Crack Trainer

The Wide Boyz Crack Trainer is a simple, lightweight, two piece adjustable crack system, for home use or training areas within climbing gyms. It can be used as a single unit for crack specific exercises and dialling in your technique or multiple units can be added together to do full boulder problems and circuits. The product comes in a flat packed style which is easily assembled and installed by the user. Soft Grip can be added and replaced at a later date by the user if required.

The jamming area is plain wood which provides a slick jamming feel. An excellent option for Power Endurance or Strength based crack workouts. For an easier jamming surface purchase with Soft Grip. See “Crack Trainer with Soft Grip” package deal here.

A note from The Wide Boyz:

“We climb using both a Soft Grip and a wooden jamming surface. Having both options lets us tailor our training and climbing sessions to the intensity we want, enabling us to dial in our technique and get stronger quicker”
