Temperature dropped again. Along with a constant snowfall, climbing the cliffs was out this weekend, but that's why we built a wall!
Here are pics from yesterday. Polissya has been constantly working on the wall: adding plywood pyramids to make the routes more interesting, adding bolts for lead climbing, and adding about two dozen more holds to the bottom five feet for bouldering. What's being used as crash pads, you might ask? Backseats pulled out of junked cars, of course!
We also broke in one of the newest volunteers in the Zhytomyrska oblast: Erin! She was tired after only two routes, but promises to come back for more.
Tanya, Jon and their children: rope 1 and rope 2.

Tanya and her sister Anya. Apparently name originality is not a strong point in the family
