Climbing Wall Facelift

Over the last two weeks, Rick and T-Bone have been working hard on the climbing wall, giving it a complete face-lift in preparation for next summer. We have given the wall a fresh coat of paint, cleaned all of the holds and re-routed each climbing face. T-Bone is even working on a special super technical climbing route for those experts out there. From what I understand, this new route will challenge the strength of your fingertips and agility of your toes.

This face-lift means that even if you have climbed the wall 20 times before, you are in for new challenges as we have rearranged everything. Whether you love The Tower, The Beast, Daytona or one of the other routes, you can be certain that you are in for a new experience the next time you slide into that harness and buckle on that helmet. We can’t wait to test it out with you.

Here’s some pictures taken along the way:

We’ll start with a few “Before” pictures:
