  • A 1-inch birch wood dowel rod is a simple, low-cost tool used to increase the grip and wrist challenge during rowing, curling, and other pulling exercises. By gripping the dowel instead of a smaller handle, climbers create a longer lever and a larger gripping surface, which increases demand on the wrist stabilizers, forearm muscles, and finger flexors. This makes it useful for training wrist control, grip strength, and forearm endurance in movements that carry over to climbing. The pack of 5 provides multiple units for clinic, gym, or home use.

  • The TheraBand Hand Exerciser is a soft rubber squeeze ball used in hand, finger, and forearm rehabilitation to restore grip strength, dexterity, and range of motion following injury. Available in multiple resistance levels — from Extra Soft (Yellow) through to Extra Firm (Black) — it allows progressive loading through a full squeezing motion with consistent resistance throughout the range. For climbers, it is a useful early-stage rehabilitation tool for finger and pulley injuries, returning grip function after periods of immobilization, and addressing forearm weakness during recovery. It can also be heated or cooled for use alongside hot and cold therapy protocols.

  • TheraBand's 41-inch loop bands offer significantly more resistance than standard flat therapy bands, making them useful for full-body strengthening exercises and advanced rehabilitation work. The 2-pack Easy set includes a Light (15 lbs) and Medium (25 lbs) band, each made from durable natural rubber latex that maintains its elasticity with daily use. For climbers, loop bands are practical for assisted pull-up progressions, hip and glute strengthening, shoulder loading, and lower extremity rehab exercises where higher resistance is needed than flat bands can provide.

  • A tennis ball is a softer, more forgiving alternative to a lacrosse ball for self-myofascial release and soft tissue mobilization. The slight give in the felt-covered rubber makes it better suited for sensitive areas or for climbers who find a lacrosse ball too firm during early rehabilitation. For climbers, tennis balls are commonly used for plantar fascia rolling, gentle forearm and hand release, and suboccipital work at the base of the skull where a harder ball may be too intense. They are also useful for grip and hand coordination exercises during finger rehabilitation.

  • The Resilient Climber teaches climbers how to assess and improve the strength and mobility behind 40 essential climbing movements. Using movement challenges, corrective exercises, and structured programming, it provides a practical system to enhance performance while minimizing injury risk. Inside You’ll Find:

    • 40 key climbing movements broken down in detail
    • Challenges that assess your ability to perform each movement
    • Targeted exercises to address mobility and strength limitations
    • Guidance on integrating exercises into a structured routine
    • Strategies to build resilience and reduce injury risk
     
  • The Resilient Climber Course is a 12-week program designed to help climbers improve the strength, mobility, and movement capacity behind key climbing techniques. Created from the concepts in The Resilient Climber book, this course gives you a structured way to assess your movement, choose focus areas, and build resilience through targeted training.

    Inside the course, each section guides you through climbing movements, self-assessments, exercise progressions, and foundational routines so you understand what to work on and how to train it. You will learn how each movement should feel, where common limitations show up, and how to use the exercises to improve your capacity over time.

    Whether your goal is to improve climbing performance, build resilience, or reduce injury risk, this course provides practical instruction you can apply directly to your climbing and training routine.

  • The Resilient Climber Videos are an exercise library of over 250 videos designed to help climbers improve the strength, mobility, and movement capacity behind climbing techniques. Created as the companion to The Resilient Climber book, this series can also be used as a standalone resource for climbers who want clear exercise instruction and guided movement training.

    Inside the series, every exercise is demonstrated in detail so you can understand exactly how to perform each drill, what it should feel like, and common mistakes to avoid. Whether your goal is improving climbing performance, building resilience, or reducing injury risk, these videos provide practical instruction you can immediately apply to your training.

  • The TheraBand Soft Weight Ball is a 4.5-inch vinyl-coated weighted ball designed for isotonic strengthening exercises in rehabilitation and training. Unlike dumbbells, the ball shape allows for a natural, functional grip and can be used for unilateral or bilateral exercises, thrown against a rebounder for plyometric work, or held during rotational and shoulder movements. For climbers, it is useful for shoulder strengthening and scapular stability exercises, rotator cuff loading, and upper extremity conditioning work where a compact, easy-to-grip weight is more practical than a dumbbell. The 3.3 lb Red version is a practical starting point for most upper extremity rehab programs.

  • The Tindeq progressor 200 and 500 are encased in a sleek, lightweight, and robust ABS enclosure, featuring a state-of-the-art USB-C rechargeable battery. Compatible with both iOS and Android. Fully Rechargeable.

  • The TRX GO is a lightweight suspension training system that anchors to any door, beam, or overhead structure for use in bodyweight exercise. It is one of the most versatile tools available for climbing-specific rehabilitation and strength training — allowing you to modify the difficulty of any exercise simply by adjusting your body position. For climbers, it is useful for scapular stability work, inverted rows, push-up progressions, single-leg balance training, and core exercises that require controlled loading through functional movement patterns. The full kit includes the suspension strap, indoor and outdoor anchors, and a mesh carry bag.

  • The Bowflex SelectTech 552 replaces 15 separate dumbbell pairs in a single compact unit, adjusting from 5 to 52.5 lbs per dumbbell with a quick twist of the dial. For climbers, having access to a full range of dumbbell weights at home makes it practical to follow progressive strengthening programs for the shoulder, elbow, and upper body without needing a gym. The ergonomic non-slip handle and locking plate system keep the weight secure during movement, and the included storage trays keep the setup tidy when not in use.
