Metolius Project Training Board

A compact Board that's easy on the wallet yet delivers a solid assortment of holds.

Holds are arranged along a broad arc that tapers outward and downward for better ergonomics and reduced injuries. These holds include jugs, slopers, edges and pockets. One of the earliest training devices developed specifically for climbing, fingerboards are still one of the best ways to target the most critical of all climbing strengths: contact strength. They can't be beaten for convenience and specificity - they make it easy to target particular strengths and weaknesses, control the exact duration and amount of resistance on a particular exercise, and gauge your progress. They are also relatively inexpensive and take up little space. Installing a training board above a doorway in your house makes it easy to get a quick workout at any time. Lastly, the fine-grained texture is kind on the skin.
