The good thing about a loft hatch is that the board is easily removable. You can push it up into the loft when not in use. If you plan to keep it there then just remember to leave enough space to walk underneath it. Mine's in the hallway but faces into my office. I can set the computer in the office up so that I can see the screen while I'm using it (iplayer, climbing vids, music, etc)

80% of the fingerboards on this thread look un-used!

I photographed mine straight after I'd fixed it up so, apart from a few test pulls, it was virtually unused. I imagine most fingerboard photos are taken in a similar moment of pride!

I would hazard a guess that 80% of finger boards sold are un-used. Until wooden boards, resin offerings were truly grim. I barely touched my old Rockworks version. It hurt.

Texture of broken glass version? Turd isn't it.

It was (someone took it away) the version with two metal hangers molded in to mount some form of assistance. But yes, it was made of broken glass and cement.

Mine's resin and I've never really had a problem with it, been playing guitar heavily since before my 8th birthday though so the pads of my fingers are solid anyway. Having said that, it feels slightly different to the new holds at a climbing wall which heavily rip the shit out of my hands  :???:

Agreed. Horrible texture. I glued my old rockworks one onto my board and tore my fingers to bits...
