The 8 Best Hangboards

Updated December 29, 2018 by Brett Dvoretz

This wiki has been updated 23 times since it was first published in December of 2018. Hangboards allow people to develop their grip strength from the comfort of their own home, rather than having to make a trip to the crags or a climbing gym every time they want a quick workout. They are generally made from wood or resin, with each material being beneficial for different reasons. On this list you'll find models suited to both beginner and advanced climbers. When users buy our independently chosen editorial selections, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

December 27, 2018:

We did our best to include models that have a variety of handholds, so that users won't outgrow them just because their strength increases a little bit. However, since there is no one-size-fits all hangboard, we made sure to add options for both beginners and experienced climbers. We also thought it prudent to include a few portable models that aren't technically hangboards, but serve a similar purpose and allow you to train almost anywhere.

A wandering writer who spends as much time on the road as in front of a laptop screen, Brett can either be found hacking away furiously at the keyboard or, perhaps, enjoying a whiskey and coke on some exotic beach, sometimes both simultaneously, usually with a four-legged companion by his side. He has been a professional chef, a dog trainer, and a travel correspondent for a well-known Southeast Asian guidebook. He also holds a business degree and has spent more time than he cares to admit in boring office jobs. He has an odd obsession for playing with the latest gadgets and working on motorcycles and old Jeeps. His expertise, honed over years of experience, is in the areas of computers, electronics, travel gear, pet products, and kitchen, office and automotive equipment.
