Pumpfest 2009
Pumpfest 2009 is scheduled to take place this weekend at Velocity @ Novena Square. This will be the first time we are seeing a climbing wall surfaced with resin and quartz sand finishing. The last time I came across a wall with surfaces of such a quality is the 2007 IFSC Birmingham World Cup. Expect some top climbers from our neighbouring countries to give our local lads a run for their money. Here's a sneak peek of the competition wall.
