Newsletter from BK 1.7.

Hello dear friends of BK!

Midsummer celebrations are over and it's time to welcome July! At BK, we have a bunch going on even at in the summertime! There's, amongst other things, BK Cup, the Summer Training Group and yet another outdoor bouldering course! Konala's renovation project is well underway - read more about the schedule below!

Newsletter on a summer break

BK newsletter will be on a break for the month of July. Stay up to date by following @boulderkeskus on Instagram and Facebook. July’s routesetting schedule can be found from this newsletter. The next newsletter will appear on 5.8.

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH: Blakpad knee pad

NEW! The Spanish Blakpad knee pad is now available at Boulderkeskus in two different models: VS with Velcro fastening and EON with buckle fastening.
With a three-buckle tightening strap, the fit of the EON pad can be more easily adjusted to fit your thigh, while the velcro-fastening VS has been found in BK's test to be more suitable for the longer and more evenly thick thighs.

Test on your own thigh before buying! The feedback has practically been just glowing so all testers highly recommend the product.

Available in sizes S, M and L for right and left foot.

Products of the month are chosen by BK Team and the favorite products of the staff

RENOVATION NEWS FOR KONALA CLIMBING FOLK!

You can now find Konala's renovation schedule in the news section of our website.

Konala gym is still open as usual in the first week of July. After this, the entrance will move to the Ruosilantie side and the gym as well as the current changing rooms and shop will be renovated.
The new side has, from 8.7. onward, a shop, dressing rooms and warm-up facilities. Please note that the warm up and weightlifting facilities are more limited than the current gym area - a new gym will be built in place of the current shop and will be ready for use in August!
Konala will be completely shut down from all users at the end of July between 22.7. and 4.8. After this, or hopefully before, we will be able to open the gym again, at least partially!
The grand opening will take place during August when everything is ready, we will inform you about the opening date in more detail!
There might be some schedule changes. We'll inform you about any possible changes via social media and our website!

New training wall to BK Konala!!

Can we get the drums rolling please, because we have an important announcement to make!

Konala's future board is... TA-DAA: TENSION BOARD 2!

This training wall, which combines the best features of Kilter and Moonboard, is probably the first of its kind in Finland. The Tension board, which has gained great popularity in the US, has been used by the elite climbers there for a while already. Tension 2 hold set can be used to make either a spray wall version (like in Moonboard or Kilterboard) or the holds can be placed mirroring each other (a mirror layout), so you can train the same moves on both sides.

It remains to be seen which layout will be chosen!

You can find the Tension board in the autumn in the renovated Konala!
