Please note that Chris Plant is booked to route set at Rock Antics the week after the Brycs Comp which is on 6th Sept. He is booked for 3 days so should put up a good quantity of new routes there.
Chris is an international route setter, setting for major comps.
Hopefully this should help reduce any criticism of route setting an introduce some more varied and interesting stuff.

Reply to yourself often? Is this another case of rocktalk split personality?

Anyway, I think he sets very pleasant routes.

In reply to Anonymous: So what is it that you have against Rock Antics?

I find them to be friendly, helpful and they're obviously taking measures to improve the routes available.

New routes now up - come along and try them. Good response so far. Bring a lead rope for main overhang.

He put up a total of 17 new routes graded between French 5 and French 7b+. More are at the top end of these grades. They are on the main overhanging lead wall and the orange featured wall and on the overhanging panels of 9 and 10.
