Any word on the New Ground Zero?

[The Teth]

I am thinking of cranking down on my lunch break a few times a week, and was just wondering if there is any word on when the new Ground Zero will be opening. I know renovations always take longer than expected, but I am looking forward to it.

Also, what are the winter hours? Will the gym be open around noon?

From the horses mouth.
GZ ver2.0 Should be open late Nov/Early Dec barring disaster.
Memberships will be extended to account for gym down time.
Hours will be 9am-10/11pm Mon-Fri 12-6 Sat/Sun.
So you can crank over your lunch break.
There will be some tasty eats, Just Us! coffee onsite and a chillin lounge as well.
There will be a super duper membership sale when new location opens!!!
Ummm that is about it for now.

word. I'll be back in NS early dec for a few weeks. Hope the doors are open so I can check out the new diggs.

[granite_grrl]

Huh? Obviously I'm totally out of the loop. Is the gym totally moving? Where to?

[The Teth]

Yeah, Sean has finally decided to upgrade (GZ 2.0). As I understand it, the new GZ will be on a side street just south of Wright Avenue, East of Burnside Drive (Off the new extension to Wright Ave).

[Zamboni]

Its in the "Wright Place" next to capital health offices

[SteveDave]

Sorry to gravedig - the wright place is on the corner of Wright Avenue and John Savage.. Avenue?

Hey Sean T, Stoked to see the new Ground Zero! Just Us Coffee onsight? Yeah Boy! How is the progress going now? We must be getting close. Oops I am drooling. Do you have big plans in the works for a House Warming throw down?

[Zamboni]

I driver by for a look about 2ice a week. Last look last week, they some wood in house, but nothing fabbed up yet. Old gym is gutted!

CB.

[kate]

if anyone plans to stop by for a visit, make sure to bring a hammer or a drill, otherwise the grand opening will be seriously delayed due to idle chit chat!
btw, Jeremy, there is definitely a housewarming throwdown in the works, but nothing will be posted until the opening date is confirmed. not to worry, climbers will be kept in the loop!

happy climbing

Sean,

Sounds sick!! You should post up some photos. It would be super cool to see a progression as the gym comes together! I can't wait to come home for a visit and get my hands on all the new holds you're gonna have!

Hope all is well in NS! Say hello to the family from Lynds and I.

Jeff

[kate]

hey Jeff!
great to hear from you. say hi to Lyndsay from Luc and me, too.
Sean spends all his time building the gym and not much time on the computer these days, but I will try to get some photos up (try the gym website and Todd's blog as other possible photo locations...). are you coming home for Christmas?
cheers,
kate

[seanT]

The first half of the bouldering amphitheater is COMPLETE!!!! Second half under way for those who are starting to freak out we are looking at 3 weeks(fingers crossed this time for real) Keep in mind the building inspector has the final say on when we can open. There is a membership blow out crazy insaneo deal on right now 2 years @ $500.00 One time only anyone interested send a message..anyone with current memberships will have time remaining tacked on to the 2 years(am i insane?YES I AM!!!!!) Stay tuned and keep the faith!!!!
SeanT

[tracstarr]

all i will say is bring your pads, don't leave them at home - maybe some adult diapers too!

[Andrew09]

noooooooooooo, i cant wait any longer, must... climb... something, ahhhh I havent climbed for so long i know im going to pull every tendon when GZ opens, but i dont care. Any great deals on 1 year memberships?

[Rich]

I had heard that the new GZ might have an overhanging lead wall - any truth to that??

[mick]

All I want for xmas is... Ground Zero to reopen! New Years party maybe?

Just Us on-site is awesome.

In the other thread you mentioned beers too. For real or just teasing me?

[the kydd]

Post up some pictures!!

I wanna see the sickness!

Jeff

[seanT]

Rich its true 30and 45 degree lead wall the old GZ also had a wicked lead wall and I think its important to have that.
Mick...Just Us is on board fully yummmmmmm. There will allways be beer of course and New Years Party sounds awsome I think its safe to say consider it done!!!
Jeff....Im working on pics we have lots just...well You know me...caveman smash...how do i get the pics out from inside the camera?
SeanT

[kate]

hey jeff,
never fear! as soon as I can get my hands on the camera, I promise to post pics.
on a side note, I have to agree with Keith's post re: extra pads and adult diapers. I think the waiver might have to be modified...

[The Teth]

Nice sign! Easy to see from the road. And definitely progress since the last time I swung by there. Although it looks like there is a little ways to go before it is ready to open. At least there are some climbing holds on the wall. Are the delays due to private sessions when you should be hammering?

[wikidevil]

Sean man! I am climbing everything, the couch the kitchen table... My roommates caught me trying to traverse the countertops... when are you opening your doors?

[Andrew09]

Im with you there mate i am going cray, i havent climbed since like june. I dont mind if its not finished ill just climb around you guys while you still build it:P Ill paint, rub your sore shoulders, clean holds i dont mind:D Im just itching to bust my hands open since they have now become as smooth as a babys butt as i havent toched rock in months!!!

So it's open now?

Nathan and I are going to NS for 5 days this Friday to visit my parents. I'd love to check out the new gym while we're back.

[Zamboni]

Not yet. Still one more overhang to construct, 10 panels to go up, 12 more or so routs to set, carpet to go down, and one "Party" room to build.

Check back in 2 weeks.
