Best With pullup bar: Danger Buddies Rock Climbing campus Board

Buy on Amazon

It is a north american hardwood, but one of the softest hardwoods, making it an ideal choice for hangboards. It provides enough of a challenge for intermediate and advanced climbers to build critical tendon strength. The quality, fit and finish, and the handmade feel really make this thing special.

These anchors are a great way to practice real-world climbing skills, or to provide a little extra boost to access the more difficult holds on this training board. It is easy to setup, cool wood material, and great ergonomics. The rounding on the micros make them comfortable to hold even at 7mm. The lag screws for the hangers do not protrude from the back of the hangboard at all, they are attached only to the board itself and not to your backer board or stud. They are also recessed as well, which also prevents arm contact.

Why We Like This:

Board is good, anchors press into wrist when on jugs
Has all kind of different holds for all abilities
Good brand reputation
