Wall Updates

The passing of an era has occured. due to some family ailments and ensuing shifting financial burdens, Will (coolest part-time roommate ever) will no longer be able to keep his climbing wall in the dungeon. Thus rent has been raised and Collin and I are faced with replacing the wall. being ones to not fear change but to grab it by the oversized round steering wheel, shifting it into reverse, slamming the gas, dropping the clutch, and pulling donuts in reverse while the other is wielding a semi-automatic shooting at whatever is passing by the pink cadillac in revere. . . we venture on!

Supplies have been gathered and construction has begun. To date we have been working on replacing the 40 degree overhang that Will removed. once this is fully in place, the expansion will begin. Included in the upgrades are a a verticle wall for less insane climbing, a dyhedral for stemming and a proposed top out area. A spare bedroom will be added, a good amount of storage space, and a bike rack are all in the works.

The largest and surprising cost is going to be t-nuts. we are going to spend close to a grand in t-nuts. Timeline: the overhang should be completed within the month and the rest of the walls should be up before the end of the year. hoping to have a party before the end of the year in celebration of climbing and beer!!!
