VARAPPE 8 – 9 Climbing Hangboard

The Varappe is the complete climbing hangboard from Woodrock.

The benchmark hangboard for grade 8 to 9 climbers

Who is it for? Advanced climbers operating between grade 8 and grade 9, seeking a fixed hangboard offering maximum grips to push their limits.

In its “8-9” version, the Varappe is aimed at advanced-level climbers. It differs from its little sister the Varappe 5-7 with shallower holds, thinner edges and additional grips (mono pockets, 11 mm edge for crimp training).

This training hangboard (fingerboard) combines a wide variety of grips with perfect ergonomics. It also features an innovative accessory: the assistance ring, which facilitates progressive warm-ups, max strength training and resistance circuits.

Innovations at the service of performance

In addition to the usual grips, the Varappe 8-9 offers:

• 2 slopers at different angles, positioned offset, allowing sufficient arm spacing when hanging
• 2 pinches offering two grip types: open pinch and closed pinch, depending on thumb placement
• 1 angled central edge, particularly for dead hang training
• 1 × 11 mm edge specifically designed to allow room for crimp grip training
• 1 assistance ring for reducing body weight using a resistance band, which allows:
  • a very progressive warm-up
  • safely attempting holds you can’t yet hold
  • working at maximum strength, especially for one-arm hangs
  • making resistance circuits on the hangboard easier
