Title: Board Share Directory
Post by: Monolith on June 19, 2007, 12:32:51 pm
Rather than stepping outside of the UKB medium, feel free to add your board here. For those who have already mentioned your boards - if you could take a moment to insert those details within this thread. In order to preserve the thread as a useful repository, try to avoid extraneous posts. Perhaps add some pictures or video shorts of your wench.  Hopefully, you'll find your training partner from heaven.

I used to think it was too when I couldn't do it. Now I can, I still think its hard 7c. Come on Lee, its not like he's claiming 8c is it  :shrug:

1-5-8 = 8a

I actually pretty much agree with your grades there Woz. Lee won't but he can only do the first one on the list so its immaterial  :'(

More worryingly than this nonsense, is that higher up this thread there's a man training on a board wearing socks and a watch. What. The. Fuck.

Pete Chadwick is the man wearing socks and a watch. It's his look and you better not confront him about it or else he'll crimp you to pieces. Funny actually, he was actually repremanding us all last night for not wearing socks  :lol:

i see what you're doing there, nice. my opinion is noted by nige. 1-4-7 is neither 7c+ or 7c what utter nonsense. grading campus moves, idiots. i won't be popping round woz, but you probably suspected that already.
 
Come on Lee, its not like he's claiming 8c is it 
what so that makes it ok to grade campus moves? i know gradings completely arbitrary but come on. i walked up a slight incline before, 2c i thought. then i carried a rather large bag up, my problem is whether to claim a bigger grade or just say i walked up the hill with a bag...
why can't people just say i did 1-4-7 instead of adjusting for a scorecard? beggars belief
remember nige i was there when you first did 1-5-8a. if you'd have dropped down and claimed 8a for it i would have beaten you with the barbell ;)

so i was just relaxing in the bath, maybe too distressing for some people, then it hit me "archimedes" i cried. then forced him off and told him to go downstairs. anyway i digress, the next thought was that you're obviously talking about using 3 or 4 fingers. what if you were to use 2 fingers? this is much, much harder than 3 or 4. then even mono's, i cannot right much enough times to emphasize the difference between mono's and 2 fingers. 2 fingers must be worth at least 2 grades more, with mono's, i won't even pretend to know about campussing on mono's, only that it brings a tear to my eye thinking about it.

Andy, that sounds scarily like you may attempt to legitimise a future attempt at donning the socks and watch. If you do, don't forget it needs to be an Argos 4.99 black plastic Casio job and Birkenhead market's own Hike brand of pop socks.

For fucks sake, I just heard this. Is it asbestos or something? And is that why I've had a chest infection since its inception?
Unbelievable, I'm close to tears.
Title: Re: Board Share Directory
Post by: Andy F on January 24, 2008, 09:10:10 pm
The chest infection is due to your dodgy student diet of cold kebabs and draughty bedsits. The fact the building is condemmed is due to it being rotten from the foundations up. probably.

Next tuesday is the last big session, all welcome.

I eat a healthy organic diet thankyou Andrew but granted sleeping on the department floor doesn't help!

I'd like to extend that invite to anyone wanting to come down. Will go for drinks in town after it if people are keen with the option of a spare room in my house and a space in my bed for any particularly strapping young lads ;)

If you can close a Captains of Crush #3, the latter part of that offer has already been cemented.

The building is being renovated, not demolished.  Should be though.

The board will be reborn.  It will be rebuilt, but this time harder, stronger and more powerfully.

We ain't gonna have time to get them out mate.  Priority is getting the holds and bolts out, maybe the panels if we can store them.  Hopefully the whole co-op should turn up on Tuesday to help strip it, except Donnelly who's getting drunk in Thailand at the moment.

We're on the case for a new venue.  It must be done.

This is probably no use to you but if you are desperate to find some storage for your boards until a new venue is found then I can offer storage for as long as you want.
The problem is I'm not especially near being in Tod (near Bridestones), but if you can get the boards over here I'll keep them for as long as you want.
Like I say probably no use to you, but thought I'd offer.

