We are Manuva Climbing, a team of passionate rock climbers and product designers driven to make training for rock climbing easier than ever before.

We founded Manuva Climbing out of a personal desire. When we’re not thinking about climbing, we’re usually found thumbing the pages of the guide book thinking about the next time we can. Our problem though was finding consistency and continuity in our training routine, making sure we stayed strong throughout the year. What we needed was a hangboard that we could easily use no matter where we were.

We found that the conventional style of hangboards weren't flexible enough for our lifestyle. We weren't able to install them in our rental apartments or easily take them with us when on the move or looking to train outdoors. What we needed was a fixture free hangboard that was quick and easy to install, that left no lasting damage to our walls and that was small enough to store away between sessions, or to travel with. Unable to find the perfect solution, we set about designing The Manuva Board.
