My buddy just sent me this link and thought it was pretty cool. I probably wouldn't buy it but I'm sure somebody will. Hell even make your own.

The concept is really great. The holds they offer are terrible.

Here's my version of the blank slate:

I just saw this too. It looks very promising to me with limited amount of space and not too handy with building my own.

I have a few questions though. They offer 90 degree and 105 degree. What would be better and the purpose of 105 degree? I suppose it's to make it harder with the overhanging angle.

Any suggestions on what type of hang board to get and any particular hang board workout?

Thanks!

Love the cooling fan! So the chalk may be redundant. Hope you get rich with that design (put the cash in the film canisters).

When working one arm pull ups or hangs you can use a pulley system to take some of the weight off. I found a description and video here: robotclimbing.blogspot.com/…

McLeod's a smart guy in general, but he doesn't know the first thing about hangboarding. Read his blog, paying particular attention to the comments and, you'll see what I mean.

The concept is freaking awesome!! But wholly CRAP $129 for the wood and angled aluminum??!!!???!?!

I'd pay $150 for the whole set including holds and hang board. Seems like a humongous ripoff. Is this put out by the mountain athlete in Jackson?? I couldn't tell who designed it...

Great idea, way too pricy.
