YY Vertical Board Light Hangboard - Beginner Finger Training Board

The YY Vertical Board Light is a beginner hangboard in smooth poplar wood with seven core grip positions. It's for climbers new to training who want a simple, accessible way to build finger strength without overloading their fingers.

You get three four-finger edges at 45, 25 and 20mm, two slopers, a 40mm central handle and two comfortable jugs for warming up. Nothing fancy, nothing that will overload new fingers. The central handle takes a resistance band for assisted hangs, which is how we'd suggest most beginners start. At 540 × 130 × 50 mm and 800g it fits smaller spaces, and when you're ready to progress, optional inserts (not included) add 35, 15 and 10mm edges.
