Please note the following works that took place at Burnley over the weekend:

Chris Abernethy created some stencils for us that would allow us to label our walls "Wall 1", "Wall 2" and "Wall 3". David Russell, Francesca Haig, Paul Coster and Anthony Morgan did the installation work. Thankyou to all for your efforts! The labelling will make it easier for us to direct beginners to "Wall 1" (the vertical wall) from the information sign (which is still in design phase).

Works on the 30 degree wall ("Wall 2")

A sit start has been added to the black 18. This adds 1 move to the route.

After having observed what is of interest to kids when visiting this wall, it seems that their key interest is being able to climb to the shark hold. As such, a few random jugs have been added to the wall to help them achieve this goal.

Works on the 45 degree wall ("Wall 3")

A sit start has been added to the stone coloured 25. This adds 2 moves to the route.

A magenta (purple-ish) coloured "up" problem has been added to the wall. It is located approx one third of the way along the wall, from the left. It is a toughie! It was set by Sam Morley, Selena, Scott Clarke and Anthony Prieto. Sorry – I don't know Selena's surname! Shall find out for the purposes of documentation in the guide. Anyone know Selena's surname?

A collection of random holds have been added to the kickboard and into the gaps on the face. This makes designing your own up problems a goer. It also makes it possible to do a low traverse using all colours. Thankyou to Marcel Jackson for pointing out this fact.

If anyone knows the surname of Selena, please post here!

Thanks all

Jacqui
