Moon Climbing: This is a great board for the 12+ climber

Nicros Nexgen: Great variety of holds (Couldn't find it either, not on the nicros website)

2 Different sized campus rungs: This is a cheap but just as effective alternative a la Dave Mcleod...

I think the Franklin Power Station: is the best commercially available hangboard.

No, but I'm pretty confident they "borrowed" their training protocol from me & Mike.

It did look awfully similar to your rock prodigy article.

What do you think are the main differences between the Nexgen and Powerstation? i beleive you mentioned that you used the NexGen before but now use the powerstation. Why did you switch?

I've never used a NexGen, that I'm aware of. DO you have a pic? I think I have a Warrior board, which I think is terrible. What I like about the Power Station is that its very ergonomically shaped (designed for humans not robots, like the Metolius boards). I have to run my wife is giving me looks...

Here is the nexgen http://www.nicros.com/products.cfm?CatID=33

I made a mistake, your brother ( in Making of a Rockprodiugy) says he loves this board. He stated that he used it in the article.
