That picture makes the fingerboard look evil!
Reminds me of a gorilla’s nostrils!
LOL :)
they are nasty though - I will say that about them. But they get you STRONG!
Ha that the same fingerboard i got. They great but would rather climb for real.
Is it a one day event or what? cause i up north that weekend anyways.
I have the Pure Force, the smaller model.
I may have access to a ’simulator’ (isn’t that the one pictured), that could be for sale. It’s hung on a wall and really never had much use. Anyone interested? What’s the going rate?
@Robin: yep, it’s a Simulator (And actually the one that’s in the climbing gym in New Zealand, although I own the same one myself :) I paid about €80-€100 if I remember correctly…..
@Jack - it starts Friday evening and runs until Sunday. I actually don’t know what the situation is regarding just turning up for a day. Email IrishClimbingCoaching and ask Nigel what he thinks…..
And yes, you’re right ‘real’ rock is way more fun, although you get to enjoy real rock more when you’re stronger :)
