hi everyone,

i'm going to be in the gym around noon or 1ish tomorrow (weds) to put in a few hours getting more holds on the wall.  come down if you want to join.  i'm not going to switch any of the holds now up on the wave wall, since seth and aaron beat me in arm wrestling.

meanwhile, see if you can make each of these seven letter words into a new common word, by changing one of the letters to a different letter and doubling the new letter.  for instance, you can change the P in CHAPEL to an N and double it to get CHANNEL.

Ex: CHAPEL > CHANNEL
CORONA > COROLLA

see if you can get these:

FOREST
STRANGER
LOSORDO

answers in next week's puzzler!

I’d vote to not mess with the wave wall right now.  We just, pretty recently, spent a lot of time and effort resetting the wall with a new array and new problems.  I think the array is fine, and if you want more versatility, tape some more problems!

 

My opinion!

in words? sheesh!

 

imagine a grid overlaying the wall, and in every square foot or so theres a jug, a poor hold, a range of medium holds, and holds pointing in different directions.  you can keep creating new moves and problems at all difficulty levels on that wall ad infinitum.

 

if the wall has a lot of clusters of only jugs, or only jugs and really poor holds, or all the holds facing the same way, you get dead ends and bottlenecks.

 

so swop things around some to get from the second situation closer to the first.

 

i think that's the best i can do without a hologram of the wall, but DAVID RICE promised to get us live feed hologram technology for this listserv and he still hasn't done that.

Bobby,

 

Not sure what you mean.

 

In what sense does the wave wall lack "versatility?"

 

And what do you mean by "clean it up some?"

 

Can you be more precise?

 

thanks,

 

John

hi climbing gym list,

 

the wave wall has a number of excellent individual routes from/since the comp.  it lacks versatility.  i hope that makes sense.  i'd like to clean it up some.  i have time next wednesday, probably noon through afternoon.   look forward to hearing from everyone, as always.

 

cheers,

bobby
