Can you be a 'climber' without wearing a down jacket everywhere you go?

[@wasabichips]

I don't think so. Like if you don't own a down jacket you can't be a climber.

[@lubomir93x]

@@wasabichips now I need a down jacket....

[@danhopkinson2811]

simple answer. no.

The route setting here is insanely good. Used to be my main wall and since moving I’ve found nowhere near as good when it comes to setting. Ben and his team deserve massive credit, and if you are lucky enough to go you won’t be disappointed.

[@xzysyndrome]

I feel like I haven't achieved total climbing appearance until I get a puffy jacket :( What? It isn't cold enough in California? Pff...PUFFY JACKET!!!

"Jump" AKA Auto Belay ride

[@robbieallen2923]

That wasn't actually the full jump, you can do it from the top of the building (behind the walls in the bouldering room) to the bottom floor, which is the full 25m drop. 12m of it is freefall, and then yeah, the auto belay catches you.

[@andyseverance1519]

@@robbieallen2923 OK, that actually sounds like a lot of fun. I wonder why they didn't show that.

[@robbieallen2923]

I was wondering that as well, could be doing maintenance on it maybe but as far as I’m aware they’re not. Speaking from experience, it is fun yeah 😄

[@r0bl0xisc00l]

People in my class always say climbing isn't a sport or climbing is boring u don't do much in it but I know it's much more than that so I always try to get the hardest challenges and try my best btw I love you guys xx❤️

[@danhopkinson2811]

people say the same for things like motocross or enduro "you just sit there and twist the throttle" or for horse riding "the horse does all the work" just people who don't have a clue about the complexity of skills or physicality required for such things.

[@MarkRidlen]

This is a legit high quality gym. I'd go there in a heartbeat if I wasn't stuck here in the USA.

[@tomphosis]

British prime ministers are not allowed to speak to the Russian government in the backround nations to discuss their concerns about how they would have been banned for a long period of time and a number that would make it impossible for them to join a group I just spammed auto correct

Visited it last year on holiday for the first time with the kids. The school in England weren't out for summer yet so it was all the hardcore climbers in the main hall, nice and quiet bar the occasional grunt....then my pair (6&7) come running in screaming and shouting looking to climb everything. Was the best day. Awesome wall, cant wait to visit it again in a few weeks when we are back on holiday!
