There’s interest and even a petition (politik!) over the possibility of getting a crack rack at ARG. A crack rack, apparently, is a crack training device with multiple widths and a top rope. The idea being circulated now is for this funky soft wooden one that might be adjustable. It’s like a campus board turned on its side, like a sleeping elephant. Wait, do they sleep standing up? A dead elephant then. The elephant is dead.
Hopefully these pics will work, otherwise we’ll have to do the googles for “crack rack.”
Phew! So a lot of people are interested in building one of these in one of the ARGs, because who doesn’t have a few crack fantasies? Money is perpetually tight at climbing gyms, of course, and cheap help comes slow (read: Seven Years in the NARG campus board). But certainly if someone fronted cash and/or the labor for a crack rack, Troy would let us have one. Right?
Apparently crack is really fun if you’ve blown out your tendons on crimps. Also, if we got a crack rack, all those cool people who don’t come to ARG in favor of that glorified pizza palace on 183 will come back to the real gym.
And speaking of that place that we’re not naming or linking today, they have the domain austinrockclimbing.com, and boast a “seperate entrance” for climbing. Not helpful.
