Hangboarding pulleys

This is how I've done it. A couple small eye bolts can do the trick pretty easily. You want the rope coming down to your harness to be centered on the board, so you need to take into account the length of the pulley and biner, then make sure the weights aren't hitting the wall or anything else, as slim said.

mike, are your eyebolts screwed into the edge of the plywood? if so, yikes, watch your toes! (although you are a beast and probably aren't using as much weight on your pulleys as i do). my setup is somewhat similar, except that i have the eyebolt screwed into one of the ceiling rafters just behind the hangboard, and then a sling down to a pulley.

That's not plywood, it's a 2x10, and yes it's screwed right in there. I hang up to 50 lbs on there routinely and haven't had a problem in 5+ years.

oops, sorry, i was trying to give you an extra hard time (knowing that you are an engineer). when i first looked at the photo it looked like the eye bolt was screwed straight into the edge of the plywood. Now a 2X10 on the other hand.... i'd probably stamp that.

This forum motivated me to re-mount my hangboard- I just moved to a new state and have been putting it off.

Here it is... I learned most of what I know from the brothers Anderson.

Forgive my ignorance but what do the pulleys do? I have a hangboard but no pulley and I feel like I'm missing out on something...

Pulleys are used to reduce resistance.
