Description: Resin Climbing Hangboard

The resin climbing hangboard is often used by climbers to improve their grip strength and endurance. Made from resin, it offers a variety of holds to simulate different climbing conditions… just like wooden hangboards! Except the raw material of the product changes everything.

Advantages

• Less expensive: if you only look at the price and forget the environmental impact of these hangboards manufactured on the other side of the world
• Variety of holds: Resin hangboards can offer a wide variety of hold shapes and sizes
• Easy maintenance: Easy to clean and requires little maintenance.

Disadvantages

• Weight: Heavier, which can complicate installation.
• Feel: Less pleasant to the touch than wood, resin can be rougher on the skin due to the added texture needed to create friction. This can help build calluses but also requires recovery time after training.
• Environmental impact: Resin is a petrochemical product, non-renewable and not eco-friendly… when your hangboard reaches end of life, it’s impossible to recycle!

Difference with wood

• Comfort: Wood is the standard for maximum comfort in training. With its smooth texture and soft edges, wood offers the best option for keeping skin pain-free throughout a session.
• Grip and perspiration: Due to the porosity of wood, you can train on a smoother surface without sweating as much as you would on a resin hangboard of the same smoothness. The smooth surface of wood is also slightly harder to grip, which can add an extra challenge to your training.
• Renewable material: Wood is a recyclable and renewable material, making it much more environmentally friendly compared to resin derived from petrochemicals.
• Ecology: Wooden hangboards are often considered more ecological, especially if made from local and sustainable wood.
• Aesthetics: Wood is generally perceived as more aesthetically pleasing and blends better into different environments.
• Durability with maintenance: a well-maintained wooden hangboard (regular brushing, light sanding) keeps its grain and feel for 10 years and more. See how to maintain a wooden climbing hangboard.

1 Review for the resin climbing hangboard

The opinion of Jonathan, the hangboard designer behind Woodrock:

Resin hangboards can be very interesting for their variety of holds and durability. However, as a maker and climber, I find that wood offers a more pleasant and natural experience. Wooden hangboards are also more environmentally friendly, which is an important criterion for me, as they are made from a renewable and recyclable material, unlike resin derived from petrochemicals.