Spent most of last Thursday evening in a mates 'Cellar of shamefaced inadequacy' working on a virtual mirror image of my 'Shed of performance driven reticence'. He has the skeleton in place and we started boarding last week..Very soon you can expect the boards to feature here and, in the words of Admiral Akhbar, had he been a 'real' humanoid boulderer wishing to train in Menston, "the reports were incorrect, this is a fully operational death cellar...."

Then spent the last 5 minutes of the night first attempting to put screw a pozi 2 bit through my finger with some success, and then attempting to stem the flow of blood/tears whilst trying not to think whether I should cut off the resulting flapper, which had a substantial amount of meat attached. I obviously opted for a plaster. Out of sight etc.
Pictures to follow, of the wall.

Apparently the Menston work in progress, "Cellar of shamefaced inadequacy" has undergone a transitional namechange by order of the management, who, in light of data protection/anonimity, i will call 'Rimon Sichardson'. It is and will be referred to in future as "the Basement of furious topless abuse."

Wet Sunday afternoon, what to do?

Obviously increase the wifes displeasure by spending the time making additions to the wall.

So new features are:
Some holds (thanks Dylan)
The "Ladies" 5 degree wall (although the lady in question might be disapointed with the tiny crimps it is laden with...)
50% of the side wall (ran out of ply, arse...)

Check out these bad boy photos...

Nice Height on the 30. Are you extending further? How far do I have to imagine travelling? What tuneage can you offer? Refrigerator contents? Grade range and expected injuries? I need to know...
Title: Re: Board Share Directory
Post by: nik at work on May 05, 2008, 10:30:14 pm
There are plans to move it to a different room, and once in its new residence to add some more walls. I quite fancy having a steep (45ish) wall with a slab to rockover onto above it. Mind you the new room needs a new cement floor laying first so this aint gonna be happening next weekend.....

Location:
Todmorden

Fridge contents:
Pint and a half of full fat milk
A grape
A petit filous
A bottle of champagne

Tuneage:
most genres represented with a slight bias towards ambient featuring animal noises (especially frog croaks)

Grade range:
Whilst the middle region of the bell curve distribution of problems has had a cursory exploration the further reaches are currently untested

Expected injuries:
Altitude sickness if you make it to the top of the board
Title: Re: Board Share Directory
Post by: robertostallioni on May 05, 2008, 10:58:53 pm
What FLAVOUR petit filous?
Just google mapped Todmorden and it happens to be about 10 miles away. As the crow flies. And about 30 via more conventional means. Infact Todmorden looks to be the M62 antithesis of Slaithwaite. All roads lead to Rochdale by the look of things.
The top of that 30 looks proper nose bleed territory.

Tod would be a really convenient place to live if it had roads going to it and shit, maybe next year.

Your walls look like works of art, very impressive (if a bit lacking in height :)). Is there an online application form?

I've got a room with an 11 metre ceiling height so I'm toying with the idea of suggesting a lead wall to the wife. Just need to get my cahones insured first...

Oh and it's a strawberry petit filous, one of the ones with the layer of fruit mush at the bottom (and the grape is seedless if that matters)
Title: Re: Board Share Directory
Post by: robertostallioni on May 05, 2008, 11:32:25 pm
Bin the lead wall idea. Tank the bottom 2 metres....First of its kind, indoor shallow water solo. Extreme. I take it you own either a church or a Silo. Whilst the contents of the fridge sound more Dr No than Reverend Green I expect it is/was a place of worship. 
You're correct in your observations regarding shed height, but I have found bigger benefits from angle change transitions than sheer pull down height, the former of which you can rarely get at an indoor venue to any excess. And as Mr Jim Morrison famously said, "the road to excess leads to the Palace of fookin' burl".

this is another attempt! only a few holds so far, but they're nearly all the bleaustone training ones which i think are really good. Anyone living near Bradford on Avon and keen to train pm me (i have no friends).

I have built a small bouldering/training wall and am looking for someone to train with.

Anyone interested?

