Metolius Foundry Training Board

This is my first hang board. I really like it compared to a few I have been on. The feel of the material is what I think I like the most. Went up easy. Feels really solid. You can really injure yourself with this thing, or any I would imagine, which was a semi-shock to me. I just thought that I could always just cut loose of it if it got to be too much. One little flinch wrong as I let go and man I was hurt. I didn't even go crazy and hurt myself to where I had to lay off for two months. Great board though. I use it 4-5 times a week. My friends that come over can't walk by it without getting a few hangs in lol.

Great addition to our son's climbing enhancement products. Quality craftsmanship. VERY HEAVY! Fairly easy to install if you have a handyman(woman) around the house.

Gift for my son, and he loves it! Very challenging holds, mounts easily.

perfect! the pinch on the sides is tough but with some practice I will get there :)

Like the hangboard a lot. Got this after considering its bigger brother, the Contact.As a noob, i must be using a bit too much chalk, because the chalk cakes into some of the pores, and becomes a little slicker in feel after a while.I don't miss not having the multiple depths on the edges and pockets. Again, I'm a noob, though, so what do I know.The middle holds are a little inconvenient, on account of the way I have to put my arms really close together, but it's no dealbreaker. If it is for you, then maybe consider the Rock Prodigy?The one major complaint I have is about the pinches. I haven't figured out how to really utilize them, and my roommate, who's a lot better/buffer/experienced than me doesn't like them either. The problem isn't so much the shape, but the angle at which they put your arms. I really have not been able to make any use of these, and neither has my much buffer roommate.Otherwise it's a great hangboard

I got one of these for Christmas this year and just set it up in my office. I'm very happy with how it sets up and how solid it is. What you need to purchase to install this above a door frame, in addition to what comes packaged with the product, is a 3/4" thick piece of wood which you drill into the studs in your wall using 3" deck screws. What comes with the board are mounting instructions, a guide to training board exercises, mounting screws to attach the training board to the plywood, and the training board itself. All in all I am happy so far with the board, I will post updates in a few months to show how it has affected my climbing.

Son and husband bought to do chin ups and strengthen grip. Works well in basement.

a gift for my daughter. She really liked it.
