the wall will now be stripped of all holds and treated for the winter season - damp is a massive problem with a construction like this, but use it regular and restrict opportunities for damp (no carpets or luxury furnishings!).

waingroove wooden holds...route of power.
i recently turned 32 and for my birthday i was given a set of holds spelling out my business name 'waingroove'. these were made by rab anderson (junes dad), who has carved them out of old oak - good long lasting, tight grained wood.
they are taking a bit of bedding in, but they are a joy to hold after the abrasive feel of the resin holds - you have to be aware that after a few goes they get a bit sweaty, but good holds - the route is a belter, but no pictures until i've crushed it!
the raw product.
nice wrapping - "guns don't kill people, wrapping does!"
any bespoke requests for hand carved climbing holds - just give me a shout.

Roof sections take their places...
As the wall has been getting more and more additions i have had little time to show you all the results, so as you would expect....here they are.
this roof section is fully supporting and around 12' off the ground.
this gives the option to go from the angled wall to the Arete with the roof section for added energy and distance.
