Hi all,
I'm just getting into the RCTM routine, and really climbing training in general, and I'm liking the more focused efforts. After climbing for 5+ years, it's good to have a more specific plan to follow.
I'm not yet into the strength phase, but I don't have regular access to a hangboard all the time due to various life obligations. I'm looking for some feedback on portable options, such as rock rings. I currently train on a pair of SicGrips (sicgrips.com) as I find them more versatile than the rings.
I set up a mobile pulley system that I can use on a pull-up bar I often use at a gym. This allows me to add/subtract weight similar to a HB. That said, the grips are not stationary so it is not as specific to climbing.
What are everyone's thoughts on this type of training?

Can you make a mount for a hangboard that would fit over the pull up bar at the gym? I have seen some pretty creative mounts that might work where you can bring your HB to the gym to get the workout you want. Just an idea...

I've considered that (and still am). The biggest challenge is finding a way to keep the board stationary. I need some way to counter my body weight. The pull up bar is about 14 feet long and has flat, vertical supports every four feet or so. I could probably leverage off of one of those.

Saw your post on the portable campus board from Kandahar. Thought you guys would appreciate this pic of my hangboard setup on the other side of the runway this winter.
