Beastmaker 2000 records?
December 26, 2011, 09:52:12 pm
First of all i must compliment the makers of the board for a very nice fingerboard, the best i ever tried! I also have a petit brother entrepris board that i have trained on (not continosly) for 15 years. The beastmaker is much better but the slopers (45) is very elusive and narly at the same time! I cant hang on them without nesting, but i feel they are just possible ;-) A record page with all of the "real beasts" records should be of great benefit and motivation,  Cheers Jonas.

I have searched the forums here but failed to find what im looking for...

Ps. excuse my english, im swedish ;-)

Similar thread here although the article it links to is no longer on the Beastmaker site, but is mirrored here (the 3-2-1 article for reference[/url]).

Thanks!! It was somthing like that i was looking for. I must say that the gradereferences must be rather of or me and my pals (who have bouldered up to 8A+) must be very weak in comparison  :-\

Board grades are always sandbag!

Yes ofcourse, but the grades must be in the same ballpark or they lose their purpose...

Not if ability-to-do-one-armers-on-fingerboards doesn't correlate well with climbing ability. I find one arming various holds on the beastmaker quite easy, and climbing rocks quite difficult. Other people are the other way round....
