Ideas

• Add ice-holds to provide basic ice-climbing training. The question is: where?
• The big shelving unit should probably be gotten rid of, allowing us to use the back wall at the north end for something. We need to figure out a new place for the stereo. One easy way is to add a small shelf on the back wall and keep the stereo in that. Hal is doing this. This will still leave ample space for the crack system.
  • Add more holds
  • Build a crack! How tall?
• The area between the two sub-caves isn't very useful for climbing, and might be worked with
  • Add a door so that things can be stored in the large space between the two overhanging walls
  • Construct a platform above
• Need to re-examine the campus board. Does anyone know (including themselves) who is a GOOD carpenter?

Debates

• Should we add a top-rope at the cave?

Diagram (defunct)

• To add your own routes to the diagram, you can download the GIMP file (with layers) here, add your own, and upload a new version of the diagram along with a small graphic to show the colors you've used. XCF file here . Patrick 15:41, 25 August 2010 (PDT)
