Sweating here in AZ
While temperatures have been consistently breaking 100 degrees here in the desert we’ve been doing more planning and talking about climbing than, climbing. So when April recently asked, “How am I going to get back in shape after I pop this little climber out?” I said, “Oh, uh, I have a few scraps of wood lying around. I can add onto the woody. In fact, I think the heat might have gotten to me because I got carried away. Here is the frame of “the arch.”
The new section will have a 20 deg kicker, 60 deg roof, horizontal roof and near vertical headwall. If the budget allows we are going to fill in a side with vertical climbing (so the baby can climb of course). You’ll be able to start from our existing 45 deg section and climb up and over the arch, or even traverse. All the slopers we had from our original woody will be back in action.
I just have to complete the thing when it’s 100+ degrees outside!
