Ha ha I was playing silly jokers.  That ugly git is me. :D

Anyway, the system board was put up six weeks ago and it has been brilliant.  (it's 50^ overhanging if you wondered, and there's a roof section at the top too Dave)

Simon's holds are awsome, all really finger friendly, but still with plenty of friction.  I'd totally recomend them if you want to set up a sytsem board, not only does it help build strength, but it's really helped with body tension and body co-ordination too.  Also, they're really good value for money, and Simon seems to be able to make any size or shape you'd want.  Is there anything bad about them?  I don't think so.
