very long eurohold infomercial, but interesting that AO rate volumes and big holds so high on a board. I don't, but as a relatively sane person I'd bow to Ondra's expertise.

Wow.. looks a mega board, would love that to train on. Wonder what the total cost of all those holds comes to.

I've got some of the EHs Dwarfs (https://euroholds.com/en/series-families/1023-the-seven-dwarfs.html) and some of the more bulbous offerings I've put fairly high up; you can't hit your knee on them that way (Barrows might try). They also stop that thing on boards where the last move is quite often big to a big(ger) hold.
I've also been looking at this set to try and squeeze a trickier circuit on the board (which twists from 30 to 45 deg.):

I'd also really love some of the Pusher stuff but given the amount I'm not climbing currently there's no justification for buying them; the classics range (granite and font) were excellent on the Foundry boards (RIP):

They do look perfect for a tricky-but-not-too-tricky knee...

Why is that? Sorry if I'm being thick, just don't get how that works.
I looked at buying some of them ages ago but if they're good I will reconsider.

Regarding the last move you mean? At 45° with them slightly turned they need a fair bit of compression (for me at least). The juggier ones are lower down.

Right got it, as in you can't just throw to them and cut feet etc. Sounds good.
Watching the Ondra video the distinction probably needs to be made between setting a decent size spray wall, I.e. what he's doing, and setting a board. I imagine he wouldn't approach setting an 8'x10' woody in his mate's garage in the same way.
