right,

i know the doors are open to one and all from the 3rd.....a sunday

and the 9th is the official opening day...... thats a saturday n'est pa?? not the sunday as mentioned above.

so, it's all open on this sunday.... but the big opening is on the saturday next...

yeah??

[GraemeA]

Just v nice food.

We don't seem to be doing very good with dates. Percy means that the forecast for Sunday 3rd December is shit. (not Sunday 9th December).

And the Premier Post on UKC should also say opening 3rd Dec (not 3rd October). This was was my fault.

Oh yeah Percy enjoy swanning around in Eindhoven, 'relaxing' while the rest of us deal with the onslaught on Sunday. Yer bastard.

[Nibile]

graeme,
sunday 3rd and sunday 9th december in same year?
too much work lately, i presume!!!
 

[GraemeA]

Yeah, we are doing too much, in fact we are all tripping out, I mean on Saturday I could have sworn that someone sent us a model climbing cow in the post 

[erm, sam]

I cannnot believe how excited I am about this wall given that I live in germany. Totally psyched for a visit when I am back at Christmas, I am really looking forward to it.

[Fiend]

Bregazzis sarnies?

Swank!

Fuck training, I'll go down there to eat - if you can't get fit, get fat!

[Fiend]

Yo, what's the likely opening time Sunday AM? Weather is looking appropriately gash and I'm thinking of getting down there before the queues...

[butters]

10 AM is the opening time AFAIK - 1 day 23 hours and 38 minutes to go - just wish I was able to go there and climb but I will have to make do with just a visit to have a look and dream and eat cake and drink coffee.

 You picked the right day to open the wall. From mwis peak forecast:

Sunday
Southwest veering westerly, in
the range 40 to 60mph, gusts 60
to 180mph.
Very severe winds will make
walking very difficult where
exposed. You could be blown
over. Sever wind chill.
Periods of heavy rain
At best heavy squally showers
with hail and perhaps on highest
areas, snow. At worst, periods of
heavy or torrential rain

!!!
Good omen

Word. Sounds about right. You'll be able to do more bouldering than batty though - what are you two like!! You can come and heckle me in my cold-weakened state....

Can't figure out what is going off to the right hand side on that pic Chris - has a person with a head shaped like a guitar invaded the stage or is the guitarist getting a blow job from a groupie and trying to hide the fact?

Knowing Cameo, I expect he's gettin' down!

[MattH]

I believe that the opening hours this Sunday are 10am until 8pm.

[dobbin]

Wow. It looks fab. Even in a week loads has been done. Amazing. You guys be careful this Sunday! they have icepacks on sale though, so when you blow a fuse get yourself in the shop. It looks like a real climbing wall now. Tres cool. 

Check out the big purple dobbin jug at the top of the board. I am immortal! 

Hotspot installed and tested ok. Few tweaks to finish and thats your lot.

[Bowie]

went for a look today - fantastic! there must of been 50 people in there and it didn't look half full.
coffee was good (with a special trip to find decent milk that frothed!)
sandwich v good
wall looked awesome - standing at the back of the comp wall and looking out made me pumped. and i was only holding a coffee cup.
the campus board is sick.
great atmosphere - people really psyched to play on the problems.
and its all so clean, no dust, no old matresses, good temperature!
maybe in the new year my body will work enough for me to play on the slide/kids circuit!
good effort 

[fatdoc]

OMFG

welcome to an awesome facility

it really is the best wall i have ever been on, the circuit concept works just SO well. went out with a beginner - was bouldering with my kids, some schoolies, my mates - and we all could climb on the same piece of wall and had just the best time.

This place defines indoor climbing without ropes for the future - and I for one will be there.

Thankyou climbingworks.

Nearly everyone I have climbed with in the last 20 years was there, no elitism, no cliques.

I feel so happy, in fact i feel stoned !!!

BTW, its my birthday! One hell of a day...... never forgotten.

[Dr T]

happy birthday fatdoc

[Paul B]

Went down to just have a look, ended up scrounging boots and chalk in order to climb!

The problems that I tried were very interesting and pointed at a severe weakness in technique 
Will be down tomorrow to try things out some more (and hopefully get some work done in the breaks although i doubt it.)

Good effort to all those involved getting the place open. 

--Oh an the campus board is great, lots of fun to be had.
