Some Little Upgrades

Just a quick post to let everyone know about a few little things we've done this week to improve things:
  • We have rearranged the foam in the custom modular padding in the advanced bouldering area (red nylon covers). These pads contain 3 layers of foam: 2 1" layers of closed cell foam and 10" of open cell foam. The design of the padding is to have the open cell sandwiched between the two layers of closed cell, and then after a year or so (when things have gotten pretty soft), bring the bottom layer of closed cell to the top to extend the life some more. When these pads arrived we found them to be stiffer than expected, and so initially put both layers of closed cell at the bottom. After a few months we decided that they had softened up enough to go back to the original plan. Clint and Dustin had fun yesterday opening these big pads up and rearranging the foam. So you'll find that area a little firmer than it was last week.
  • More T-nuts! Since 25,000 T-nuts obviously isn't enough, we spent some time drilling and screwing today, and have added another hundred or so to the Slight Overhang area of the top-out wall. We'll continue to add more T-nuts each week as we reset this wall, to provide more options for putting up holds.
Neither of these are a big deal, but sometimes the little things count too!
