Why are there ropes on fingerboards?
I picked up a couple fingerboards from the pro shop, and hung them on the rafters in our basement. However, I have no idea what the ropes are for, unless someone might tie the boards to a tree. What are they for?
For reference: The manufacturer provides this guide for training with this kind of board.

It all depends on how you want to mount your rock rings. I mounted mine like this from a door-jam pull-up bar:
Though you could mount them like monkey bars, or any other way:
The idea, from a training perspective, is that if the rock rings are hanging from rope you have to expend more effort with your core to keep your body from swinging. And building core strength is important in climbing.
