Rock climbing is a great avenues for self-challenge. Just like many things in life, it’s an activity that can be immensely rewarding, but it takes dedication and training. One of the most important factors is strength training, where having a great strength-to-weight ratio will dramatically improve your game. Traditional weight training and cardio is a good place to start, but concentrating on building your forearm strength takes a bit more effort and specialized training.

The Metolius Wood Grips Training Board offers a great way to strengthen your forearms and grip at home. It allows you to regularly train at home, no matter what the weather is outside or even if you don’t have the time to head to your local rock wall. Made from natural wood, it’s friendly on your skin, and comes with a wide range of grips to help get you cling onto sandstone slopes this season.
