Alighty, we have some fun new things for you all today. I set a new traverse with awesome new tape that Adam picked up last week! Check out the pic below or just come in and see it for yourself (the name might give you a hint). This traverse is a bit longer than its predecessor (white tape w/ black squiggly). It's a' Me! Mario! begins at the narrow arĂȘte wall by the gym entrance door (now with a new route), wraps around the first arch pillar then finishes where the old traverse also finished, or visa versa. The extra length makes this V3 traverse pretty pumpy but that's what makes it fun! If you'd prefer you can cut under the small arch and trim off about a dozen holds form the problem for a shorter warm up experience. It's your climb! Put in what you want to get out of it!
Like A Cat is the new route on our wall previously used for speed climbing. This wall is the closest section of wall to the gym entrance door. Please, if you plan on climbing this balancy arĂȘte-with-a-side-pull make sure your belayer is in full control of the brake line and fully alert! The anchor at the top of this route is NOT double-wrapped and will not aid in slowing down the climbers descent when they fall or are being lowered! Spread the word too. This is a fun wall with a realistic, outdoor style belay anchor (cold-shuts) at the top instead of a steel cylinder. Enjoy the climb, but enjoy climbing responsibly more!
Once again, thanks for reading! I'll be out of town all next week but if something comes up that is newsworthy, it will appear here. Have a blessed weekend. Climb hard! Think harder!
