The Bean – mini unlevel edge

Description

The Bean, our unlevel mini-edge is the ultimate lightweight, portable training edge designed for climbers who value simplicity and efficiency. Perfect for warming up or training at the crag, it’s a compact solution for those carrying minimal gear. With its sleek design and Dr. Tyler Nelson’s innovative Unlevel Edge, the Bean delivers big performance in a small package.

We’ve been designing a curved version of the unlevel edge to maximise the comfort for the most people. You can adjust your finger position on the edge, depending on your morphology. After dozens of edges, we found this one to be the winner.

Weighing only 64 grams and made from beautiful, durable Portuguese chestnut wood, the Bean is as sturdy as it is elegant, with a smooth, comfortable finish that’s gentle on the skin during extended use.

At the heart of the Bean is the Unlevel Edge, a game-changing feature designed to optimize finger training. Traditional flat edges often cause uneven stress distribution, with middle fingers bearing the brunt of the load. This imbalance can lead to injuries and impede strength development. The Unlevel Edge resolves this by placing each finger on a staggered tier, ensuring even load distribution and aligning fingers into a natural half-crimp position. This design promotes healthier finger joints, balanced strength development, and a reduced risk of injury.

The Unlevel Mini’s edge has a 25mm-30mm depth and a variable curved fillet of 5-15mm, providing exceptional comfort and thus improving effectiveness.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, building peak finger strength, or just getting ready for a climbing session, the Bean is an ideal tool for:

•Rehabilitation: A safer training option for climbers recovering from finger injuries.

•Strength Training: Enhancing finger strength in a compact, efficient way.

•Warm-Ups: Ensuring balanced finger engagement before hitting the wall or crag.

Compact, lightweight, and beautifully designed, the Bean makes finger training accessible, wherever your climbing adventures take you.

The Bean is design to withstand 100kg in static load. It should hold more, as the rope is giving support to the wooden element and itself is graded to withstand 4 kN in tensil strength.
