Build weekend rope W.41
2025-09-24 19:05The first rope route building weekend is approaching—it’s high time to add some more routes! We’re planning a proper first building weekend with construction on Friday evening, all day Saturday AND all day Sunday. No tearing down, no (maybe a little) cleaning—just route setting! We’ll ask you to focus on adding more of the grades we currently have the fewest of, so we’re looking for several 5s, and maybe one or two around 7b+–7c. Another request is to add routes to ropes that currently only have one route.
Dates, times, and schedule as follows:
Friday 10/10 Start at 17:00 – Training for new route setters at 17:00/17:15, and then we’ll continue until 20:00. If you want to build on Friday and haven’t built before, expect to continue on Saturday 🙂 We’ll tidy up properly before heading home since the “try climbing” session will be in the hangar at 10:00 the next day.
Saturday 11/10 Start at 11:00 with training until 12:00, and limited/no building until 12:00 (due to the “try climbing” session happening at the same time). During this time, we can also sort holds and flatten banana boxes. We’ll continue building until 20:00.
Sunday 12/10 Start at 10:00, training for new route setters if needed before 10:30. On the final day, we aim to finish by 18:00.
We’ll provide snacks, lunch, and/or dinner each day as usual. If you want to come by but not build, you’re welcome to help fold banana boxes, sort holds from boxes into plastic bins, and help tidy up the hold storage a bit.
The bouldering area will be open for climbing as usual during the building weekend, but the rope walls will be closed for climbing until the weekend is over.
