Reply To: What are the gyms doing??

1. Urban Ascent – Is new clean a nice location to climb. It does have a limitations in the height and for lead climbing and it also needs to change and add new climbs more often.

2. The Hangout – Is great for strengh training and has a great boldering cave, but please get rid of the old couches and all of the old matresses that are used to land on. They are old, dirty and a health hazard. Also how about turning the lights on so people don’t have to climb with their head torches.

3. Rock Face – needs a facelift, get rid of the old ropes, clean the toilets and make the place respectable. Clean the holds.

Overall the 3 gyms offer everyone something different. But they all need to get their act togehter because if someone decided to build a new gym and they did do it correctly then the others would soon be out of business.

Perth needs a larger climber gym that has higher climbs more challenging to us better climbers. possibly someone needs to look at the fantastic climbing gyms in the states and build a new gym modeled to those. Whats better 3 gyms that scrape to make the grade or 1 gym that caters to all needs and makes everyone happy.

Oh for the tossers that like to drill and make their own holds in the quarries maybe they can have a natural rock wall and they can come along and drill holds make their own climbs.
