Title: new foundry board
Post by: al on December 03, 2007, 01:09:22 pm

good effort all concerned - had a session on this last night and had an old school cellar-rush (ie: got whipped but enjoyed the process)

What is this board like now difficulty and quality wise? I never hear much about it. Would it be worth a session or will I just get demoralisingly spanked by it (not necessarily a bad thing I know).

i went once last winter and it was good. the main problem on first visit was finding all the tiny feature footholds. potential for some very good shit there.

It did look very good. Some nice little wooden holds etc. However, having not been for ages, I got distracted by the steep bit of the wave and spent my entire session on there.
