Crack Climbing Trainer hold

Crack climbing trainer!


I had a climbing board on a wide backboard and thought it'd be perfect if only I could find a crack climbing hold - which I couldn't. So I designed my own!


Printed with Fuzzy skin-modifier on the front, and variable infill. I chose 40% on the base, 60% on the support structure behind and 45% on the actual wall. You can make the wall less high if your hand is a bit thinner and smaller than mine.


Print two in any colors you'd like and screw them into the wall (Follow a guide on how to install a backboard safely, do -not- screw these directly into the wall or they probably will fall out. Here's a guide on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdbYAok8j58).

The width of the of the gap between the two crack holds depend on what kind of crack climbing jam you'd like to train. Here's a guide I borrowed from the Godfathers of crack climbing, the Wideboyz:

Setting:

The Crack trainer has two halves which you’re able to set at your desired width
