank really hard routes for strength, or climb below my limit to focus on technique, didn't need a hangboard.

Extra reach. Take it from me. I'm really short, am only 5'2 and reaching is a huge problem for me. The stronger my lock off, the further I can reach. :)



The guys that think and write about this stuff a lot pretty much agree that campusing and hangboarding are *not* worth your time until you're climbing about 5.12 sport or bouldering about V6.
Until then, your best bang for the buck is to just climb more. Your body needs to learn movement and better footwork first. Do oppositional & core training, too.
Everyone starts out climbing thinking they need more grip strength, but if their technique were better, they could climb harder instantly.
