wall/rock climbing
hello guys! anybody here interested in wall/rock climbing? i am a mountaineering enthusiast from phils. since no mountains here i was thinking wall/rock climbing is a better subtitute and at the same time preparation for my upcoming climbs on my vacation. i found 1 wall climbing in city center but it's too expensive.

alain_arts said
nice meeting you too.... ...sad for me coz I don't have that much exercise nowadays, been busy browsing QL, lol. Any plan this coming years? let's say Mt. Everest? hehe, that's my goal
***** I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. ******
kanaway said
alain_arts ...my first step to serious mountaineering life will be to conquer the highest and technically demanding mt. in the phils. then have training for snow climbing. i haven't trie one. maybe if i gained enough experience and money i'll start planning for everest.
that's every mountaineer's dream to conquer mt. everest and other 8,000+ mountains.

Climbing Wall! ...I did not know about the climbing wall at Aspire - if anyone has tried it or has more information (ie open to the public) would love to know.
My wife and I used to sport climb all the time - if Aspire is available and you guys are interested love to join up and try it out.
thanks

Please let me know ...I also like to climb. Have done some mountain climbing in Europe (Mont Blanc in 2004) and some rock climbing. I am 100 years old but I am still up for it. Let me know guys if you organize an outing.
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

finally! ...I love to climb and have been looking for a belay partner and some rock but w/no luck. Let me know how this new wall is!!! If it sucks like the one at city center then help me build a bouldering wall! I have the parts (holds, bolts, t-nut, jibs) just need the raw materials and a little motivation.
Richard123, im headed to Chamonix in about a month for some sport/trad =)
got any suggestions? So far im looking at Le Joux and Les Gillenads (sp?)

mp5050 ...You will have a great time in Chamonix. Its climber's paradise. Perfect for bouldering, top roping and free climbing. Its also great for mountaineering but May is probably too early for a summit attempt.
My suggestion is to hook up with some guides who know the Mont Blanc Massiv real well. They can take you to some great places. I used a Swedish guide for two weeks. I was the leanest and fittest I have ever been and learned a huge amount.
Summiting Mont Blanc was tough though. I slept for 20 hours when we eventually made it down to Chamonix. Worth it though, the views and crevasses were amazing.
Be very careful, Mont Blanc is a dangerous mountain and claims approximately 100 lives a year. People think it is easy but it isn't. Have a great trip.
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

Bouldering wall ...Thought u might be interested, they have recently completed an outdoor climbing wall area at the back of ASPIRE near the football fields. About 10m high at most, but awsome actually. U can under climb a 8m horseshoe formation and its surrounded by bouldering walls (3/4m). Anchors and grips are in and with some rope and quickdraws she's ready to climb. Although I dont know what ASPIRE would say but no one is using it and its outdoors so....... nothing really stopping anyone. Ive got pic's if anyone interested? ENJOY
kanaway said
shane23, how about wall climbing on week ends ...i don't have a good experience on climbing, but i love the sport. my wife also wants to learn. how about climbing on weekends?
Luckyjinx said
kanaway ...how about look for the place and start organizing the group and lets do the climd....
I am coming...i hope your wife will teach me how to climb...im chubby i don't know how high i can reach...
but i want to learn techniques how to climb...
when? where? how? what are the......
thank you

DEAR ALL,, REGARDING ASPPIRE ...DEAR ALL,,
REGARDING ASPPIRE CLIMBING WALL,I WAS ALSO A TEAM MEMBER OF THAT PROJECT,NOW IT IS TOTALLY COMPLETE.
BUT STILL IT IS NOT OPENED FOR PUBLIC,IT WILL BE COMMISSIONED ONLY NEXT YEAR..NOW TRESSPASSING TO THAT SITE IS OFFENCE,
SINCE CLIMBING WITHOUT THE PROPER HANGERS AND GUIDE ARE NOT PERMITTED AND IT IS DANGEROUS ALSO.SO KINDLY AVOID PLANS TO HANGOUT THAT SITE,AS SOON AS IT IS OPENED FOR PUBLIC ,I WILL POST THAT HERE..OK
mp5050 said
next year!? and you expect ...next year!? and you expect the holds to be in the same condition w/the salt and dust in the air by then?
Have you had problems with trespassers allready? what kind of offence is that? did they get fined or what?
The wall is quite empresive, its a shame it cant be climbed! What if I was to offer to set routes?
shane23 said
hey just keep me updated :) ...hey just keep me updated :)
kanaway said
Vichu ...Mr. Vichu,thnks for the update. I would like to clarify some things with you. "NOW TRESSPASSING TO THAT SITE IS OFFENCE," "SO KINDLY AVOID PLANS TO HANGOUT THAT SITE," we are planning to use the said facility of course if it is open to the public, we are discussing our plans how when and whom to climb.that's why we are waiting for the updates.
we are not the type of people who will jump over the fences, cut the wires or break the locks just to do climbing.S.O.Y.!!!
mp5050 is offering some help, please inform your team maybe they'll consider it.

surfs up dude...how bout surfing?well i checked the ocean weather website and found nothing around qatar, nasa oman lahat ng alon...too bad no waves to rip here...
life is short...wear pants:)
mp5050 said
kanaway, we will just have ...kanaway, we will just have to keep trying I guess...
I dont speak tagalog but i saw the section about surfing. Unfortunatly there is no surf here at all. That coming froma texa surfer means there truely is NO surf here. I have wakeboarded a little here and have a kite w/a hole in it but thats all the boarding I know to do here. Oman and UAE have decent surf, and great climbing. Unfortunatly we are in Qatar :/
I know I have said this several times but there is bouldering in Fuwarit. No established problems as I think Im the only one doing it but at low tide there is a lot in the V0-V2 range. It's hot now but it happens to be a great place to camp... PM me if ur interested in an outing, a spotter and some co-motivation could really make that place a lot more fun.
