Hi,
I've posted this on UKC, but thought I might get more responses on here...who knows.
I'm going away with work for a few weeks and am not going to get a chance to climb. I'll be staying in hotels and most seem to have a gym, so I was thinking of buying Rock Rings or equivalent so that I can at least do something to keep my finger strength up. I'll also try and do some kind of climbing-oriented training in the gym and get out running as often as possible, but I would like to work fingers if possible.
In case this influences advice/opinion I currently use one of the wood grips boards and only work fingers on the smallest pockets, not using them to full depth. I could probably do the same with Rock Rings if the smallest pockets are too big (some people have said this to me). Whilst looking at the rings, I saw that Metolius make portable power grips, but I can't find much out about them. Has anyone seen or used them? They are much lighter than the rings, but obviously have fewer pockets to use, not that this is necessarily bad for what I need. I'm travelling around the USA so will be taking quite a few internal flights (which limits how much I can carry) which is why a smaller, lighter alternative to the rock rings could be good. Does anyone know of a non-Metolius alternative that could also work?
Thanks, apologies for all the questions.