Just a quick heads up to the West Yorks/East Lancs training massive. The YWYTBTWWSNABFTB?IDIRFD as detailed below:
Name; "You wasted your time building that when we still need a bedroom for the baby? I despair, I really fucking despair......."
Location; Todmorden (just below Bridestones)
Steepness; 25 degrees, power monkeys need not visit....
Grade Range; Oh about half a dozen...
Size; 2.4m wide, 3.9m high (ish)
Vibe; This is my church, climbing is my god, kneel at my altar...
Pictures/Video;
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3048/2465000294_bfa4801876.jpg)
Other facilities: Punch bag, campus board, screaming baby, mental dog, toilets, shower, coffee, tea, TV, music, a wide selection of power tools.
Contact: Me.

Is now sporting a strong 40 degree look. I know this isn't as steep as the bumpy boys like it but it's still all the same holds as were on it when it was a 25, and lots of them were poor then. I'll sort out some up to date photo soon but it's an alternative plan if anyone gets rained off Bridies.

Oh yeah there's lots more holds on it than in that photo.

P.S. We still need a bedroom for the "baby" (who is now two and a half) :-[

I feel I have to post about my visit today with Matt to Broughton after we were rained off early in the Peak.

We warmed up on the resin wall jugs/flakes/tufas then set about the 20/25 degree slopey pinches wall which was lovely. Moved on to the 45 board and were impressed by the width which allowed brutal links.

We finished off on Sector 3 which had some truly awful grips and felt just like climbing at Rubicon  :thumbsup:

Keen for some more Broughton action this winter, just gutted it isn't in Liverpool  :'(

You fucking muppets.  After you texted I carried on and arrived in Hathersage at half ten; sun out with a nice drying breeze. Climbed for seven hours in at times near perfect conditions (especially after three when it clouded over a bit).  Hundreds of people out climbing at Stanage and you punters went to the wall.

As promised, some photos.

This side view shows how much steeper the board is, the missing area of the side panel is the increase in angle, obviously I'll be filling that in. The board might not look like it's quite 40, but that's a bit of an optical illusion, the "vertical" board to it's left is actually 5-10 degrees overhanging.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3434/4000667128_33ea98c95b.jpg)
And this is the leaning mass of the board, it turns back to a slab for the top 40cm or so. I was a bit worried that if it stayed as a 40 all the way up I'd be missing the mats if I fell off the top. Obviously the top needs boarding out but the existing board is still over 3.6 metres in length, more than enough to fit a few moves in (assuming I can pull on).

Davo, shame you missed the halcyon days of the dispensary and the lair (never called that but I always thought it seemed like a good place to take women back to). Awesome Walls have a great sized woodie and campus board that's been built and is awaiting holds. Various people around town with woodies/campus setups but you'll need to hang around street corners and look out for shifty looking 6 ft+ tendons to see the non commercial stuff. I aim to get a personal board when I move back over from Wirral but until then the wall it is. Welcome back to the promised land!

Thanks for the info. Checked out awesome walls yesterday after trying to get to Parisella's and finding a fule leak in my van. woodie downstairs looked like it would be good with some more holds on it.

The promised land!! That is the first time I have ever heard anyone describe Liverpool like that!!

On Fair! How come in Liverpool you get to have it unpainted and in Stockport we get to have a board painted by the local nursery?

Looks ace, the Stockport one is still unfinished.......
Title: Re: Board Share Directory
Post by: Richie Crouch on November 10, 2009, 10:07:07 am
Well a few of us basically veto'd/begged/harangued Dave not to paint it with a thick layer of paint(s) like it had on the previous board. It's just a thin single colour which brings out the wood grain a little and is a vast improvement on the last one (i.e. no spinning wooden holds and loss of friction).

It won't be quite as hard to spot the footholds too, due to the single colour as opposed to the bullseye on the previous board.

I don't quite get what you mean about it being unpainted though unless you were referring to the campus board which obviously stays free of paint  :shrug:

I thought the board looked un-painted (like a proper woody) as I could see the grain.

To be fair, the Stockport one is thin paint, not like the thick stuff on the current walls, it's just hideous. It's also been in a state of near completion for ages but it's never quite finished...... :'(

Which is currently being relocated, interesting to see in what state it will survive the transition to the new wall, apparently reopening Monday?  Aparently a steep board will be there in some capacity as well as hopefully the campus board, but I am pretty sure there is no longer going to be a separate 'cellar' membership.

