Enjoy responsibly!

Yes George…it is awesome! The Boulder at Rock Spot Boston is being reset Tuesday (3/12).


The boulder will be stripped starting at 8am with setting starting around 12pm. There will be plenty of stuff to climb on at about 5pm. We will then continue to set problems Wed and Thur between 9am – 5pm.

Until then, balance the equation…do some push-ups!

Pink baby heads and some setting pics from Peace Dale.

The third pic shows Keith Nadeau (awesome dude and great setter) cleaning up after one of many epic days of putting in the new gym floor.

Matt Loon (pic 4) and Ryan Cahill (pic 5), both setting a couple sweet 5.10s during our Setting Clinic…weeks before the opening of our Peace Dale Gym.

Chris Motta (pic 6) and Danny Howard (pic 7) putting in a late one the night before the gym opened its doors.

I’d like to thank all of the setters who put up such great routes in the new location. We set the standard high and I’m psyched to keep it that way!

I’d also like to take this opportunity to personally thank Marc Troob, Chris Simpson, Danny Howard, Matty Zane, Keith Nadeau, Dovi Hirsch, and Ryan Cahill for putting in extra work and effort towards getting the gym open!

Thanks guys…you rock!

Various shots of the new Peace Dale Gym during construction.

The third pic shows Nadav taking a test run down the slide after the guys from Rock Werx installed it. Brave man, Nadav. He wore his fast pants that day and nearly took out one of the walls…I’m kidding, but the slide is fast. So please be careful when partaking in the speedy descent of the second floor boulder.

If you haven’t checked out the new gym yet…do it! its awesome! If you have …go again…and bring some friends!

100 New Boulder Problems!!!

After a very successful, accident free (thanks to our new flooring system) ABS Comp on Saturday and an awesome Black Light Party Saturday night, the setters and I came in on Monday to start filling in the blank spots and to see if we could hit out target goal of 100 new boulder problems…

Well its done…rather we are done. 100 new problems to enjoy for the next 7 weeks or so. The feedback on the problems has been excellent. Tons of people at the comp commented on how great they were. One competitor liked a problem so much he basically sessioned it the whole time!

Shout out to all the setters…you guys are awesome! Thanks!

Anyway…here is the breakdown by grade:

VB = 7

V0 = 10

V1 = 10

V2 = 10

V3 = 10

V4 = 10

V5 = 10

V6 = 10

V7 = 10

V8 = 7

V9 = 3

V10 = 3

Enjoy!!! And be sure to spot your fellow climber!

Just a few shots of our super high-tech new vinyl floor at our Boston Gym!

Its been two weeks since it was installed (thanks for being so patient during the construction phase!) and so far we’ve received tons of (+) feedback.

Remember the two giant vinyl mats? The ones with the beveled edges? The new floor has a similar feel. Imagine the whole bouldering area as one big pad. No more individual mats to roll your ankles on. The overall feel is not too hard and not too soft. Goldie-locks would call it just right…

The top-rope area has also been upgraded (as well) with a vinyl cover to help protect the foam and carpet bonded foam underneath. The feel is more uniform and more stable. Best of all you won’t be tripping over the floor lumps anymore…you’re welcome…and thank you.


Now just because the floor is new and awesome, don’t get too fearless when climbing unroped (bouldering). We still highly recommend that you have a spotter (and spot others). Just remember to climb safely and follow the new rules posted throughout the gym.

Enjoy!
