About us

Born out of a passion for climbing and a deep commitment to sustainability, we created Crakd to contribute to improve climbing training tools. As climbers ourselves, we’ve had first hand experience of the toll that training can take on the body, particularly on the fingers. 

That’s when Crakd came to life—a hangboard designed not only to improve finger strength but to protect your hands from strain by adapting to the unique length of each finger. Our ergonomic holds distribute pressure evenly across your hand, reducing the risk of injury and ensuring climbers of all ages can keep doing what they love for longer.

Our mission goes beyond climbing. We’re environmentalists at heart, committed to creating products that align with our values. Our hangboards are made from sustainably harvested chestnut wood, and crafted with care in Portugal. Crakd is our way of merging our love for climbing with our dedication to the environment and animal welfare. We’re here to help you train, protect your fingers, and reduce your footprint.
