More Slab Pics

Construction in the new silos is moving quickly. The staff of Rocktown spent another Sunday painting, this time in the new set of silos. We are growing ever closer to having a new climbing area and a place for our Touchstone groups and a place to rent out for private parties.

We are down to the nitty-gritty of drilling hundreds of holds in the slab. Yes, the texture phase is done! Check out the most recent pics. It looks great. After the holes are drilled we get to (I say that in jest) screw in a few thousand screws to attach t-nuts to the back of the wall. This is how we attach the handholds to the wall. We should have the wall completely finished by the end of the week. Of course, it won't be open just yet as we still have to put the handholds on.

We are concurrently working on a number of other projects in preparation for our closed week (Sept 1 -5) when our new safety floor will be installed. High on the agenda is a complete tear-out and re-build of the front office. If always goes well, when we re-open on Sept 6 it should look like a new place.

Some of you are wondering when the routes are going to change. Well, once we get some of these big jobs out of the way we are going to be changing routes again.
