The Story Behind Our Limited Edition Purpleheart Hangboards

The Story Behind Our Limited Edition Purpleheart Hangboards

Sometimes, something special comes along completely by chance. That’s exactly how our Limited Edition Purpleheart hangboards came to be.

On a recent visit to a local timber yard, we spotted a small offcut of Purpleheart — a rare and stunning hardwood known for its rich, deep purple hue. We instantly knew it had the potential to become something incredible. But here’s the catch: there was just enough to make 10 micro portable hangboards. And when it’s gone — it’s truly gone.

To bring out the vibrant colour even further, we gave these boards a unique treatment: they were gently cooked in an oven for an hour. We don’t coat or treat our boards with chemicals or oils — we want to preserve the natural feel and grip of the wood that climbers love. The oven bake brought out that deep, bold purple in a way that keeps the surface pure and skin-friendly.

These hangboards are crazy exclusive — we don’t expect to come across Purpleheart like this again any time soon. And to make each board even more personal:

  • We can customise pocket depths to suit your training style — just drop us a message!
  • Want something extra special? We’ll add any laser engraving to the back of the board, completely free of charge.

If you’re looking for something that’s truly one of a kind — a board that will turn heads at the gym or the crag — this is it. Once these 10 are gone, that’s it.
