3 dedicated bouldering areas

Hi Dave,

Have you finalised plans for the bouldering? ie type of bouldering, angles, how extensive and will there be any endurance bouldering circuits

[Johnny Brown]

How high is the lead wall?

[Bonjoy]

Yes, and will you be re-employing Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich?







Sorry.

Hi Guys,

Three bouldering areas are planned- Area one will have friendly general angles (nothing to steep) but lots for everyone, 20m in length. Area two will be more of a training area with 30º and 45º boards, campus area, finger boards, pull up bars, dip stations, rings and the like. Area three will be on the top tier of the mezzanine, this will be predominantly steep roof climbing (5m roof).

Hope this helps,

Dave D.

Can't wait, it sounds awesome! (Sorry)

Hope the 45 and 30 degree boards are going to be large (plenty of width and height)

"Area two" 

The name already has a good ring to it.

apart from the obvious difficulties that I'll have trying to string more than 3 moves together without getting pumped, I think all this new wood and plastic is going to be enough to get me doing some routes

I am particularly looking forward to having a childish giggle when I find the hold featured at the right hand end of the banner ad - the one that looks like those "toys" that Stallion promotes
