Fingerboards
Aside from doing laps at your local climbing gym, getting a good fingerboard training programme sorted is probably the best way to become a stronger climber. If done correctly, fingerboard training can show really quick improvements in finger strength, which is one of the biggest factors in pushing your climbing grade. Fingerboards range from relatively simple designs like the Moon Fingerboard, which features only what you really need, to more complex and comprehensive models like the Metolius Contact, which is a huge fingerboard with a massive variety, great for extended workouts. There's even some great looking fingerboards that wouldn't look out of place in your living room, like the Metolius WoodGrips series. Whatever fingerboard you choose, make sure you get a proper training routine sorted and warm up before you jump onto the tiny holds!
