hangboard
Wall-mounted grip strengthener
A hangboard is a training device used by rock climbers, mounted to a wall or doorframe and featuring various holds, edges, and pockets of different depths.
Climbers hang from it to build finger strength and grip endurance: Twenty minutes on the hangboard every other day transformed my climbing.
Also called a fingerboard.
