Burnley: 30 **AND** 45 degree walls now open 22-May-2006 At 9:33:01 AM climbingjac

Message

Dear climbers,

Over the weekend we finished "construction" on the vertical wall. This means it is now fully tee-nutted and painted. We are now waiting for the last of the holds and bolts to arrive for this wall.

We also added some "up" problems and a new main route. Please find below a list of new stuff:

New main routes:

White grade 20, 45 degree wall.

New "up problems":

Brown, centre of 45 degree wall. Moderate.
Pink (monster jugs), right end of 45 degree wall. Extremely easy.
Purple & yellow swirlies, hangboard configuration, left end of 30 degree wall.
Purple & yellow swirlies, easyish up problem to the right of the hangboard configuration.
Light orange, left end of 30 degree wall. Hard.
Dark orange, centre of 30 degree wall. Super hard.

The Burnley "crag" had a really good vibe over the weekend. We had people moving in and out all day both days, and in the afternoons, there were around 25 people there at once on Saturday afternoon, and more than 30 on Sunday afternoon. Very social, very fun. The afternoons seem to be most popular. Tim Le's portable mini stereo added nicely to the ambience on Saturday.

Thankyou to Clarke, Kate, Olivia, Bec and a young chap that I don't even know - who all helped keep the lovely new grade 20 on the 45 degree wall in check as it was being set. Thanks to each of you – you've helped us to deliver a great quality line.

An updated version of the Burnley "guidebook" is here

When we've finished tinkering, I'll get my act together and create a downloadable pdf guide.

Best wishes,
