> (In reply to Skinny Kin) this is nonsense. aycliffe very recently set a whole load of new routes on one of the old top rope panels. In addition the bouldering wall changes reasonably regularly too. many of the routes/problems are high quality and also pretty hard which i reckon is possibly the real problem here. and the reason the wall is so quiet of late?...maybe people are outside climbing or am i being silly.
Exactly, only ONE of the twenty odd panels in the main hall, that's what...5% Can you not see or breathe in the dust and dirt on the horizontal tuffa on the slabby wall. It looks like no staff, route setter ever go there.
The old bouldering wall is not changed for ages. Nothing much they do about it and nothing much they can do about it. The new one, yes. Agree. That's about it. The new lead wall has many routes set at the opening of the wall, which was about a year and half ago. I get pretty bored by now.
GO TO Sunderland and see for yourself how often they change their routes there.
AND stop being anoymous. Coward. I know you're from Durham Uni cos I study there as well. As you may be a student, I assume you come from area out of the NE. You may not have climbed in Aycliffe for long. I've climbed there for 7, 8 years. I can tell what's changed and what's not and how often.
Do you want to argue with me???
