Hi people! Well, we survived!!..barely. =) The past week was hell on Earth but we finally finished our massive monstrosity of a bouldering wall. We made the last push for it’s completion on Friday working from 7 in the morning until 10:30 at night. It was freezing cold, windy and downright miserable and I was ready to kill myself…buuuuuut I’m glad I stuck around to see it to the end. Haha! Our potluck and setting party on Saturday was a resounding success and we got some super good problems put up. We’re both completely exhausted but are planning a session on it tonight with some friends from out of town. There’s not much else to say other than I’m so glad it’s finally finished and we can now enjoy hours of fun whenever we want. This wall has been a long time coming…and hopefully we get years and years of enjoyment out of it. Yay!
The ridiculous process of putting the roof sheets up!!
Our arms and shoulders were about to die by this point!!
Time to PARTY!!!!
You guys—I’m ust amazed at the climbing gym you’ve built. Absolutely incredible family project. Should be featured in a national climbers magazine! Carol and I hope we can visit you in Tucson in the next two years, see your new house, this project and many of the others.
Can’t wait to catch up u with Henry and to meet Will. Tonight is my first visit to your website in more than a year. Last time I checked you were building a wall and patio in your old house. This looks much more fun! Tommy, I really admire your engineering capabilities. The structure is truly elegant. I’m stoked seeing this and will visit your site frequently from now on.
Love to you all — Dave and Carol
