Dear climbers,

Please find below some pictures taken over the weekend. They should give you a good understanding of the kind of coverage (in terms of holds) that the Burnley walls now have.

It's all in the planning! Designing the 45 wall grade 24 route on the floor at home.

Justin Knight helps out the routesetting team, tightening up a hold on the 45 degree wall.

Spectacular stuff – the 45 degree wall now sports holds!!

A view of the 45 wall at the end of Saturday (an additional route went up on Sunday).

Hatsu having a great time making up his own problems on the 30 degree wall.

Bonnie gives the black 18 her seal of approval.

Kathy is at Burnley a lot these days. She's a woman on a mission to get strong!

A climber (sorry – I don't know your name!!) tries out the brand spanking new green route on the 30 degree wall.

Nick warms up on the 30 degree wall, while others take a break.

Tim Marsh's dogs pay us a visit at the crag. (The wire fencing in the background is really handy – you can tie your dog's leash to it while you have a boulder).

Another climber shows up. Wait a minute, didn't I see him yesterday? This is how to get strong. Climb climb climb!

Mac Brunkhorst explains a sequence to Bec Hopkins.

The 45 degree wall now boasts four main routes and two up problems. There's more to come, too!

Scrub scrub scrub! The first toothbrush makes an appearance at Burnley, and James Scott-Bohana explains to the crowd that denture toothbrushes are not only better for scrubbing holds, but they are cheaper than normal toothbrushes!

A nice posse. The Sunday afternoon crew at the crag.

Tim Marsh (foreground) and Mac Brunckhorst (background) sample the new routes on the 45 wall.

Best wishes,
