Did some editing of descriptors for features, Alex check reds on 6? put a copy under “Arete” as i think 6 is just to the right
Yep, they should have been on the arete.
Also, the features on 6 are not 6b+. Changed them to 6c+, but maybe 6c? Not sure. I kind of want to put in features on the arete without pockets on crimps of hands, but I’m the only one who seems to climb it…
Have updated my routes on panel 3 and out of the cave, also have put reds on 3 in, though don’t know the grade or if its feet on holds or feet on features.
I’d quite like someone more experienced to confirm that my yellows on panel 1 are a 5. I have changed them a bit (in the last 3 weeks) to make it a bit easier.
Ha… Suppose this is kind of my area now…
Right I’ll check all the things tomorrow. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get a whiteboard with some kind of snap cover thing at the wall, which should be easier to keep track of at some point in the relatively near future.
Edit: Changed a few things that seemed off, and added a few notes, inc. variations of some feature routes.
If you can get a whiteboard of some sort, that will work really well. Having it mounted on the glass would be good as well (just ask the PEC staff incase they throw their usual hissy fit!).
If you have ever been to Hot Rocks in Tollymore, that is how they give information on their routes (grade etc).
That was my plan exactly. Steve reckoned we could get an A2 snapframe for about £14, then just get a piece of paper and some clear plastic.
Three new traverses in the boulder cave: a super easy pink/purple, and medium (on the fun side of medium) yellow, and an… interesting grey.
Apparently I sandbagged my new swirlies at 6c/+, so 7a. They’re also great fun FOFO; about 7a+/7b (a feat I was told was impossible on that panel…).
We’ve got a snapframe now, so we just need to get a whiteboard/laminated A2/3 page, and then we’ll have an actual nice solution.
Method they use at Warwick Climbing wall here is just to print out the routes for each panel on A4 pages and stick them to the floor at the base of each panel, simple but effective.
I have seen this at most walls and it works well. Laminated piece of paper with a grid colour, feet on, grade then just sharpie in the routes as they are set. In stead of the floor as people can slip on them you can put a hole in the laminated paper and bolt it on to one of the lower unused bolts on the panel
