Show us your fingerboard.....
August 12, 2011, 11:06:19 pm
Firstly hi, just joined.  Only got into climbing recently but i'm finding it super addictive and very enjoyable so far.  Anyway, got me a fingerboard after having a go on one a few times in the gym.  Great for training, slightly dangerous to your fingers/bones/tendons if overused I guess, but great fun and a way to enjoy climbing at home nevertheless.  :lol:

Anyway, here's mine.  Let's get this thread full of pics of everyone's set ups as it's good inspiration, an it's always good to have a butch at others handiwork:

er... hows about fixing the beast back board with bolts and wingnuts so it's removable
then covering the rest of the frame with say... plywood with holes and t-nuts!

cripes, you've practically built yourself a board, or is that the intention?!

In my living room doorway so I can listen to music as I train. I went the commercial route with the mounting panel as I didn't have the tools or skills to knock anything up myself. It also needed to be removable so I don't crack my head on it all the time.

80% of the fingerboards on this thread look un-used!

Loft hatch is great idea - but loft doors tend to be in rather - ahem - boring place. My last failed BM mounting gave me a great view of the TV and I could put on some motivating choones..
