<br />
All new problems will be up for you to get to grips with before the comp season starts.<br />
<br />
The first round of The Foundry's Winter Bouldering League is a month later, on the 7th November.<br />
<br />
So get your eye in with the style of problems that are set on the Wave, Bleaustone Wall, Traverse Corridor and Woody Board - you've got a month to prepare!<br />

<br />
Make yourself feel a bit better by taking advantage of The Foundry's stupidly good value membership deals this term.<br />
<br />
Full Time Students can get a 30 day membership for £20 at the moment, instead of the usual £35.<br />
<br />
But that's not the big news.<br />
<br />
Starting 26/9/11, the first 20 people to take out a 3 month membership pay £50 instead of the normal £85. That's simply an unmissable deal.<br />
<br />
Or you can go the whole hog and get an annual membership for £200 instead of £220. But, again, there's only twenty of these cheap memberships available!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Over the past month or so, Rob, Ash and Steve have been working furiously to reset the whole of the centre.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since June:</div><br />
<ul><li style="text-align: justify;">Every circuit on the Wave/Bleaustone Wall/Traverse Corridor has been reset; </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">There's been a new section of wall built in the furnace, creating a whole new line (and meaning I got to paint in a number '36' at the bottom of the wall); </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The CragX vert wall has been reset; </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The Livingstone wall has been reset; </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The yellow slab has been reset; </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">40 NEW ROUTES have gone up on the Main wall; </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The whole of the Furnace has had a reset...</li>
</ul><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZmUKX2jhjP5yfiwZVYLPhFjyMRPMBkdbfEv1OSCIeViIdzoG-hTokz4h8sL8wPjKSnhZ8sbGSZ9keln7R98-2TjRRd69MxGaCBjR_XyYLyFhH2cWak4XwyrMlzGmTawe1Py_aN69CUyM/s1600/IMAG0018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZmUKX2jhjP5yfiwZVYLPhFjyMRPMBkdbfEv1OSCIeViIdzoG-hTokz4h8sL8wPjKSnhZ8sbGSZ9keln7R98-2TjRRd69MxGaCBjR_XyYLyFhH2cWak4XwyrMlzGmTawe1Py_aN69CUyM/s200/IMAG0018.jpg" width="119" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">.... And every volume in the centre has been taken down, filled, painted and put back up somewhere else.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We just need to get the Green slab reset next week to get full marks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our route setters have really busted a gut to get such a big selection of top quality routes on the wall; and this is all before the winter season has got underway!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Over the coming months, look out for the return of dry tooling, the winter bouldering league, the BMC's leading ladder, and another gazillion or so new routes and boulder problems. There will also be some pretty hefty deals a-happenin at CragX.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So stay tuned!</div><br />

<br />
Rob worked a long day get some new volumes and routes up on the left hand side of the Furnace.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTizFqf4VgGDiYncz_AjXY8Zqiew_j8VSt5Hkk4uq2N-SHn0iAIxpXJ0Kjc7gx0J6XrJI-OlmelaMBDReZVN8P5gKx9O2eXbgNYeHupB5Q1Zm8lFn1e-lhXtWVlNiq-Q7z9eP7hWQZY4w/s1600/corner3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTizFqf4VgGDiYncz_AjXY8Zqiew_j8VSt5Hkk4uq2N-SHn0iAIxpXJ0Kjc7gx0J6XrJI-OlmelaMBDReZVN8P5gKx9O2eXbgNYeHupB5Q1Zm8lFn1e-lhXtWVlNiq-Q7z9eP7hWQZY4w/s320/corner3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Line 36 is now open, and sports a pretty nails jamming crack (into a finger jamming crack!). There's also an easier route up there, with more to go on tomorrow.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ7rUljEhLHSXI2ylrfFGPUvM9D9fJ-e3-4Azg6EUxZa6vrOo57nGmbRqs5OpmZBWFOa2U3Dj-DRypfYe0gWQpBgqxXoatht1AnYaqXsBo_6-1B80ac4xvT_QPV1wE2jBo4UAgznfWVZM/s1600/corner2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ7rUljEhLHSXI2ylrfFGPUvM9D9fJ-e3-4Azg6EUxZa6vrOo57nGmbRqs5OpmZBWFOa2U3Dj-DRypfYe0gWQpBgqxXoatht1AnYaqXsBo_6-1B80ac4xvT_QPV1wE2jBo4UAgznfWVZM/s320/corner2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The climbing in the corner is different to any other part of the centre; now it's filled out with volumes, the corner should make for some of the most interesting and technical top roped climbing at the Foundry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5wKooRMJBz1Oo3UTZnl7OWfjOMx_NTavef0F_m2C8CfZVf8jJuJ1h5hKGFN17B2bPAXlPb7LaFkdo9WNfSqOTOMbIRebXspVa6DAG7ZC1zKCdcDyhAQQJ15RZis-aJRZQ2quw7tSqoKE/s1600/corner1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5wKooRMJBz1Oo3UTZnl7OWfjOMx_NTavef0F_m2C8CfZVf8jJuJ1h5hKGFN17B2bPAXlPb7LaFkdo9WNfSqOTOMbIRebXspVa6DAG7ZC1zKCdcDyhAQQJ15RZis-aJRZQ2quw7tSqoKE/s400/corner1.jpg" width="265" /></a></div><br />

The volumes have had a nice lick of paint and have been moved around to keep things fresh and interesting. There's plenty of laybacking, mantling and rockovers for you to get stuck into, and that's before the bolt on holds are even on the wall.<br />
<br />
New routes will be set today and tomorrow.<br />
<br />
As always, we look forward to your feedback. Look out for updated route topo's at foundryclimbing.com.<br />
