Seeing if anyone has made something like this that is removable other than ring rocks around a pull up bar. Where I live I can not mount anything into the wall and im attempting to save some coin. |
|
I just bolted a hangboard to a pull up bar sitting in my closet. Works pretty well. |
|
^nice dirtbag innovation. Those things retail way less than a blankslate setup. |
|
There was a thread about that a few months back discussed here: |
|
tim f thank you. that is the innovation I was searching for! You da man |
|
Tim, that's perfect. I think I've got the same bar in my closet too. Any tips on how you mounted the wood to the bar? |
|
Tim, thanks for your help, you're the man! |
|
Javier and Tim, could you go into more detail about how you securely attached the mounting board to the ends of those bars? |
|
I did something similar. Will take a picture when my new DRCC board gets here on Friday. |
|
Man, those DRCC boards are kinda popular at the moment. Did sesh #3 on my new one on Tue. |
|
hey will, how are you liking the V512? i'm thinking about getting one for my next HB cycle. |
|
Slim, |
|
The moment isn't that big because the distance from the center of the board is an inch or two at the max. |
|
So far so good. It does flex. Maybe 2-3* or so??? It hasn't affected my work out mainly because I can't make much use of the smallest slopers, yet. If it flexes any more I'll put extra padding on the doorway to compensate. And at a cost of $5 versus $129 (I already had the pull up bar, which is like $20), I'm definitely not complaining. The V5.12 was $80 or so, if I'm not mistaken. the blankslate "the bomb" hangboard is $89 on the website and the blankslate itself is $129. If the setup busts, the hangboard can be easily placed elsewhere and I'll be out $5. |

Got my 5.12 in the mail today and mounted it up on the board. Thought I would share a quick photo. I'm probably going to add a few holds along the top to provide even more range. |

I have only ordered climbing holds from them and they did a custom job for free everytime and they look amazing. Easily one of the top climbing hold companies out there. Below is one set that I have photos of: The DRCC Slots. Asked them to do some crazy colors and this is the result. Almost too pretty to climb on. |

It's a 3 layer gradient with swirls. I think. The best thing to do is call them and talk to them about the color/design options. The options page on their site is a little confusing but I called them the Monday after xmas and they were super helpful even though it was a holiday for most people. |
|
just placed my order over the phone for a black v512 w/ red, yellow, and blue swirls. they said it might come out kind of funky. can't wait to get it. too bad i am in the middle of a cycle and don't want to change horses mid-stream. i'll probably just hang it up and stare at it for a few weeks... :) |

+1 on great DRCC customer service |

How in the world did you mount the wood to the pull up bar?! And I'm a girl, so don't use fancy man terms, thanks! |
