so, now it's all warm and cosy, what's the verdict?
I kind of like the novelty of being able to climb in my t-shirt when it's freezing outdoors, but then again the hands are sweaty with the unaccustomed heat, and I feel a little nostalgic for when I used to snuggle back into my duvet jacket after each climb....

In reply to practicalcat:

Well, that's good news. I will start going there again.

In reply to practicalcat:

Is it really that warm there now? What have they done about the gap at the top? I was just thinking today that I won't go there again till it's warmer.

In reply to rock_waif:
ok, so it's a bit chilly at the top of the walls, but you should be working too hard by then for it to be a problem! Everywhere else, they have these massive heaters pumping out warmth. Definitely less environmentally friendly than of old...

In reply to practicalcat:

it's bloody hot in there now! You can't stand to near the sides for fear of becoming 'grilled wingman'

In reply to practicalcat:
Hopefully they will get the hang of it.
Last Weds it was 1/2 of grilling alternating with 1/2 hour of freezing.

In reply to practicalcat:
I though it was great. The last two years it has been bloody freezing, often feeling colder that outside.

In reply to practicalcat:

i liked it with no heating and my down jacket..

In reply to practicalcat:
I think it's great too - fantastic to be able to climb in shorts and t-shirt when it's brass monkeys outside...

In reply to practicalcat: yeah, it's OK - I'd still wear a long sleeved shirt unless you're really racing about - not all the heaters work.... Was there last night & it was about right.

In reply to practicalcat:

can they get the same heating at calshot its fecking freezing there

In reply to practicalcat:
I was supposed to be at the wall tonight but have come down with a nasty head cold. Feeling very mizz
Whisky with lemon and hot water, followed by bed.
