Damn. Now I want some.

[Bradders]

You can never have too many holds...

[teestub]

They look lovely!

[Yossarian]

We had (semi) confirmation re our timber order this week so fingers crossed construction will start soonish - yay!

Have UK peeps lined up for some new smaller wooden holds, but wondered if anyone have any good / bad experiences of Euroholds?

Daughter wants some nu-skool chunky sloper / volume action and their ones seem relatively good value. They also have some nice looking 20cm wood domes...

[Bradders]

Euroholds?

I don't think they're in the UK, so delivery might take a while? No idea how international shipping is doing tbh. Sure I saw a comment somewhere saying they were taking weeks for an order.

[Yossarian]

Yeah, I think they’re in Spain.

We can start off with my early 2000s Holdz and various wooden things, and then add the big blobs later.

European shipping seems to be better than domestic currently... Had an order from Holland delivered in 2 days and still awaiting a parcel from the UK ordered on the same day. Possibly just lucky and depends upon which depots your parcel has to pass through, I wouldn't write off ordering something from continental Europe though based on my experience last week.

I bought from them. Arrived fine and quick. Wood is pretty rough on the jugs I purchased but fine for what I wanted. Also bought some footholds from them.

Got boards on mine last night, holds due tomorrow

💪🏻 Looks like a 40 there FBSF2?

Pleased with today's progress. Finally got a call from Wickes yesterday, saying the C16 planed edge wood was out of stock, but I could have treated. Hmm, ok. Only been waiting 10 days. Come tomorrow they say. Drive 35 mins to Wickes, shut Sunday. Cunts.

Went round the back, heard some music. Shouted, no one came. Gate open. Hmm, I'll see if the store-man is in. Wander round. Young guy doesn't seem to know how to handle a random guy appearing on a Sunday. Supervisor turns. "What are you doing here? How did you get in, we're closed, you are breaking and entering and I need to ask you to leave sir" 

Right, well, so, your colleague phoned YESTERDAY to say our stuff would be ready by 9am TOMORROW. Not MONDAY. Can we have it pleaser. Oh, well, err, it's Sunday. "yes, but then I'll need to drive back tomorrow, can you not just cut down another trip by letting us have it today? I'm ever so sorry about my intrusion through your open gate"...

[mrjonathanr]

That looks ace.

[tomtom]

Superb. Great to have all that height to work with!

[JJP]

Walls are looking great!

Re the Euroholds, I am pretty sure it is their wooden campus rungs up in the Glasgow TCA propstore and I think they are really nice.

Bradders - pretty sure I have a couple of Hardwood Holds similar to those on my board and again are nice.  Slopiest thing I have are resin "dome/ ball" type holds which I find difficult and am always tempted to latch on the thumb.

Think its 45deg, got some plywood jugs on last night for first ascent just as it started raining! Had to limit it to vertical height 2.4m as you land in a hedge if its any bigger and you can see it from a path so was aware of planning restrictions of temporary structures in my area!

[Lopez]

Where can i buy those support branches?

[Duma]

😂 😂

[tomtom]

😂 😂

Superb. I hope those were there to wind up PaulB

[SA Chris]

I was going to ask if those were load bearing twigs

[Paul B]

Like I said, I've had a crisis of faith. OSB FTW is my new motto.

Now I know the S in RSJ stands for sapling 😂

[Fatboyslimfast2]

Man you should of seen the stuff we built in the 80's, ramshackle bodged and for a large part stolen materials. Paul B would of had kittens over the supporting structures. Also fetid cellars were not conducive to maintaining lung function, don't know about c-19 but a session in my old ecclesall rd cellar would leave me wheezing like a 90 year old

I'm nearly done, and my two bits of 20 x 200 have arrived for the crack machine!  We've got the bottom two sheets of ply in place, but the top one is going to be tricky to fit, being 2m up and weighing a fair bit. Any tips? We're thinking of fixing some cord somewhere just above the centre of gravity, and hoisting it most of the way into place. Any better ideas?

Oh, and really, REALLY try to avoid Wickes for ply. My god this stuff is so shockingly bad quality. The edges aren't even close to straight, there are huge holds and tonnes of filler.

[SA Chris]

I used 2 ratchet straps slung from the top of the board, but my distance was a lot less. Lifting by rope is a sensible idea, could use a jumar if you have one? Or even a gri gri?

That's how I put mine up. I had two gri-gris & pulleys / prussics rigged from above in a 3/1 mechanical advantage. You might get away with just grigris if you're strong or there's two of you.