Does anyone have a board in Didsbury/South Manchester way at all?

Been going to the Beastmaker board at Rockover but it's going or possibly gone now. New stuff to come upstairs there though I'm told.
That beastmaker board was amazing but apparently used by less than a handful of people.

Monolith, there's a board at Awesome Stockport. I've not really used it and it's no beastmaker but would be worth a try. It's £6 for bouldering only.

It's been re-set since this picture but it gives you an idea:

board share in Porthleven, Cornwall.
Sorry I can't help out Andy, I've sent you an email by the way.

Try asking at ClottedRock Climbers (http://clottedrock.ning.com/) as there seems to be a few Helston/Porthleven-based people on there. Or get in touch with the Combined Universities of Cornwall rock climbing club (http://www.fxu.org.uk/cucrockclimbing) - there must be some keen, strong students about!

You really should put some photos and a post about it on blocspenwith as that'll bring the commited boulderers out of the woodwork and I'll come over from time to time if it'll help.

When fit I usually frequent the Awesome Walls place at Logport... but the Depot chain are opening a branch in Trafford Park which I suspect will blow both RO and AW away (for both training and problems)...

Well none of the existing walls are as good as they could be (given the space of the venue's) so I'd have thought it would be an improvement if its as well thought out as the Leeds/Notts depot(s). Of the existing ones Logport is half and half, so the bouldering side lacks real estate.. Rockover has the wall area but ~ well, maybe its the layout, or the setting or I don't know what, but it just doesnt work for me..

Good luck I have been looking for a while and found nothing in the way of a board round here.


You are probably aware of the other local options but JIC see below.


Brookes wall is pretty good but no board. There is one in the plan for their new extension but it will only be 15degs and the chances are it will be used to set more problems rather than as a board.


The wall out at North leach is small but not bad (although it can get very grubby) but again no board.


There are a couple of artificial boulders as well.
There is  a big ugly rough concrete one down by the Kassam stadium which is often in a very poor state. There is also a smaller one out at Standlake which has a couple of good faces and is clean and in a pretty pleasant environment. I use the Standlake one often weather permitting  as it is just down the road from me.

Now things are a bit more relaxed COVID wise, if anyone every fancies board session in Skipton then let me know. Had some friend around last week and it made such a difference to the psyche so keen to open it up a bit more.

It’s a fairly easy board (up to about 7B-C maybe) and 25 degree overhanging. But I put a bunch of extra small holds (10/12/15mm flatties) on now and started doing more feet follows hands problems which is helping getting some harder problems set. Think with a bit more experienced people on it you could make some harder ones.

It’s just a small wall in a spare bedroom but we’ve enjoyed using it since it was put up. More holds added since the photo was taken.

Location: Skipton
Steepness: 25 degrees
Grade Range: Easy to 7B/C + 5 large campus rungs
Size: 2.3m wide, 2.8m length
Vibe: Chilled - dog will probably be milling around.
Other facilities: Tea/Coffee/Puppy Cuddles

I've just moved over Ilkley way to Burley in Wharfedale. Any boards near by? We have bought a house with no garage and it's taking longer to work out the best plan for installing one so out board is in pieces in the shed at the moment.  :boohoo:

Llanrwst, Conwy Valley
3.6m(W) x 2.5m(H), 27degrees

Obviously would be better if the dimensions were the other way around but useful for arse dragging traverses that seems to account for most of my boulder projects. I’m going to keep buying holds so happy to tailor the board to visitor demands. Separate building to house so pretty easy to come and go without annoying my wife.

If anyone ever finds themselves stranded in northern Germany wanting to board climb, hook me up.

Lucky enough to have a Moonboard and a 45 woody with a mix of wood and resin holds at home, plus small campus board and a bunch of weights etc.

P.s. How the hell do you post an image on here?!?

Upload your image to imgbb.com (other image hosting sites are available).

Copy the link it gives you for the image.

Start a new reply to this thread and click on the icon that looks like a picture of the Mona Lisa above the smileys.

This will put a little bit of code into your reply- the letters img in square brackets twice, the second one with a slash in front of it.  Paste the code from imgbb inbetween the two.

When you post your image should appear.  :thumbsup:
