Review: We love our Simulator 3D! - The Metolius Simulator 3D is a durable and well-built tool that is great for increasing your strength and grip. The design and quality are second-to-none, and I love the real-feel texture. Even my kids love challenging themselves and seeing how long they can last on the multitude of different holds. I bought a 3/4" x 12" x 36" wood panel at my local hardware store for about $6 and mounted the panel securely to the wall studs using #12 3" screws. Then, I mounted the training board to the panel using the screws included with the training board. It holds all 180 pounds of me without budging. I can honestly say the family and I having been having a lot of fun with this board. There's a great video on YouTube that provides an overview on the versatility and usefulness of this board. It's titled "Training Board Basics for Beginners" and it features the Simulator 3D with demonstrations by Beth Rodden, a world-renowned climber. Thank you, Metolius, for an excellent product! Review: Great hanging unit for rock climbers!!! - My 5’11 155lb. son is into rock climbing and wanted a hanging wall. Having no idea what it was, I ordered this Metolius Simulator 3D unit seeing that it had great reviews. It arrived within 2 days through desertcart. I inspected it before I put it up on our wall. It was very heavy, like cement, and had no cracks. The marbled white, gray and black design was a hit with my son. We picked out a perfect spot for his hanging unit in our basement that had studs in the wall to secure it to. Used a stud finder to mark the studs. I wanted to make the wood board backing so I went to Home Depot and had them cut a pine board: 9”X”48”, 3/4” thickness. I then sanded all the sides and corners, stained it and sealed the board. I also bought 4 #12 - 3 inch screws to screw this board into the studs in our wall. I marked the board’s center spot so I could match it up with the center of the hanging board. Using a bubble level tool, drill, measuring tape and ladder, I hung the backing board securely to the wall in the studs. Next was hanging the hanging unit to the backing board. This was the hardest part since I was doing this by myself standing on a ladder. I had to hold the heavy hanging board up to the place where it was going to be screwed to the backing board while trying to drill. Lined up the center of the board to the center of the hanging unit. Screwed in the top, middle hole first and then screwed in the other screws using the bubble level tool to make sure it’s balanced. Bam!!! Done!!! Best thing is, you get to hear, “Wow, thanks Mom!” Tips: •Find out where your studs are in the wall, that will determine exactly how long your backing board needs to be. •Try to put your hanging board in a place where you have enough room on both sides of the hanging board, not too close to a wall. You may require a little elbow room •Put your hanging board where you have enough head room for those pull ups. Also, too close to the ceiling will limit your finger room to grip the top. •I wish I made the backing board a little bit taller than 9” (just for the esthetics). So make sure you measure the height too, specially if you need the height to drill into a stud.

Or do I not buy something else along with it?** A: If studs don't align with the holes on the hangboard, you'll need support behind it. Plywood is probably ok (not particle board, for the same reason drywall doesn't work. It crumbles), but I went for a single solid piece. e.g., I used a 4ft long 12"x1" (actual dimensions are closer to 11" x 0.75" x 4ft). Screw that into studs for support, and then you can screw the hangboard into this piece of wood it wherever the holes are. Simple enough. **Q: How tall is it from the lowest point to the highest?** A: Approximately 9.5 inches. **Q: Does it come with the necessary bolts and t-nuts to mount it into the blank slate climbing trainer (after you drill the appropriate holes)?** A: I wouldn't recommend it. The included screws are long enough that they go all the way through the blank slate risking damage to the door frame, which is you are presumable trying to avoid if using a blank slate. **Q: Does the “assorted” option come with the wooden back board?** A: Don’t know we have ours mounted to a 2x6 at the top of a swing set. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We love our Simulator 3D! *by K***K on December 19, 2019* The Metolius Simulator 3D is a durable and well-built tool that is great for increasing your strength and grip.

I bought this primarily for my son to train on but as soon as I put it up and I started testing it out both my son and my wife wanted to try it and before we knew it we were challenging each other to try different holds and pull-up variations. We have very little climbing wall experience but this board definitely adds some spice to the old pull-up exercise. It is very easy to install, clear instructions and appears to be very well constructed. As to be expected, the surface is abrasive...not in a bad way, excellent for grips but I think it should toughen the hands in short order. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a change from the old pull-up bar and to increase their grip/finger strength as well as core training. ## Frequently Bought Together - Metolius Simulator 3D Training Board - Metolius Rock Rings 3D - Friction Labs Premium Sports Chalk for Rock Climbing, Weight Lifting, Gymnastics, Tennis & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/1357162-climbing-simulator-3d-training-hold](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/1357162-climbing-simulator-3d-training-hold) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
