They won't let you loose on the indoor climbing walls until you've forked out for three training sessions. Imagine the bad press in the event of hitting the deck from the top of what used to be a church... well it wouldn't be good for business.
I was paired up with a mother and daughter combo. Mother was game enough but daughter started to get a bit girlie above ten feet off the ground. Our instruction in use of ropes etc was handled by young whatshername? probably about nineteen.
I felt a bit outnumbered and also a bit mental on account of arriving directly from Mr & Mrs M's Chimney and looking a bit worse the wear for soot, filth etc.
The only fall to earth occured on the bouldering section, suposedly low enough for clowning around on.
The routes everywhere are colour co-ordinated in difficulty:
Too Easy
A Doddle
Quite Interesting
This Is It
Get down you'll fall!
Falling...
The highest point of a Get Down You'll Fall traverse became a vertical descent. Ribs grazed over one of the lower bollard hand holds which are slightly abrasive...
Young Whatshername? said that was probably a difficult move. The Game Mum chimed in with "It's lucky they've got those mats there..."
