New Climbing Wall Found in NOLA





A very good friend of mine, Bobby, built a climbing wall in a spair room in his house. I had been talking about checking it out, but never made it. Well last night I finally make it over. His wall is great. It is a very steep 40 degrees. Then moves to the ceiling and finally traverses to the opposite wall. It is a great change from the Massey's wall. Don't get me wrong, the wall at Massey's is perfect, but it is nice to climb on different holds every once in a while. Diversity is very good.
He has a tv that he plays climbing DVDs on during the sesh for motivation. And not to mention that it is A/c'ed. I am very pleased with is setup. Looks like a third wall will never hurt. I can not wait to go back and finish some problems that I was working. Bobby has set the routes by color, which is great. Each colored set of holds make a problem and are very diverse in difficulty. He purchased a several holds from So iLL, the same company that supplied the holds for problem number one at the recent bouldering comp in SLC.
He is still planning to add more holds throughout on the blank areas. A climbing wall is never complete. There is always more work to be done. Stay tuned for more climbing in NOLA. We're gonna put this place on the map!!!!
