Bouldering on plastic is great when you don't have to drive more than 15 miles. Loud music, pizza, a heater and plenty of booze always makes for a great night of plastic bouldering.

Plastic gets you stronger, lets you climb more often, and lets you climb when the weather sucks... for all those reasons it rocks. On the other hand who has ever out done God?

I like the texture and the creativity of the voodoo holds, but they spin more than any other type of hold that I've encountered. However, this is easily remedied with a set screw.

hmmm that makes sense. My wall is textured all-to-hell so they stay put pretty well. I like stoneage holds a lot too but they need some new shapes. Nicros is starting to make some cool stuff but teir texture gets me a little rough handed.
