As an outdoor enthusiast, I can say this is the best portable hold for minimalists looking to train strength while protecting their fingers.
I’ve tried about 10 different portable boards in the past, and I loved this one so much that I bought a second one.
It’s especially perfect for outdoor warm-ups and indoor one-armed deadhang training. By stripping away unnecessary mono pockets or overly shallow edges, it strikes a brilliant balance between portability and practicality.
As Alex Megos says, a 20mm edge is really all you need for most things.
Even when my skin is thin or I’m dealing with pulley strains, it allows me to train with minimal discomfort. Thanks to the arched shape of the gripping surface, it distributes the load properly to the index and pinky fingers. With standard crimp holds, the PIP joints tend to twist slightly, increasing the risk of injury when pushing hard. This hold, however, feels relatively safe.
While it's incredibly skin-friendly, the texture on the gripping surface is a bit too smooth. Giving it a sanding makes it even better.

When we started SWEEP Climbing, one of the first things we cared about was the brush.

Not just any brush, we wanted something high quality, durable, and easy to replace, without compromising how it actually feels on the rock or the board.

Their brush heads use high-density bristles that clean holds efficiently without feeling harsh. They strike a really nice balance between stiffness and longevity.

What we love most is the swappable design. You can change bristle types in seconds, depending on what you’re climbing. And when one side wears down, you can simply flip the brush head 180° to extend its lifespan. Simple, practical, and effective.

Such a nice little thing! Works great on small holds/campusboard.

Nice brush, well made, looks good, feels good. Easy system to replace the brush head - great idea, great work.

My favourite hangboard to warm up! The smooth designed edges make holding a little more difficult compared to other models, but they prepare the fingers much better for the real work. Use it for four/three/two or even one finger, pinch it… 20mm/15mm… it‘s simply perfect!

best brush I have ever had. great boar hair brush. really nice to brush with. I love the replaceable head.

Really good quality brush!! I definitely recommend!
As a boulderer, I have tried countless brushes, but this one beats them all. It is durable, precise and keeps even the smallest crimps spotless.

This is the perfect training tool. You have portable board with which you can train every grip position, from crimping, to monos, to many types of pinch grips. Because of the smooth edge it doesn't load your fingers aggressively
and you can use it for warm up at the crag or in your daily training routine.

Super useful for training/warming up and beautifully made!

Loved the small monod, super practical and beautiful wood. I ordered 2.

Un producto de calidad, se nota el cariño puesto en su fabricación, bastante ergonómico, solo falta probarlo en roca

Godzilla, great brush! Big, but not heavy, very smooth in the hand!

The brush is truly a masterpiece. I appreciate the interchangeable bristle heads. Very fast delivery – it arrived before Christmas. Thank you!

I ordered Smooth hangboard because its small, perfect for when I travel, looks sharp, and love the simple wood.
