Comments about Metolius Simulator 3D Training Board:

I just got this hangboard for Christmas and its great! I had no problem mounting it, (it comes with directions, you must get some plywood and some decking screws). It is great and very durable. There are a variety of holds to help work on different fingers, muscles, etc. overall this is a fantastic hangboard, way better than the others online (my friends have some).

Comments about Metolius Simulator 3D Training Board:

This hang board is a must have for climbers that can't get to the gym every day or so. I'm able to stay in shape between gym sessions.

There are so many different combinations of holds which makes it so much fun to use. The training programs developed by metolius are really good - just don't over do it.

Installing the board was very easy.

Comments about Metolius Simulator 3D Training Board:

I started out with the wooden training board from Metolius but returned it in exchange for the Simulator. After printing out the workout instructions from Metolius I have begun to regularly use this unit.

The surface is pretty coarse so at first my hand got pretty torn up. However, its no different than doing long multi-pitch routes at the crag. My dainty keyboard hands needed to toughen up anyway.

Keep in mind that chalk is a must for this training board. Keep at it though, pull ups and long hangs on the sloper are have been a major improvement for me.

Comments about Metolius Simulator 3D Training Board:

I've been actively sport climbing for about 6 months, some outdoors, mostly in a local gym. Got this training board as a gift, and it's doing wonders for my grip and forearm strength. Metolius provides some better workout regimens on their website than come in the package. The 'entry level' is giving me a challenging routine that I can see the benefits from within just a few sessions - it seems that I've been able to go from 5.9s to 5.10As easily because of increased crimping and two- or three- finger holds.

The material of the board seems pretty solid, is rough enough for good grip, and the variety of holds is tremendous. Chalk is critical for many of the holds - to limit the mess in the house I am using liquid chalk.

I found the mounting instructions to be good, but of course it's not always the case that you can find such a good spot with backing studs in your house. I had to improvise quite a bit to get a backing board solidly mounted in a desirable location. But the boards mounting points and screws seem solid.

A great at-home training product!

Comments about Metolius Simulator 3D Training Board:

This Hangboard is great for anyone looking to increase their grip strength. I have been using this board at my house now for about three months and could not be happier with the results i have been able to get from it. The only cons i could think of were the lack of pinch grip type holds but this can easily be added into a training regimen through other means of exercise.
