YYFY!!! (Read 2102983 times)

Thanks guys, lots of hard work and monetary investment, but I think it will be worth it.

Nibile, you were part of my inspiration. I remember a long time ago you said that you built yourself a wall and it changed your life. So I went for it.

But look at him now pyrosis, a lawyer that climbs 3 times a year

Cheers Pyro, that's very kind of you, and I'm happy to know I helped you in some way.
But I only built a 4x4 meters flat board, not a wall that's better than most Italian commercial climbing gyms.
I hadn't understood that it was a home wall!!!
Ok, ok, yours is bigger.

amazing work.
You'll have a lot of fun and you'll improve massively.

Thanks man, but to be fair the centerpiece of the arrangement is the 4x4 meter 45 wall in the left of the pic, probably quite similar to yours I'd imagine. The rest is just bonus

And yes I am having a lot of fun so far, the only problem seems to be finding decent warmups :D

Pyrosis that is immense, well done! Many good times to come I sense for you!

Had a 9am weekly weighin with a pal for the past few weeks to get down to Johnny G style weight. Been peeling away a pound or two each week but an intense virus lost me 5lbs this last week. YYFY, made up!

Not like you didn't have any room to make a near vertical bit? Great construction, how much do you charge for membership?

Mono, this happened to me. Don't underestimate how much a virus affects you. I took me a few weeks to get over it, you don't want to be getting into the area of post viral fatigue.

(I felt light, so could hold small (for me) holds but had no oomph - put it all back on now though!)

Pyrosis, I seem to have the impression when you do something, you do it well. That is the most impressive home wall I've ever seen.

Thanks mate, now I can't wait to get off work to go home and train!

I always wonder is that the Church of Lost and Found Left Hand in your profile pic?

That is the one, good eye my friend. And - there is a near vertical bit, i guess I just have to be satisfied with shorter warmups as its only 8' high there. As I'm 6'2 this is like two moves from the sit to the top

Cool piece of rock. I only did RH version, I had a badly knackered ankle so didn't fancy higher crux on LH. Also did a new prob up middle of wall opposite, but it never made it into the guide

SA Chris · February 28, 2014, 08:55:23 am

Aurora last night, get in. Looks like gme got some amazing pics, mine are OK, but battery died!

GCW · March 01, 2014, 10:36:23 pm

First time on rock in ages (two years??) and I did a damp 6b and 6c, and was soooo close to 7a in a session. Bloody crap.

I felt super drained for several days after galpinos - You're quite right about feeling fatigued.

Managed to keep my weight at the low just about but going to get re involved with training on Wednesday.
