LPAC will open for the season on Saturday May 10th.

There may be harder all-natural lines on the wall, but I have not found them yet. Starts underneath the second rope sitting down under the prow. Strain/scream/curse your but off the ground (I think much harder for shorter people). Traverse right along the thin seam to rope number 5 and go up the dihedral on features. Ends above the anchors at the top of the wall. I think the boulder problem goes at about V6 and the dihedral at 12c or d. Totally leadable, waiting for it’s FA!

Entre Prise is currently designing a ceiling to go over the current cave. The left side of the cave will be extended about 4 feet and the roof will shoot straight across it. Timetable seems to be for early March.

For the EAC climbers the bouldering cave has entered the next stage. A representative from Nicros was at the club last week and went over the space and what we had to work with. He will be designing it for the space right next to the climbing wall. More updates when I get them.

On Friday Feb. 29th we will have our first “Friday Flash” at Lakeview Athletic Club. The Flash is a time for LVAC/LPAC/EAC members and guest pass holders to hang out with some food and drink, and participate/watch a climbing event. The flashes usually go from 7-10pm.

This time around we will have a route climbing competition on the new wall. There will be beginner and advanced categories, with some cool prizes for the winners.

Hope to see you there.
