Thanks Chris. I can report that there are already 2 offwidths built and they're quite tricky! I was forced to put them in by the other directors... I have no choice.... honest!  :whistle:

I would imagine requiring a winning photo for this thread:  [url http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,5044.200.html[/url]

And the ability to do some of these: http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,15136.msg334082.html
