It simulates the rock, and there is no berrer explanation than the photo. You hang that thing to a wall and start pulling.

Look at it as a more suffisticated pull up bar. You will do pull ups on it but instead of holding a bar you will use different kinds of grips. There are many kinds of boards out there by many companies.
Do a little research before buying one.
Hope that helps,

If you dont want to spend the money you can do pullups with only your fingers. Saves me 70 dollars.

yeah doorjambs work well.
i'm no expert, but you may wanna look up some older posts, it seems like a lot of the older climbers here say you can do some serious tendon damage as a novice trying to use one...
