Looking for a good Travel Hangboard
|
Looking for something (could be the Tension Board, could be Metolius Rock Rings... or something really cool I've never even heard of before) that I can take with me on trips to places with no gym/no rock, and easily hang off a tree, off a doorpost, off of something in a shitty hotel room (work travel)... So I guess I have a few questions:
|
|
Door Frame? |
|
Door frames are often metal (shitty hotel rooms), and often poorly made to the point where i can damage or rip them out, plus sharp edges, plus unknown/unmanageable edge width, plus No. Thanks though, NEXT. |
|
Just go do Face Out. Oh wait. You can't anymore. |
|
The Tension Flash Board is what you want, for a portable hangboard. There are other similar products that are also pretty good, but none match the usability, well-thought out design, and manufacturing quality of the Flash Board. |

Birdman- I'm actually asking because i'm training for a 1 day, 100 ascent FaceOut record. Will you be my spotter? |

Tension flash board. Bring a double length sling and biner and rely on trees and railing posts on hotel balconies. Pull-up bars in gyms are great if you get so lucky. |

Awesome woodys out of Australia have the best portable hangboards. |
|
i've been happy with the flash board, although i mostly use it to warm up at a crag with sharp rock to save skin |

When traveling, I take the Tension Blocks (2x) and resort to a density hangs or Bechtel 3-6-9 protocol. I don't feel like I get strong using those protocols, but I definitely don't lose any strength. |
