just an info:
tou said you space the rungs 9": that makes 22,5 cm.
i used to think, and i read it somewhere like in the metolius website, that usual spacing is 8", so 20cm.

is 9" a brit extravaganza for very strong people or did i just train wrong in tha last five years?

[chappers]

please post pics in the pictures part of your web page since the blog is considered "non educational" around these parts!

Oh no Nibile, you'll discover you can only do 1 - 4.8 - 8.6 !

The only solution is ritual hari-kari...

[unclesomebody]

from the little I know, 22.5cm is the industry standard. 22cm for those softies, and 23cm for beasts. If you've been training on 20cm for years then what can i say???   

[dobbin]

Keith, sure its 22cm. Will check at the board tonight. Where surely, these must be considered 'the' reference rungs. Everything else must follow.

[Fiend]

What about thickness of rungs? Surely that has to be taken into account!

[Nibile]

i think here in italy 20cm is more suited to our south-europe standard height...
its just to be even...

[Stubbs]

What about thickness of rungs? Surely that has to be taken into account!

 ??? Not if you measure from the centre of the rungs, ie where you're drilling your holes.

[unclesomebody]

Rung size makes no difference as long as you measure from the same point on each rung. You could measure top-top, bottom-bottom, or middle-middle. Clearly it would make no difference.

As magnificent as the School is, surely 'the' reference rungs are the Gullich originals in Nuremberg.  Does the Mother Board still exist? 

Did Gullich ever manage 1,5,9?

Whilst you guys are all dancing round on the head of that pin, 20cm 22cm 23cm Dont ya know that size is irrelevant (ish). This new place sounds a bit hardcore for the likes of lil' ol' me, I was just wondering if any other bouldering bumblies were intending to frequent Percy's padded playground or do you have to show your 1-6-14 credentials at the door.

Will there be any diet tango in the vending machines ? .... I need it because i'm WEAK!

[dobbin]

I believe Percival is providing for everyone, not just the strength obsessed losers (such as myself) who take delight from pointing out the differences in campus rung distance.

Turboman, good point - you can have that. I will bow to the might of the Gullich and accept that his campus board is both the original and better.

[dobbin]

and If you can do 1-6-14 I will buy you diet tango. For the rest of your life.

from the list of the first 50 paid up, it seems that only punters will be frequenting it (apart from Paul ofcourse).   

[Paul B]

im just hoping there will be some pockets, lots of pockets in fact,(There will be pockets right?) work that weakness....
although I do like the sound of these campus board footless circuits (who knows it might even pry strong ed out of the confines of the furnace.

[ned]

who knows it might even pry strong ed out of the confines of the furnace.

I really can't see that happening!

I'm also hoping there will be lots of pockets  - play those strengths!

New pics on website. I believe our campus board is industry standard. In fact, I believe it has just set the industry standard. And no more disparraging comments about 'punters' Keith, otherwise you will be sent to the extensive slab area where the punters will mock your lack of ability to campus to glory 

[Stubbs]

THe skip things look awesome - they will really open the doors for some ridiculous route setting, can't wait 

Those slopey campus rungs look a bit scary!

Hahaha!

Looking good guys, although I might have to switch my eyes to black and white when I visit.

[unclesomebody]

ha ha.. yes, slabs... I've only climbed a 7C+ slab so you are right! Look forward to getting down there... 

[Paz]

Where did you manage to find a 7c+ slab indoors?  You're telling me the school has one?

[unclesomebody]

  very good. I was told if you climb up the back of the 50 degree board it is 7C+.

[dobbin]

is it fuck. I have been up there many a time (in my role as caretaker) and its about 4+. The back of the 30 and even the 15 are an altogether different proposition. I think they merit an e grade as failure results in impalement on the backs of the screws.

[(woz)]

Is it just me, or are the set of rungs next to the black slopers about the width of a fingernail? Anyway, must go for a breather now - all these pictures of huge campus boards are making me stickydamp...

[Bonjoy]

They are inset slots. About 15mm deep IIRC
