VERTIPEAK Wooden Portable Hangboard & Pinch Block — Beechwood, 5 Pocket Depths, Travel-Ready

VERTIPEAK's 2-in-1 Wooden Portable Hangboard & Pinch Block is a compact beechwood fingerboard that combines five progressive pocket depths with dual-sided pinch grooves to develop finger, pinch and forearm strength wherever you train.

This lightweight, travel-ready training tool gives climbers a full range of grips—crimps, half-crimps, open-hand holds, and pinches—packed into a durable wooden block. Hand-sanded beechwood provides a natural, skin-friendly surface with reliable friction, while the included ropes and carabiner make it simple to hang almost anywhere: doorframes, pull-up bars, trees, or gym beams. Designed for progressive overload and portability, the VERTIPEAK fingerboard supports a wide range of exercises for beginners through advanced athletes.

How does the 2-in-1 design improve finger training?

The combined hangboard and pinch block format lets you alternate between finger pocket hangs and pinch-specific work without switching equipment. That versatility targets different muscle groups in the hand and forearm so you can build balanced strength and reduce weak spots that limit climbing performance.

• Five pocket depths: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 20mm, 25mm for graded loading.
• 8mm grooves on both sides act as dedicated pinch blocks.
• Supports single-, double-, and triple-finger positions plus open-hand grips.
• Use weighted hangs or bodyweight reps for progressive intensity.

What makes the beechwood better than resin or plastic for a fingerboard?

Solid beechwood feels warmer, wears kinder on skin, and provides consistent friction compared with harder synthetics. The VERTIPEAK board is finely sanded and hand-polished to preserve a natural texture that reduces abrasion while maintaining grip—ideal for frequent training without unnecessary skin damage.

• Natural grain reduces slipping and improves comfort during long sessions.
• Durable construction rated to 150 kg (330 lbs) for safe training.
• Hand-finished edges and surface to protect fingertips and skin.
• Lightweight yet sturdy—easy to carry and resilient over time.

How portable is it for travel and outdoor training?

At just 350 g and compact dimensions (15.6 x 11.8 x 4 cm), the VERTIPEAK hangboard fits easily in a backpack or suitcase. Two nylon ropes (80 cm and 2 m) plus a metal carabiner are included so you can rig a quick setup in hotel rooms, parks, or climbing crags without special mounting hardware.

• Ultra-compact size for packing into luggage or daypacks.
• Included 80 cm and 2 m ropes adapt to low and high anchor points.
• Carabiner lets you clip to pull-up bars, beams, or branches fast.
• Train anywhere: indoor gyms, outdoor sessions, travel, or home.

Which training routines work best with this hangboard?

The board supports isometric hangs, repeaters, max-hang tests, weighted hangs, and structured pinch sets—allowing you to periodize sessions for endurance, strength, or power. Because it accommodates single to three-finger pockets and two-sided pinches, you can tailor workouts to your progression and climbing objectives.

• Max-hang and repeaters using 6–25 mm pockets for graded adaptation.
• Pinch sets on 8mm grooves for targeted thumb-index strength.
• Combine hangs with added weight or use bodyweight for endurance.
• Quick warm-ups on larger pockets, then progress to smaller depths.

Who is this for: Climbers seeking a compact, durable fingerboard to improve grip and pinch strength while traveling or training at home will benefit most. It's useful for beginners learning structured hangs, intermediate climbers aiming to eliminate weaknesses, and advanced athletes pursuing targeted pinch development. Fitness enthusiasts who want a portable tool for wrist and forearm conditioning will also find it practical and easy to integrate into regular workouts.
