Christmas period 2013

Psyched from my last trip on the tools i was looking forward to Christmas with my Girlfriend and the kids.. all went well had a great time time but then on the 26th my attention turned back to climbing i actually turned down a days bouldering on what was to be the only good day over Christmas, instead i took the kids to winspit put up a rope for them on a Grade 4 and let them take turns... was good fun but missed the opportunity to climb myself on the only good day weather wise but hey... the kids enjoyed themselves
The 27th came and it was decided and the other half gave me permission haha to turn the loft into a training room so i set about decking the floor and preparing for what i wanted to do. The following day i set about building a 4ft box coming down from the ridge and returning back into the roof i made it of solid wood then cased it in 4mm mdf just to make it smooth and tidy, i put my metelious hangboard one end and some other small hold around the box and some on the rafters as feet pegs so i could make foot movements and hand movements consecutively, i also bolted into the rafter opposite the box and one on the same rafter a bit lower to make a pulley system or just to sit in my harness on a fixed rope which can be set at different lengths, this also helps take a bit of the load when a swing pull up is done mainly for the smaller hold such as last two and monos, i also left the top of the box open on the other end from the hangboard.. for bathangs and hanging crunches.. its all good and works well providing a multitude of exercises and work outs...
time to get really strong..
