"A classic. Good range for beginners to expert."

"So happy to have finally found a hangboard with the design that I wanted: clean and simple, asymmetric, 40mm to 10mm in 5mm increments, jug and slab. The hangboard arrived in perfect condition and was easy to install. The space behind the jug can be used to hold a phone when the jug is not used. It's also priced very reasonably, making it in my opinion one of the best hangboards on the market."

"I left a previous review of 3 stars due to a crack on the left side of the Hangboard I received. Noah from their support team followed up with me and got a new one shipped in less than a week free of charge. Impeccable support and good Hangboard."

Features

Designed for how you actually train.

6 labeled edge depths from 40mm to 10mm
Progression

6 edge depths. Every one labeled.

Research shows hangboarding improves finger strength faster than climbing alone. But only if you can track your progress. Every edge on this board is laser-engraved so you know exactly what you're training, every session.

Design

Asymmetrical layout. Better form.

Symmetrical boards waste space and create awkward hand positions. This layout spaces every edge evenly so your hands land in the same spot regardless of which depth you're training. Consistent form, measurable results.

  • Equal spacing across all 6 edge sizes
  • Same hand width on every depth for consistent data
  • No dead zones or wasted board space
Asymmetrical layout with even spacing
Rounded jugs and 40-degree slopers
Versatility

Warm up. Train. Cool down. One board.

Deep jugs for pullups and warm-up hangs. 40-degree slopers for open-hand technique. 6 crimping edges for finger strength. Everything you need for a complete session without extra equipment.

  • Deep jugs for pullups and warm-up hangs
  • 40-degree slopers for open-hand strength
  • No separate pull-up bar needed

The research

Hangboarding works. Here's the proof.

Peer-reviewed studies, real climbers, measurable results.

17-28%

Stronger fingers in 10 weeks

Climbers who added hangboard training to their routine saw 17-28% increases in finger strength. Climbing alone showed no significant change.

Stien et al., Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2022 ↗
4 weeks

To measurable gains

54 climbers trained twice per week on a 12mm edge. After just 4 weeks, maximal finger strength, stamina, and endurance all improved significantly.

Vigouroux et al., Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2022 ↗
70%

Of climbing ability is finger strength

Finger strength and dead-hang duration explain up to 70% of total variance in climbing ability. It is the single biggest predictor of how hard you climb.

The story

I built what I couldn't find.

I'm Noah. I climb and I run The Hangboard from Florida.

I started looking for a solid training board and kept running into the same problem. Either the layout didn't make sense with huge gaps between edge sizes, or it was $150 and I couldn't tell what I was paying extra for. I just wanted clean progression, good wood, and nothing unnecessary.

So I designed one. Went through a bunch of iterations, dialed in the spacing and depths until everything felt right, and started selling them.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything you need comes in the box: screws and drywall anchors included. Drive the screws into wall studs for the strongest setup. The mounting holes are 16 inches apart, which lines up with standard stud spacing. Takes about 10 minutes with a drill. You can also mount it on a door-frame pull-up bar (no drilling at all) or build a free-standing rig from 2x4s for about $30 in lumber. Our mounting guide walks through all the options.

This board was designed to start with you. The 40mm edges and jugs are comfortable enough for complete beginners doing their first dead hangs and pullups. As your tendons adapt over weeks and months, you move down to 30mm, then 25mm, and so on. That’s the whole point of having 6 depths instead of 3 or 4. Most climbers who start on this board are still progressing on it a year later. Research shows even V2 climbers see measurable finger strength gains from structured hangboard training. See the beginner workout plan →

The biggest difference is progression. The Beastmaker 1000 jumps from 45mm to 20mm to 15mm, with nothing in between. That’s a huge gap that leaves most climbers stuck. The Hangboard gives you 40, 30, 25, 20, 15, and 10mm, so each step down is smaller and actually achievable. Both are European beech wood, both have jugs and slopers. The Beastmaker has dedicated pockets, but you can train the exact same grip positions on any edge of similar depth, so a dedicated pocket hold isn’t necessary. The Hangboard has labeled depths (which the Beastmaker doesn’t). Price difference is significant: $89.99 vs $138-150. See the full side-by-side comparison above. Full comparison breakdown →

Wood is gentler on your skin, looks better mounted in your home, and actually improves with use as the grain polishes smooth. Polyurethane holds (like you’d find on gym walls) mimic outdoor rock texture but eat through skin faster, which limits how long you can train. Wood also handles chalk better, provides consistent friction session to session, and lets you focus on pure grip strength rather than fighting the texture. For home training where you’re doing multiple sessions per week, wood is the clear winner.

Every order ships within 24 hours from St. Petersburg, Florida. Standard US delivery is 3-5 business days via USPS. We ship to all 50 states and internationally. You’ll get a tracking number the same day or next morning.

30 days, no questions asked. Mount it, train on it, put it through its paces. If you’re not happy for any reason, ship it back and we’ll refund you in full. No restocking fee, no hoops to jump through. We cover this because we’re confident in the product, and because buying a hangboard online without touching it first is a leap of faith. We want to make that easy.

Most climbers do well with 2-3 sessions per week, 20-30 minutes each. Beginners should start with 2 sessions per week on the larger edges and build up over 4-6 weeks. Rest between sessions matters because your finger tendons and pulleys need time to adapt. Some advanced protocols like Abrahangs involve daily sub-maximal hangs, but if you’re doing max-effort training, space your sessions out. Stop immediately if you feel sharp pain in your fingers.

The hangboard, mounting screws, and drywall anchors. Everything you need to get it on the wall. Drive the screws into wall studs for a rock-solid mount. The board weighs 5 lbs and measures 23.5 × 6.25 × 2 inches.

Absolutely. You have two no-drill options. First: mount it on a standard door-frame pull-up bar (the kind that wedges into a doorframe with pressure). Works great and takes 30 seconds to set up. Second: build a free-standing rig from 2x4s for about $30 in lumber. It’s a simple A-frame design that sits on the floor and holds the board at the right height. Both options are completely removable and leave zero damage. Our mounting guide has dimensions and step-by-step photos for each method. See no-drill options →
