It's funny to think how the smallest things can change the game. Tension's Flash Board, born out of necessity, arrived at crags across the planet a few short years ago to guarantee a warm-up when the crag was just too bullet-hard to provide it.

After travel induced lapses in training and many climbing sessions undermined by a lack of good warm-ups, Tension started tinkering around with a solution. That was the birth of the Flash Board. The compact, cylindrical design makes the Flash Board light, easy to pack, adjustable, and extremely resistant to rotation. Hang it from a pull-up bar, a sturdy tree, a bolt, or pull against the resistance of a solid object or your own foot! This is one tool you don’t want to be without. Just don’t pack it in your carry-on luggage…the TSA doesn’t love that.
