Route Setting

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

As if doing a 12 mile walk was not enough Peri & I decided to attend the Saturday night route setting session at Oaklands.

When we arrived Gareth, Chippy, & 3 others were already well into stripping the bouldering wall & mounting a new volume (feature) on one of the overhanging walls.

Sadly there were not enough ascender kits to enable more than 4 people to work at any one time so Peri stripped & set a route while I tidied up holds, screws & bolts. After this an ascender kit came free & I stripped a route on the 'new feature wall'.

The work carried out on Saturday night has made a significant change to the wall, the new feature and routes will give everyone a chance to try something different.A visit in the near future is recommended.

Route Setting starts again this week
