Metolius Simulator CNC Training Board - 2008 BCS

I have had a Metolius Simulator fingerboard for many years and believe it to be the best fingerboard on the market. The variety of holds is incredible, from the 3 big jugs which offer you wide and narrow hanging/pulling options from them to the many 3, 2 and mono pockets, to slopers and crimpers...this board has it all. It is very grippy and easy to hang. I put some "I" bolts that can accommodate carabiners on the outside of the board so I can clip in bungy cords at different lengths to reduce the load when hanging and pulling. This is a great way to work into full body weight pull-ups and hanging on the smaller holds.

this board got waaay too easy. so, FLIP IT OVER. very small crimps, small slopers, and jugs at the top and bottom still. THIS THING IS SICK turned upside down.

so many different crimps. love it

This is one piece of at home training I would highly recommend. It has every size and type of hold you need and get this, when you are super strong you can turn it over for super small quarter inch holds...sick!

It comes with intructions for training routines and is easy to hand just about anywhere. I have mine attached above a door frame and it works great.

Warning: You have probably heard this already but if you are just starting out, wait to get this or at least don't over train with it. Trust me you need to improve at a semi gradual rate so your tendons and such can keep up with your muscles. It would be very easy to cause hand injury on this thing, and if you think waiting a day or two to climb is murder try several months!

Newbies and veterans alike need this over at least one doorway in the house. The multiple rows of varying-depth pockets offer unlimited strength building exercises. If you're an experienced climber, you need the versatility to get a decent workout. If you're new, you will be excited about the intriguing shapes, holes and textures...and will eventually appreciate the versatility. I'm still pumped about the pretty color and marbled appearance and have just recently begun appreciating the ridiculously narrow, lower grip. If you're in the hangboard market, don't be irrational, buy one.

Lots of Options and fun to play on in my spare time, its got everything!

This board is awesome and can show great improvements in your contact and finger strength. I used this board often at the gym before I moved away and had to get one for myself. Can't go wrong with it!

Do you really need so many different crimps? This is a great fingerboard though, lots to choose from, some good jugs and pinch options too.

great board with many different holds to practice on. had to get creative with hanging the board above the door. no problems after that, use it everyday.

Our wall at school is out of commission for rebuilding for a year, and this board is the only thing keeping me sane. We have it hanging over the stairs, and I love it. Everything from deep 2-finger pockets to crimps for building your tendon strength, some heinous and not-so heinous slopers for forearms, and of course massive jugs for just cranking it out. I especially like that the two outer jugs are far enough apart to give your back a workout as well. This board is the only thing tiding me over till Thanksgiving at Red Rocks. Simply the best.
