In many senses of the word, I had my best year in a long time last year. I think it was the first time in many years though that I failed to put goals down in the UKB thread. I'd like to build on the below: Early in 2023 I wanted to commit to a daily habit that I thought I could stick to for...

Just a wee heads up to anybody keen to explore whisky cask ownership; I’ve spent the past two years solidly working away at expanding my company with this facet being a key component. Rest assured I’m not positioning it as “cask investment” but am looking to sell casks to those keen to own good...

Please can somebody point me to a weight belt with chains that are actually substantial. Many of Amazon’s offerings look like you could take a high E grade for dangling substantial kg over your feet.

I have a (hot pink, meow) Blubber and think it’s awesome. I’ve so far used it to cover two Grivel mats which don’t exactly have the best foam but I got two for £50 or something daft brand new. Also good in covering my old knackered Black Diamond. I really wish they would reissue the Metolius...

I wouldn't be surprised if Danny Cattell had finally jacked the delivery job and set this up.

I think it's a great initiative. You'll be able to buy a hat made from the undies I was wearing when I climbed The Edge Problem soon. Link in bio, like and share, tweet about it, follow me on Insta, subscribe on Youtube, tell someone on the bus. 1 entry per action.

I thought there was a topic on this a while ago but couldn’t find it. I just wondered what the best options are in 2022? Happy to consider all budgets up to say £300.

Amen to this. My opportunities to climb outside with any level of consistency are few at the moment with two very young children. I avoided any entirely wooden holds-based set on my home 45 board and opted for a hybrid of wood and plenty of resin holds. I figured this would permit my skin enough...

Sounds like a session well spent, good work! I'm keen to revisit it and try to get more action going on with the left foot as the way I've been trying it is definitely a harder proposition I think. Chris D kindly sent me an image of when he first did it and he seemed to be getting some good foot...

Thanks for the notes all here. I couldn't get any sort of heel toe to work so was keeping feet directly beneath me on the ledge edges and ultimately going right hand up to the pocket through swinging my foot out to the right. Managed to make a good mockup on the home board so will give it a...

Thanks for the heads up, it was mint yesterday. I finally got on Delta Force though didn't do it. Are the holds circled below all in? I wasn't sure if the pocket was duos for each hand and then jump to the jug or whether you can have pocket for the right hand, a hold out left for the left hand...

Does anybody know the current state of play at all?

I was too slow to move in getting one of these when back in stock via Banana Fingers and Epic TV. Is anybody aware of any other sources in the UK to get one? Cheers.

Thanks for the shoutouts all, much appreciated. That link doesn’t work sorry but think I’ve found what you’re referring to. Adam, I don’t manage to get outdoors with the frequency I used to and find that resin holds keep my tips quite ‘rock fit’. I also prefer resin holds by and large.

I’m in the market for procuring a number of two finger resin pockets. The only ones I’ve found up to this point seem to be the Bleaustone set; this comes with 2, 3 and 4 finger pockets (2 of each in a set). Does anybody know of any manufacturers that sell these individually at all?
