Anything an old git can climb at your place?
6 May, 2011
Absolutely and no one is an old git! We have loads of routes and we aim to cater for eberyone and allow everyone the same amount of climbing as everyone else. From the lirttle ones aged 3, to beginners, regular climbers, right through to the British team. we have a good contingent of those classing themsleves as old, but then just burn everyone else off! I would say the oldest I have seen is late 60's / 70's and the youngest cranking on the main walls 2 1/2! please come down and let us show you around, ask for either Simon, Paul, Ryan, Big Tom or Little Tom and they will show you all the routes and centre, and help you get the most out of a session.

Haha! Jim, you're not an old git, your still cranking hard! You should pop down and check it out, in fact, come to our comp and you can win the male vets category, Keefe and Hank have been down a fair bit. Dan keeps telling me you are getting out and about loads, we should go for a climb some time soon!

So you think I can only win at vet level!!!!! Good job I'm at Plas y B on 4th June else we'd see about that .. and another thing, my dads bigger than your dad and he's a policeman en all. (must stop looking at these things after the pub). Yeh lots going on at the moment and big Verdon + Ceuse plans shortly but after mid July we will go kill some crag together. Cheers Jim
