We are a bit overwhelmed with all the replies we had on our mail of 25 March, and the replies still keep coming in. Giving us support has so many ways, from brief and firm to Hallmark style texts, from moral support to financial. Very special. It warms our hearts to learn how many of you care for Delfts Bleau. Thank you!
At this moment we haven’t replied to a great deal of the mails, we hope to get to this soon.
Meanwhile we do hope you’re still safe and sound, including your loved ones. Are you curious what we are up to these days?
If you follow us on social media (FaceBook and/or Instagram) you’ve seen the posts on the big spring clean up. The walls have been scrubbed and the (re-)setting has started. The greens, mints and reds are put back like they were. Why? Well, green was just about 2 weeks old, mint 1 week and red 2 days when we had to shut down. All other circuits will be newly set.
Furthermore we’re painting, reparing, renovating, innovating and cleaning. You’ll enter a new gym! And that’s how it feels for us as well. It all looks as fresh as it was over 7 years ago and we feel the same exitement to open up.
We still have our home delivery service. Should you still be thinking about doing some home training, we still have in stock:
* Theraband red, green, blue and black;
* Powerfingers (guiterplayers: this is something for you to check out as well!);
* de Il Domani (2 left);
* Beastmaker 2000 (experienced climbers)
The Beastmaker 1000 is sold out.
All climbing shoes that were handed in for repair before the shut down, have been repaired. About 70 pairs of shoes are waiting for the gym to open. As soon as we have a date we’ll send an email to the owners to make an appointment for picking them up.
As soon as the gym can be re-opened we’ll have to apply the 1.5m distance rule. You’re already used to keeping a distance of 2.5m on the walls, so you’re more or less experienced with this rule already. At this moment climbing and bouldering gyms are working united to set up a protocol that will enable us to open up whilst meeting all corona regulations. This might mean: limited number of climbers, booking an online timeslot on beforehand, contact free pin only, no shoe rental, washing your hands before and after climbing, bringing and using your own brush after each boulder you’ve done, no high-fives when you’ve sent your project. Perhaps the changing room cannot be opened, nor the showers. If so, you come to the gym in your sport clothes and just have to change shoes. Whatever the rules will be: we’ll keep you posted!
