Johnny Dawes TONIGHT!
Don't forget Johnny Dawes will be coming to Transition Extreme tonight to talk about his new book "Full of Myself".
For those of you that aren't familiar with him his major contribution to British climbing was the introduction of two new grades to the British Grading system for rock climbing (E8 and E9), and several new routes that are today still world standard. In 1986 he introduced the grade E9 to the British grading system with a first ascent of the route "Indian Face", a route of epic proportions and still to this day known around the world as the perfect example of high-end traditonal climbing.

Anna Wells: Guest Setter
Many of you at the wall will already know Anna, from her long time served at Transition Extreme.
Anna came up on Saturday to set routes, after so many requests! There is now a new 6a+ and a 6c. Come down and try them out! We have the routes book and want to know what people think of the route setting so feel free to add your own comments!
The bouldering wall has been revamped again following the second round of the winter series, so as well as the competition problems there is a full range of problems and more to come over the following weeks. We have begun trying to even out the grade spread on the bouldering wall, so have a look, try some problems and get back to us with your comments! The infamous volumes problem on the 45 board will stay up for the next week, so get cranking!

Patagonia
For those hiding from the grey weather and need pysche to train, check out this amazing video from John Griffith.
Its been up a while, but is perfect inspiration for those dreaming of there next North Face, or building up the training in preparation for the coming winter.
If anyone has any training articles that have been particularly useful, bring in a copy as we are compiling a resource for climbers to use when resting between red points or boulder problems. It will be housed in the new boulder comments book (rapidly filling up with grade debate...). Bring them down!

The end of the October holidays
October Camps
We have finally finished a hectic two weeks of October camps. Tom Stork and Tom Russell have both undertaken lots of climbing sessions with the camp members. Everyone had a great time, with lots of exhausted faces at the end of the day (especially the instructors).
Bouldering Wall
Tom Russell has been continuing his revamp of the bouldering wall. It now boasts:-
-Two new easy routes on the 45 degree board. These are perfect for people either looking for some first time problems on the steeper boarders, or for endurance training. The routes can be easily joined together by downclimbing the problems, as they start from the same spot. Tom Stork can confirm this is very pumpy!
-A crimps circuit on the 45, follow the tape anti-clockwise, keep going for as long as possible!
-More kids boulder problems taped up.
Events
Today is the Glenmore Lodge round of the Scottish Tooling series, and next week is us! We have been hard at work stocking up on lots of bits and pieces to make the event as successful as last years. See in centre for the posters and try cram in some last minute fig fours and pull ups!
Tim Rankin
Once again, as part of out ongoing project of highlighting some of the best photography of climbing in Aberdeen, we introduce a face well known around the wall. Tim Rankin's Flickr site is a perfect resource for those climbing in the area as Tim was and still is a massive part of the development of the North East scene. Check it out!

Core Climbing
We've had a very exciting delivery from Core Climbing today. This is what they have to say about themselves,
"Core Climbing was formed in 2008 by three Sheffield-based climbers,
Tim Marsh, Stephen Royle and Leo Moger. Having the legendary Peak district on our doorstep is a great inspiration, as are many years spent climbing and travelling. Capturing the essence of all the different venues and rock types we visited, our climbing holds bring the outdoors onto your climbing wall. "

Two new 6c’s and a new 7a have gone up, perfect to start the winter training regime with.

Bouldering Wall Modification
Hey as many of you guys may have noticed we were doing a little work on the bouldering wall last week. It is now finished with some interesting problems set on it.
We have changed the wall to overhang for just under 8 feet at 65 degrees!! The top is only 10 degrees but we will aim to make it as interesting as the steep start!
Let us know what you think and if you have any ideas for any other modifications and problems you would like to see at transition.
