Climbers looking for a handy and portable climbing trainer that can be taken almost anywhere may be interested in the unique climbing rings known as Duck Rings.
The “ducklings” have been created by tindeq, based in Trondheim, Norway, and take the form of a set of training handles designed specifically for climbers and inspired by traditional gymnastic rings.
Climbing rings are designed to provide a compact and lightweight way of specific training , unrelated to crags or training centers.
Duck Rings features include:
– Portability: With the functionality of a barbell and the size of a gym hoop, Duck Rings™ weigh only 300 grams (10 oz) per pair. Use them to warm up before climbing.
– Versatility: They are designed to offer a variety of grip options that allow you to practice almost any grip position you would use when climbing on real rock.
– Naturalness: Each pair of Duck Rings™ is made from high-quality plywood, which gives a unique look of natural wood. The wood will even absorb moisture from your hands during exercise, eliminating the need for climbing powder.
– Stability: The handles are designed to be self-stabilizing. This means that the more load is applied, the more stable they become.
The carefully designed geometry of the Duck Rings makes them automatically stabilize in any position. You will feel that the handle becomes more stable the more you load it. This even allows you to hang on to the edge of the flat handle.
This is definitely a very useful and versatile tool for all climbing enthusiasts.
