Metolius Simulator 3D Training Board

I had no trouble mounting this hangboard to a board I picked up at the home center. I then mounted the board with the hangboard attached to the studs above a door opening. It is super solid and has no problem holding a large friend of mine at 250lbs. The texture of the board is excellent. I like to use chalk with it to make the tougher holds a bit more manageable, but that adds another degree of difficulty to go without chalk. The variety is excellent with a variance of 2, 3, and 4 finger holds from easy to super-hard difficulty, one hand holds (in the center), and 2 degrees of slopers on the top (med & hard). The hard sloper really is tough and has definitely improved my ability with slopers in the gym. You can also do pull-ups on the jugs at the top left and right. I was peaking around 5.10c/d before spending 6 weeks doing workouts on this hangboard. Spending 10-15 minutes a night on it before bed (just about everyday) has allowed me to advance now to 5.11a/b. You will definitely improve your contact strength and forearm endurance. If you are a climber looking to improve and break through a plateau, you will definitely be glad you spent the money on this.

Very good product, useful for climbers for increasing finger and grip strength. This product definitely outclasses other training boards in terms of variety of holds. This training board also has a great grip and really feels like a hold you would have in a climbing gym.

I tested a bunch of these out @ my local rock gym (Peak Experiences - RVA) and settled on the Simulator 3D as it mosre closely mimics textures that I'll be dealing with and I'm a fan of the arch and ton of hold positions. That being said, my "green" board is really "green/white swirl" which would've been my last choice, had I known it. Does it affect my ability to use it or its function? I *really* doubt it. Would I rather be staring at a cool green board hanging over a door rather than the "meh" color combo I got? Definitely. Please update picture (or go to Metolius website for accurate images). ALSO -- if you're planning on using this over a door and that door is butt-up against a wall (or close to it); this will not work. I'm about 40" elbow-to-elbow when in a pulled-up position on this board and all of the doors in my house are close enough to a wall where I smack an elbow (no stars off for this, just an FYI) during use. Time to MacGyver a solution... -- UPDATE: 5 stars -- This board is awesome; use the training guide provided from the Metolius website and work your way through the progressions.

Lots of variety on this training board. Jugs at the top, crimps of all different widths and depths throughout. Great way to practice and strengthen between visits to your local rock climbing gym. Installation will probably be difficult if you don't have the right tools and/or you aren't handy. The screw holes are deep, making it hard to fit a pencil to mark the holes before pre-drilling. I marked one center hole, screwed the board to the wall, then used a long drill bit to mark the other seven holes. Then I uninstalled it, drilled all the holes, and reinstalled. I had to use a screwdriver instead of a drill for most of the holes because they're so deep. Took a bit of elbow grease. Installation would be much easier if Metolius provided a paper drilling template.

Color is different than advertised; base color is white and green swirl is added. Other than that, all good. Easy to install and has a great variety of holds, metolius done good. Quality hangboard for entry level to intermediate climbers

I haven't used this hangboard yet but it appears to be well made. I never noticed any smell coming from it, as one review said.

I bought this my by boyfriend (and myself) so we could work on strengthening at home. After installation it has been great for at home workouts to increase our strength for climbing. Be aware it is very gritty at first (since the ones at the gym are more more worn in) and will take some getting used to as it's a bit rough on the hands at first. But itmakes it good for working on those callouses!

Be aware that if you're going to mount this to a regular wall, this needs to be mounted to a backing board (e.g. a 3/4-in thick piece of plywood), and this backer board screwed into wall studs. For anyone who hasn't done something like this before, you can just go to a Homedepot/Lowes/etc. and buy a quarter sheet of plywood (sometimes called a "project panel") and some wood screws about 2.5-in long. You can have them cut the plywood to size (for free) if you don't have the tools to do it yourself. You'll need to then find the studs (this: https://amzn.com/B000IKK0OI works well), and screw the plywood into the wall, putting three screws (evenly spaced; top, middle, bottom) into each stud behind the board. Then just screw this training board into the plywood using the included screws. I'd recommend pre-drilling the holes to reduce the chance of splitting. As a purely cosmetic thing, you can paint the plywood to match the color of your walls, and if you want to get fancy, route a profile onto the edge of the plywood (if you have/know someone with a router). If you're particularly anal, you can fill any gaps in the plywood edge with drywall compound before painting. TL;DR: It's critically important that this be securely attached to studs behind the wall, otherwise there is a high probability this will be ripped out of the drywall. -----The actual product----- Well made. Heavier than I expected (a good thing). Came in well-designed packaging to survive the hazards of shipping.

Brilliant quality. Lots of different degrees of difficulty, from beginners to intermediate all the way through to advanced. Best product on the market. Easy to put up. Great delivery timing. Couldn't be happier.

設置場所をかなり選びますが、うまく設置できれば安心してトレーニングできます。 設置にあたりネットを参考に * ホームセンターで買ったパイン板材300mmｘ9100mmｘ4000mmをバックボードとして * 突っ張り棒 の組み合わせで、壁に損傷無く設置できました。 物自体が結構な重さ、バックボード合わせて10kgはゆうに超えます。 付属のネジは本体を超えて300mm以上出るので、 400mmの板材（私の家の近くでは300mmが最大でした）を探すか、 別の木ネジを用意するなどしないと、結局壁を傷付けてしまうため注意が必要です。

チョークの有無でかけられる負荷が大分変ります

Lieferung innerhalb von 2 Tagen und Produkt wie versprochen. Die Wandmontage war super einfach mit den beigelegten Schrauben (Qulität ausreichend). Verwendet wurden dazu 6x35 Fischer Dübel um das Produkt direkt an die Wand zu bringen. Hierbei habe ich die Bohrlöcher im Board noch ein wenig mit einem Senkkopfbohrer bearbeitet, damit die Schrauben im Board verschwinden und kein Fingernagel hängen bleiben kann. Bei einer Schraube riss der Kopf ab, als sie per Akkuschrauber festgezogen wurde (unten Mitte). Habe diese nicht ersetzt, da das Board auch so an der Wand klebt. Zwei Erwachsene (zusammen 175kg) haben sich zusammen an das Board gehängt und es bewegt sich keinen Millimeter. Für einen Einstieg ins Training ist eine Trainings App nützlich. Diese arbeitet mit durchnummerierten Griffen und gibt erste Strukturen und Anreize für ein Training. Grenze der Übungen mit dem Board ist aber wahrscheinlich nur die eigene Kreativität.

Sehr gut verarbeitet . Viele verschiedene Griffe aber leider nicht viele für Anfänger . Mann sollte schon ein wenig Erfahrung haben da Mann sich sonst schnell verletzen kann . Eine gute Alternative wenn Mann mal keine zeit hat in eine boulderhalle zu gehen und trotzdem trainieren will . Ein Zettel mit Übungen liegt dem Board genau so wie alles für die Befestigung bei .
