The British climbing scene has always been one of admiration from this side of the globe. A rich history and unique characters make it well worth a look. UKClimbing.com released the following film this friday and not really knowing who Ned Feehally was I didn’t take a look until just now. I always appreciate a story of a local climber and their accomplishments. If that doesn’t grab your fancy, at least skip to 11.25 to hear Ned chat about the origins of the Beastmaker and share a little footage of how they make them. The Beastmaker has slowly become the hang board of choice over the past few years and those who have purchased one from overseas have said they are well worth the price. Now where can I find myself some beechwood?
