The VerticalBoard Range

The VerticalBoard: 4 climbing beams to meet the needs of every climber.

At YY Vertical, we wanted to create a range of climbing training beams so that every climber could find what they're looking for. Whether it's in terms of technicality, functionality, accessibility, or price.
We have therefore designed 4 climbing beams. One for each level: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert.

The beams were created by our R&D department, where seasoned climbers and coaches work, as well as with the help of professional climbers. This has enabled us to develop this range of training tools capable of meeting the demands of all climbers.

All the products in the range have common features:

• Ergonomics: with their rounded angles, the VerticalBoards make it comfortable to repeat exercises on the same grip.
• Poplar wood: this wood offers excellent skin grip while preserving it. It's also a fast-growing wood that requires very little water during its growth.
• Adding a rubber band: all VerticalBoards allow you to place or attach a rubber band to relieve weight, making progress easier.
• Wedges: the magnetic wedges add more functionality. By reducing the depth of the grips, they increase the range of work and progression.

The rubber bands are sold separately.
All VerticalBoards are compatible with our wedges. Only the VerticalBoard One and Evo come directly with the wedges.

The VerticalBoard Light: the most accessible beam

The VerticalBoard One: the most versatile beam

The VerticalBoard One is the flagship product of the range. It is designed to accompany the climber in the long term for increasingly motivating projects.

The VerticalBoard Evo was created for expert climbers to achieve their wildest goals through training on challenging and specific grips.

For this, it has mono, two-finger (especially inclined) and flat challenging grips, while keeping easy and essential grips for good warm-up and progression (25mm, jugs…)
