Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a portable modular hanging and pulling system comprising a first and second bearing member, two coupling members, and a modular surface. The coupling members may be elongated U-shaped rigid support type structures. The first and second bearing members may be coupled at independent lengthwise locations along the coupling members corresponding to the left and bottom regions of the U-shape. The modular surface may be coupled to the coupling members at a lengthwise location corresponding to the right region of the U-shape. The modular surface may include a grid of at least four coupling recesses configured to releasable couple gripping regions including various shaped holds, hangboards, features, accessories, etc.
