I have been using an Ab Carver Pro for a few years, and find it a very effective tool. There are sites with them for under 25 bucks.

Kipping pull ups. Will also work you lats.

Here is a circuit developed by Scott Johnson and described in his book Training for the New Alpinism.

In the book he says to do each exercise until your form is no longer perfect.
