So I certainly know what a hang board is but what are the two green dots below the pictured board ^. Just curious, thanks.

That's the best definition I've heard yet. It should be incorporated into the rc databse.

You should definately build up significant endurance (traversing, etc) before subjecting your tendons to a hangboard.

those are holds. lapis lazurri has two holes with preinstalled nuts so you can screw on regular climbing holds.
