Hey friends, before we jump into today's episode, I want to tell you about a new hangboard that I

designed in collaboration with frictitious climbing. It's called The Nug. It's available right now.

I'm really proud of how it turned out, and I'm really excited to share it with all of you guys.

I wanted something super portable that I could take to warm up at the crag or used to train in my van or at home or at the gym. I wanted it to have all the different holds that I like to train on and I think we nailed it. The response has been really positive. I love it. I use it all the time. And if you're psyched on training or just need a way to warm up at the crag, I think you'll love it.

I made a short video talking about the design and everything I love about it.

You can find it on the product page at frictitiousclimbing.com, or you can get there through my website at the nuggetclimbing.com. Just look for the Nug at the top of the page.

And today we are talking about how to climb on a training board.

So we're talking about any light up board that you might have in your home or in your gym,

a moonboard, kilter board, tension board, tension board two, grasshopper,

whatever you got. We're going to share some tips and pitfalls for getting into board training.

But first, Jesse, you've climbed B12 outside multiple times. You've climbed more double-digit

boulders than just about any of my close friends who

aren't pro-climers.

And, yeah, you're very impressive at rock climbing.

You're very strong.

What is the hardest you've ever climbed on the moonboard?

The whole lead-in feels like such an ego boost until that question.

I was trying to think about this, and I think the hardest grade I've climbed on the moonboard
