A great fingerboard with all the necessary holds to really improve finger strength! I would strongly recommend this board to any strong intermediate or advanced climber looking for serious training tool that will cater for all there needs. A great alternative to the moon board as it has the advantage of a large full hand sloper on top (for me this is the only thing the moon board lacks), as well a good selection of smaller holds. The board also has a central handle which is great for lockoffs and one armers, and two large jugs for warm ups and cool downs (another two luxuries not featured on the moon board)
In terms of the smaller holds on the board there are two brilliant ½ digit four finger crimps, two large four finger first digit pockets (good for pull ups/warming up), 2 super comfy 2 finger pockets (1st digit), a pair of small 1st digit slopers and some tiny tiny slopey crimps! The holds themselves are all perfectly formed, so are super comfy/tendon friendly to hold which is great. The texture of the board is also really smooth yet really grippy, so you get good levels friction without tearing off precious skin! All the pockets have nicely rounded edges to prevent overstretching of the tendons, so they feel safe for training 2 finger deadhangs (or monos if yer nails). Worth noting this board doesn’t come with fixings.
All in all this is an excellent board, and thanks to Bananafingers, really reasonably priced too! I have noticed serious improvements in my finger strength since purchasing, so strongly recommend it. Bananafingers service was good as ever with super quick delivery as usual!
