Its bizaarely let me order despite the store being closed (I have no idea whats happening) so see what gives...Did you actually get click and collect to work. They don't seem to let me actually collect plywood. You can put it in your basket, it says its in stock, but every time I go to checkout they say its unavailable. I've tried a few combinations of sizes and stores, but nothing seems to work.

Considering adding a crack training section to my woody, do you guys think melamine would be too slippy to jam (it would be at approximately 35° overhanging and about 8ft long)?
I had a horizontal hand/wide fist crack for a while before a US trip, with the aim of climbing some classic hand cracks. Whilst it was definitely overkill for my aims, rocking up to a vertical hand crack felt steady, it might have been confidence more than anything else.
Think the Manc depot is >50 and the original Schoolroom board is around 53 so you’ll be in good company. Gonna be a pretty small board though, potentially a systems set up may be best?
Training for all those routes...?
An alternative is to only hang the verticals off the top beam and take them straight down to the skirting board. To create one uniform angle.
It’s only up for the lockdown/restrictions.. thems the orders!
I'm surprised by all these steep cracks. I'm not great at crack climbing, but I am not shit either. The only really steep cracks I can climb are those where I can get good foot jams (so from not-so-thin hands to hand-stacks). I can't fathom climbing ringlocks or rattly fingers at 30 degrees overhanging, unless there are some proper jugs to stand on – with feet in the crack (how?) I would not be able to do a single move. Are people just training hand jams? Surely anyone can learn to hand jam in a week or two?
Hi All, Just got the bits in to build my first home board! Got two sheets of 8x4 plywood and I am planning to do a 45 degree 8x8 board in the cellar. Have just finished clearing it out and giving it a sweep and have encountered the first problem. Can't get the 8x4 panels round the doorway and down the stairs in the kitchen!I am going to have to cut the panels annoyingly.So, what would you guys recommend, because I think I can fit them either way.Either cut into 4x4 squares, or into 8x2 strips?I ask because I presume that the ply provides a lot of stiffness to the frame (This is a free standing board).Cheers
