Max Crack Bundle (1)

The Wide Boyz Crack Trainer with Soft Grip 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 is provided with this product and can be installed within the assembly process, plus easily replaced at a later date if worn.

Using Soft Grip will provide a grippy and comfortable crack feel. This option is good for Endurance and Power Endurance work outs, as well as working on technique. For a more difficult jamming surface purchase without Soft Grip. See our "Crack Trainer" Product 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"

Usage

• Use only with rock shoes

Book signed by Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall

The ability to climb cracks is at the core of a climber’s craft. Crack Climbing by Pete Whittaker provides a single point of reference for all crack climbing techniques, regardless of the grade you climb. Pete is widely regarded as one of the best crack climbers in the world, having made dozens of cutting-edge first ascents and hard repeats, including the first ascent of Century Crack (5.14b) in Canyonlands, Utah. In this book, Pete has drawn on years of experience to demonstrate the many different techniques and to give you an understanding of when, why and how to use them. Develop these skills with confidence and your climbing standard will improve.

The book is split into easily accessible sections on techniques for different widths of cracks, including finger cracks, hand and fist cracks, offwidth cracks and chimneys. Pete looks at the basics, including the hand jam – the essential technique in any crack climber’s repertoire – right through to advanced techniques such as the sidewinder and the trout tickler. Step-by-step practical information and how-tos are supplemented with tips and tricks from Pete alongside illustrations by Alex Poyzer and photographs. Additional chapters cover how to tape up, as well as essential gear and equipment. Pete has also interviewed some of the world’s top crack climbers so that you can learn from the best. Gain insights from Lynn Hill, Alex Honnold, Barbara Zangerl, Peter Croft and more. Master the craft and advance your climbing. It’s time to jam!
