I'll have to confess I was responsible for the blue dyno thing. Thought it was relatively safe when I tested it but it appears not so! Has the problem been people stretching their left foot across to a blue off the neighbouring problem, getting left hand in the pocket and then decking it greasing off for the last hold or from the actual jump from balls to disc? 

The idea was to just get the disc then campus up to the finish via the pocket.

Apart from that... I agree the set is a bit burly and dynamic and I already spoke to James and Tom about the screwons for the woody issue. I think Dave/Andy are getting some more in that can be used to get the board up to speed. I think the angles on the walls to the right are fantastic and the green volume is very good (on the right 45 board for linking everything).

[Jim]

leave the dyno in, just cos idiots throw themselves at it or that saltbeef doesn't jump doesn't mean some of us can't enjoy it responsibly.
Bouldering is not 100% safe, thats what makes it fun sometimes.
I thought the problems on the new bit were good, most of them quite hard but then again I haven't been climbing for ages.
The woodie seems good, need to number the holds and get a problem book. Don't plaster it with screw on's, it'll make it log.
Saltbeef was struggling with the jugs anyway

Only it was pretty minging by Wednesday last week, so will be a smeg fest now. Good set though Rich 

[tomtom]

I was there earlier today - and from a punters point of view I liked the new wall - some good easier stuff there and the harder stuff was not just smaller holds (as it can be on the older sections)...

good. the footers will help on that board. i agree the new wall is good. but as ru says 1 v8 isn't going to change anything. more 7a-7c please. as adam said that green hold was well smee. Jim, we did nearly all the problems, grow a memory! what are you going to do next time you're there? and your idea of training is doing stuff in your trainers until your goosed after half an hour!

[a dense loner]

if jim doesn't grow a memory he can do everything again for the first time. i've always wondered how can someone who is allergic to rest not be able to climb loads of moves?

[dobbin]

Dynos on a board? what? Surely there's enough surface in the rest of the wall of novelty problems?! Remember - you dont boulder for fun, you boulder for power. Jugs at the top mean you can lurch for them from miles away - small holds at the top mean you have to keep trying to the last, and have the added side affect of keeping aforementioned dynoing punter away.

Remember to forget Jim's screw on foothold advice.

[youngy]

Naa the dyno isnt on the board its on the concave wall next to the board

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

anyone got some links to some pics of the new board/s

[namnok]

There you go

[Tris]

There is also another section on the far end which is stepped (overhangs) that doesn't seem to be on that photo (or is well hidden). It has a nice blue mono problem on it.

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

There you go

does look pretty high although hard to gauge in the photo without the mats shown. Is it as high as sector 3 at broughton you reckon ste?

I have to say the issue of height never entered my head, even when doing the dyno. Now the temperature of the wall, on the other hand, was on my mind all the time.

[namnok]

looks steeper and slightly higher. it'll never be as gnarly tho

not been down personally yet, was gonna head down to meet jas but i went out to eat instead

[namnok]

isnt the same when you can't get a tan too eh? 

heating does seem to be a problem at stockport bouldering, ok till you're fully warmed up and ready to get on some harder probs

are we saying too hot or too cold? (hmm can indoor climbing be too cold?)

Too hot. I know i will avoid the place till it gets sorted.

[namnok]

too hot
definately not broughton in terms of climbing 6b+ in a down jacket

Feels higher cos you're leaning so far back, tho actually similar.

[robertostallioni]

Anybody on for some logport bloc action tonight? Or indeed Depot  tomorrow(after new prob setting)

[Jim]

saltbeef is down there, i may join him if I can get the house remortgaged

[Bernard Jefferies]

Is the going to the wall really that expensive these days!?

[Jim]

£7.50
I'm not on doctors wages

[robertostallioni]

Jesus, that place got busy. Spent a pleasant evening's ogling  on/off some well set high jinx.  Missing a trick with the new board, with no book/numbers, for you locals. Enjoyed following SaltBeef and Chris? round, as they showed me how to fall off most of the blacks.  . Will deffo be back next reset...

[Jim]

the bank declined my loan request so I couldn't join you
