Just Another Front Range Climber (with a blog)

Objective : Climbing Strength

Warm-up : 3 X 10 pull-ups

Training : find smallest hold hangable for 5s, 5 rounds per grip, rest as needed

Grips
Mono (mono grip, easy side)
1/2 crimp (crimp grip, hard side)
Two finger (middle pocket, hard side)
Open hand (lower sloper, hard side)

This the best hangboard I have ever seen. It is the no-longer-available Power Junkie by Pusher. It is sleek, no wasted space, and mean, every hold is slopey. The texture is perfect, almost none. Notice the Alan Wrench. The board is mounted on t-nuts so it can be flipped over. 2x the grips, easy side and hard side. Genuis! Notice the stopwatch. Critical for scientific training. Notice the extra holes in the wall. I can't find studs even with a stud finder.

Notes : Ran out of time for crimp grip. It is okay cause I'm kinda strong on crimps. Finished the move to the Front Range of Colorado, aka Center of the Universe. If I was 'core I would have cranked outside yesterday during the daytime high of 50 degrees and continued to sleep in my car. I'm not 'core and found an apartment. However, my apartment is less than 1 mile from a climbing area!!! If I was 'core I would have cranked there despite today's daytime high of 32 degrees. I'm not 'core and hit the board. If I was 'core I would convert my living room into a woody, it is huge with 15' vaulted ceilings. I'm not 'core and am converting an extra bedroom into a woody.
