Hi,

I'm planning on building a woodie. Looking at 35 degree 10ft high(Inc 1ft kickboard 8ft wide 6.3ft deep woodie for home use. I boulder around 7A+ and sport climb 7c and would mainly use this to train for malham/kilnsey. I'm looking to get the holds as soon as possible due to convid-19 and was wondering which holds people would recommend? Thanks

In reply to Jackob:

Hard Wood Holds are probably my overall favourites - reasonable price, nice shapes (although the texture of some is  a bit slick).  

Crusher do more basic, cheaper holds, in regular symmetrical shapes - good for filling up systems style boards.  Perhaps a bit "nasty" but in a good way, especially if you are training for Malham - uncomplicated strength builders (maybe, ask Paul R if he can make you any of the "Rainshadow" undercuts he made for an aspirant for that route).  

All the Beastmaker holds I have are very nice, but last time I looked it was a limited range and quite pricey (especially for symmetrical sets).  But the few Beastmaker I have are the holds I tend to gravitate to (which either means they are great, or too nice and I should have bought less comfortable holds).

Silly Goat do lovely tactile holds - timber tufas etc.  Pricey but nice garnishes for a woodie, especially if you like slopers.
