Climbing Hangboard

thingiverse

I was inspired by Devin Montes at Make Anything to design my own hangboard for finger strength training after discovering that I could likely save money making one myself. I mounted my hangboard to my pull-up bar, the Iron Gym Pro Fit, which proved convenient. I followed a video tutorial for doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu-MrncHpJo&t=51s I purchased all of the items listed in the video except for slippers. However, I found that #12 - 3/4" wood screws worked better than the #14 - 3/4" ones bought by Devin Montes. Additionally, I chose poplar as my wood of choice (7 1/4" x 24" x 3/4") and selected its size to ensure that my holds were about shoulder-width apart. This design allows me to easily swap out handholds if I decide to create new ones in the future. The holds are secured with two bolts and nuts using clearance holes drilled through the wood, as shown in other pictures. To enhance grip, I added some grip tape pieces to the surfaces, which helped significantly. Despite this, I still struggle to perform the 10mm depth pocket, likely due to insufficient space for a full crimp and my own weakness.
