In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC:

Not quite the first drytooling venue South of the border as the BMC press release says. But anyhow, very welcome (although £10 for 2 hours seems a bit steep for me)

In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC:

Tools....
South of the Border....

Hmmm. ; )

In reply to ramon marin martinez:

Some people are pressing for £25 a go.

In reply to aln:

I don't see how that's worth it, when you can be ay White Goods for free and have the real deal

In reply to ramon marin martinez: Here Here Ramon ....well said old boy !

In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC: I hope we see some more indoor walls in England offering dry tooling, even if it is only a small area, and for a few months each year.

In reply to Nick Smith - UKC:
On one hand this is good news and will hopefully start a trend with more walls offering a DT facility.

On the other hand, it is an outdoor climbing wall (wtf?). I only go to a climbing wall when it is far too unpleasant to play out.Also, there are plenty chossy quarries in lancs which could be used free of charge. A bit of tooling may remove the graffitti from Denham, spikey tools could frighten off the glue sniffers...
