dear tim.
Gll who took over all the leisure center in lamberth , asked the wall to be closed down and assessed for safety.
brixton climbers'club contacted the council.
than i think Hight sport[more detail from jhonnatan on brixton climbers yaou group].
declared that the wall wasn't safe because the wall wasn't 2m away from the fence.
the law regarding brixton wall wasn't retrospective and only few part of the wall were not a 2m. the crack was more than 2m.
then they say that crack and jam was dangerous[ we argue that none of the crack/finger crack could be dangerous, to slippery we say]
then they say we didn't have the choice anyway they were going to demolishes it and make the new one available for all [ the old wall was available for all as well]
then of course the same company who built all the GLL climbing wall got involved in building the new wall.
then of course the price went up.
then of course if you are a low earner you can only watch and hope.
and last , the new traverse is about 1m50cm from the fence
and the crack must be just about[ they put a panel to cover it]
as far as im concerned they is something fishy about the story.
