Have to say I'd travel further and actively seek out a quiter wall, even if it was a bit worse. I'd like to claim that this is because I'm not a sheep but its probably due to being unsociable!
That makes at least 2 of us then
Jesus Titty Fucking Christ.
[you should probably stop going on about how amazing your quiet wall is the whole time then,
at least he's got his marketing down:
Neil Greshams presenting style is a tad scary... the eyes of a religious freak with the background music from a gay chat advert... Oh, more seriously...Quality of the problems (most important thing)Ambience (every wall has its own different vibe)People who go there... similar to above - but bouldering's a pretty social thing and its crap if everyones ignoring everyone else. A good gender balance helps (ie not just all bluurks). ConveniencePrice
Luckily there's a decent supply of DFBWGC

MunechIs the wall in Bielefeld easy to gain entry.Is there any taxing regs that will stump an inability to speak German.My daughter moves there on friday so I suspect I will be out there in the near future.Do you know if there is any real rock in the area.
skin unfriendly -- don't get this. they all use the same holds don't they? Is sliminess a good thing?
Also, if holds have been used a lot, i think they do get smoother . Smoother holds means less pain, and you need to squeeze them harder - what's not to like?
However let's assume that your typical customer thinks as you do. What could the owner of a new-ish wall do to address this?
