Hooray!  Btw, the new wall surface is super abrasive.  I went on Tuesday wearing shorts and a t shirt, and now I feel like I lost a fight with a brillo pad.  I never realized how much I press the insides of my knees and forearms against the wall when I climb.  The surface makes for super-secure smearing, but I recommend pants and sleeves.

Same, my knees look like I hit them with a sheet of 40 grit for a few minutes.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
