Where did Wide Boyz actually come from?

The name has been around since 2010, so we're closing in on 2 decades...

Whilst many people know the origins, interestingly we get asked more and more about how and started climbing together? Where did Wide Boyz come from? and whether they're interested in repeating Century Crack!...which made us think, there are so many new climbers that have come about in the last 15 years, of course not everyone will know.

Wide Boyz started with an old school style Blogspot page, and what we can say is that for about 10 minutes 'Wide Boyz' was actually 'Pony Shufflers'.

The full story is on this week's Listeners Questions Podcast, which is found inside our inner crack community. You can sign up for free (first 7 days), and take a listen. There is also some other great chat in there from The Boyz.

Crack Of War always seems to be very popular, with battles going on long after the finals have finished and people have started to leave for the night!

The jams get more and more solid every year, we're going to need a Wide Boyz mechanical arm in a few years time if The Cracksters keep getting stronger and stronger πŸ˜…

Look at the size of that fist 😳

The Crack Fest trophy has become somewhat legendary over the past few years! So the big golden fist jam deserves a polish before being presented to the Crack King and Crack Queen!
