Before the explosion of indoor climbing gyms in cities that are too distant from outdoor rock climbing destinations, residents became masters of climbing things that weren’t rocks. For Jeff Coke in 1980s Chapel Hill, the local climbing spot was a historic stone amphitheater. Instead of walls and towers, he saw traverses and climbing routes, each with its own name and history. In the search for something with an overhang, Jeff found a concrete pump tunnel, which was the perfect candidate for a Glue Up: an existing urban wall retrofitted with climbing holds via industrial-strength epoxy.
