SUYW #40 - July 2010 - Photo Annual

Having a cool house can sometimes be a burden because all your friends want to come over all the time. Dan Yates apparently welcomes the burden, as he, along with neighbor and fellow woody owner Patrick Andrews and friend Justin Laffey, built a woody in Yates’ garage near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, now cleverly named The Garage. They filled the 11’ by 22’ space with three differently angled walls, from slightly overhanging to 60 degrees, with hundreds of holds to keep it interesting. As Laffey says, “Wednesdays have become the new Friday… in the ‘burbs of Gettysburg,” as a weekly session “so positive it would have ended the Civil War” keeps all the locals coming back. Everyone shares spotting duties, laughter, beer, and good times at The Garage. As the Show Us Your Woody winner this month, Dan Yates and The Garage crew will get to add SLOTS from the Detroit Rock Climbing Company to their already impressive woody. The slick and shiny surfaces surrounding these gritty pockets will test even the best puller’s precision. For a chance to win some sweet holds like this, e-mail pictures and the story behind your woody to word@ urbanclimbermag.com.
