I can do Tuesday, not Monday.

That could work.

DAMN Y'ALL!!!!!!!! I'm at BKB generally twice a week. Not belay certified there (though I have been at other gyms in the past) but I've never had trouble keeping myself busy just bouldering. I can't go tonight, but I'll probably be there tomorrow, and sometime later this week. I'll plan on next Tuesday too, if you guys are going to be there. 

I usually go after work (so 7:30ish) so I'll just post here if I'm planning on going on any particular days (it's often a game-time decision).

Yo @dvollback, I'll be there after work tomorrow as well, probably around 7:30-8:00. I'll look out for you!
I promise to only climb fully clothed...

Wow. Apparently cyclocross does NOTHING for one's climbing skillz. And apparently, doing a chest & back workout in the morning before an evening climb sesh is perhaps somewhat ill-advised.

On the upside, I'm gonna show some MAD progress over winter if this is my starting point!

Sounds like I'm possibly headed over Friday as well. If you're down, shout out. Otherwise, we'll get a crew going for next Tuesday.

(Jules, we thank you for that. And for also posting the word "image" rather than an actual image, unless it was you crushing some gnar while fully clothed.)

Hmmm, not sure what happened there... Trying again...

i love that place, i went there once for a one day free try out and i realized I have no finger strength.


I'm not very good at technique (hoping to take a class in January!), but I can give some pointers to make it easier when you are first starting out. For one, almost every new guy I see uses WAY too much upper body - though i wouldn't imagine cyclists would have as much tendency for that.

That was the long-winded way to say: come out and join us!!
I know a fair bit about technique.  Am happy to help :)

"That place" in the picture is Joe Rockhead's in Toronto.  Funny thing is, all those photos and videos were done back when I used to be a regular there (1996-2000)

Holla! Climbing tomorrow (Tuesday, 12/17). Will be there from 7:30ish onwards. I will be bouldering exclusively. 

Thursday too.

Thursday is my goal...
This sounds awesome! I'd definitely be interested to try it...post holidays. I leave for CA on Friday so don't have time before then, but I'm back on Jan 5 and would love to tag along next time. I did this a little as a kid...but havent even tried it in at least 10-15 years so we'll see if i remember anything at all.

YO! DERDZ!

I'm at work until 8, and heading straight to the gym after. Should arrive around 8:30. I'l be wearing a sleeveless Quickstep Boonen/Bettini t-shirt (one of my most prized possesions). @gwynna, not sure how long you're planning on staying at the gym, but I would definitely be down for Ramen after. Were you thinking Naruto? They're pretty good/not far. I've got a couple friends coming with too, so it should be a fun little crew (possibly a former Kissena).

See y'all tonight!
