I been getting into sport climbing. I have being doing tons of different endurance training but can only make it to the gym twice a week. I have a hangboard and metolius rock rings set up at my house and i Know they are designed to build upper body strength and finger strength. I was wondering can you use these things to build up endurance as well like seeing how long you can hang on to the jugs? Does that incorporate into endurance for climbing?

I can't really testify to the results of this, but one of my climbing buddies showed me his 'enduros', which involve moving constantly from hold to hold on the hangboard, with some of your weight removed with a strap, or placing your foot/feet on a chair. He sets a timer at 2 minutes.

I've had some luck with using a hangboard for endurance. Rather than simply see how long I can hold on, I do "repeaters," in which you basically do different durations of 6 seconds on, 4 seconds rest repetitions back-to-back, with weight added so that you reach total failure after a certain number of reps. Difficult to explain, but search around, particularly on the http://beastmaker.co.uk website, and you'll get plenty of information. Depending on how you do it, and how short your rests are betweent sets, it can help your endurance.
