  • Wide Boyz build more training facilities to train on before their up coming crack climbing trip to America. Ollie Torr makes a guest appearance without realising what he's getting himself into.
    They build a new finger crack and ring lock crack and dig in with their first session just a few weeks before leaving.

    I love that we've got two coaches taping Pete's hands into little lobster claws so he doesn't cheat - not something I ever thought I'd see - but I'm glad I did! Haha amazing stuff as always.

    If they're untreated wood of course. I just put my wooden holds in the compost bin when I'm done with em. Mainly from the outdoors wall, wooden holds kept indoors keeps a long while. :)

    That board looks like tetanus is the booster shot you need ;)! Best part was the "oh no, what happened??" - "It's still hard!" ;)
    I am thinking of putting up some wooden cracks in a roof (42-43°) and wanted to ask for tipps/advice. The boards will be ~15cm deep and relatively smooth... should I tape them? Any must-have widths (I have around 50cm in width to set up different cracks and a few meters in length)? I am a total noob and (unfortunately) not my own roof, so I could only train there a few times each year... Would be grateful for any help/advice!
