What a gem of a human. Hope he never quits

He's a top bloke that's for sure 💪

loved the phrase "climbing through the grades" but for sandpaper grit, ha!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Poetic 👌

That analog picture with the three eagles is one of the most incredible photos i've ever seen

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

It's pretty unbelievable 👌

[@jamesboughen9682]

Thanks pal! I waited a long time in the blistering heat for them to form Like that haha

[@MgCO3climbing]

@@jamesboughen9682 Hey Jim - gorgeous work! Are you currently accepting orders? Is there another way to get in touch with you to discuss making an order? Thanks!

[@muscularibuprofen69]

Good to see little bubbles of life within the UK climbing community rather than just the top pros climbing hard stuff. Both are great but I'd love to see more of the former. Fantasic stuff as always!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! I'm definitely keen to do more stuff like this 💪

[@teodorrt]

Seriously this channel is getting better and better, video quality , cinematography ( hard carry of the channel in my opinion btw ) ,topics, climbs . Amazing work guys!!!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks so much!

What an absolute lad. I’m very fortunate to have him as a mate and really cool to see him getting some exposure. Even better to see all the positivity in the comments too

Not only is he great at making holds, he's been really cool in the small artisan wood hold making community online as well.

[@theklain2133]

Such a nice dude! Love to Ben too! Rest in Peace Ben!

Big respect for the shirt, RIP Ben

[@MothmanBurrus-wk5co]

I come back here every so often to get excited about different wood types for holds.

[@cadencampbell5684]

What a guy, and what a way to highlight this lovely story and bring attention to the beauty in natural materials, slow processes, and climbing

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks!

[@kavali6320]

What a profound guy. He combines art and craftsmanship with so much dedication and attention to detail. Analogue photography fits his style perfectly. Updates of his work would be welcome ;)

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Glad you enjoyed it!

What a guy

[@hyau23]

Jim's holds are the nicest looking holds out there. Blessed to own and climb on some he's shaped. I've watched this video multiple time, wish it was a longer. Big fan of these kinds of vids where we get to know people in the climbing sphere and it's not just sends (obviously love those vids too). Would be cool to get vids with Henry at Lock holds or maybe Contact holds or Jules from Smash holds as a contrast the wooden hold making? Possibly future vids with Ash climbing, bomb proof, core climbing or a climbing clothing brand? Psyched to get on the board now

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

@@hyau23 thanks so much! I'm glad you like this style of vids, I've definitely got plans for more in the future 💪

[@sethblanchard4829]

This is so lovely and I’m grateful to see behind the scenes of some beautiful holds
