I live less than 10 minutes away from this place and go in there most days. Ive heard/seen absolutely nothing about this. Im not interested in such things so wouldn't go if i had but im sure there must be a fair few people whod be interested in going whove no idea whats going on. The organisers would do well to sort this out i think. Theyd make a lot more money with just 3/4 well placed posters.

I've seen advertisement everywhere. As to this 'route with no grade' stuff, it's probably more consciously headline-grabbing than if he'd just given it the expected E12.

Im a student why would i waste my money at ratho or alien and why on earth would i ever go in tiso? I guess by that reasoning a student also wouldn't buy tickets for an outdoor lecture but im sure many would if there were some posters around the place. Anyone going to a climbing wall with the recent brilliant weather weve had is either a seriously good climber who trains everyday or someone who needs to get their priorities right. Anyway if its sold out fair enough i take back my criticism of the organisation theyre obviously doing a good job at marketing it.
