The Whetstone was designed to be an ideal first hangboard for climbers beginning their training journey. Tension included a series of elements that they found consistently valuable for both new and seasoned climbers.
The top jug on the Whetstone is something new. The edge profile was designed to promote a more “active†grip and reduce “over-wrapping†the wrist. A series of “ergo-bumps†was included to both improve the comfort of the grip and also to act as an edge that can be draped in an open-handed grip to more evenly distribute force between each finger as an aid for rehabilitating some finger tweaks.
The 4mm 2-finger pockets are perfectly sculpted to provide the most comfortable pockets you've ever felt on a hangboard.Â
AÂ built in a progression of larger edges for beginning hangboarders (and for experienced hangboarders with larger hands), while still progressing down to a 2mm edge, which has become the de facto edge size for benchmark testing.
The center edge is 4mm deep, but with a fully custom edge profile that is incut at 1 degrees to help facilitate an introduction to more advanced 1-arm hanging progressions.
