Give him a hard time about it Bender, and maybe something like what Brian and his crew are putting together could happen in you own backyard.

Or at least we can pitch it to our rock manufacture to see what he thinks.

We've talked about it. But, we have to find a way to fund the extra space.

Jason mentioned the last time we talked about it that there were large footprint locations close to where his office is. I was requesting from him a plan view drawing with dimensions so I could put a proposal together. Let him know I'm still interested in doing that, and maybe we can have something by next season.

Would be cool to do something for those live web cast he has been doing.

Even a small footprint test course would be cool.

Looks awesome Brian.

You guys sure are putting the time and effort forth. I am sure you will draw lots of attention.

Rockpiledriver · 04-03-2008, 01:06 PM

Thanks guys!

Yeah it has been alot of work and it's still continuing.

Here is a video of the start of the mess. The mess portion was shot with a cell phone so the quality is not that great, but you'll get the idea.

Rockpiledriver · 04-03-2008, 01:40 PM

Video works now. Sorry about that.

drumbeater · 04-03-2008, 03:47 PM

Looks like some one has a full time job just running the vacuum

Rockpiledriver · 04-03-2008, 06:36 PM

The arch is almost done. The steps near the bottom of this piece are a really tricky side hill line around the base of the arch.

These next two pieces are the left and right corners on the front side of the mountain. They will be about 15' apart. It does not look like it in the pic but the climb over the tunnel in the piece on the left is about 55deg. If you look to the right of the tunnel youcan see another trail under the ledge that wraps arounr to the top of this same piece.

The sidehill ledges in the first pic of this post lead to this piece which will be directly underneath the top of the arch. We still need to come up with a name for this section but "Purgatory" seems fitting.

Can you scan something and e-mail it to me? or does the landlord of the complex have a web site with floorplans. Just a couple options my friend......once you find it!

jason · 04-03-2008, 07:25 PM

I'll look around and see if I can find it again.

Cool! Just let me know when you want to send it, if it's by fax, and I will plug it in.

Thanks

That's awesome.

Who's bringing the fishing pole and snag hook to do recoveries in the middle?

Rockpiledriver · 04-03-2008, 10:34 PM

I have an idea to make the weak parts rigid. The corners...except for the tunnel sections, will be fine to walk on as soon as we apply the cheetos.

Mac10 · 04-03-2008, 10:38 PM

hey... when you guys are done with that, can we put it in my back yard?

thanks!

seriously that thing looks sick!
I wish I could be there to attempt every line!
