To £3/£4. But luckily the extra money has gone into air-conditioning, cleaning the holds, getting new holds, changing the problems regularly. Oh wait, no it hasn't  :roll:

Actually, I think it might be a good thing, it might reduce the usual scenario:

Pete: "So Bob, where are we going training on Thursday??"

Bob: "Well we're going down the Matrix..."

Pete: "But we were there yesterday?!"

Bob: "But it's cheap!"

Pete: "It's also smelly, greasy, too warm, full of students, bouldering only, and we've done every problem there 13 times over!"

Bob: "But it's cheap!"

Pete: "Even you said last time you were bored to death with it!"

Bob: "But it's cheap!"

Pete: "Can't we go to The Foundry for a change, haven't been all winter..."

Bob: "But it's cheap!"

Pete: "FFS Bob you went on a bender last weekend and spent £58 on booze....if you'd had one less Black Sheep, you could afford to go to a decent wall this week without whining about it..."

Bob: "But it's cheap!"

Pete: "Shut up. You stink of goat ass."

i too would like to know what the 33.333333% price hike is paying for. So far all you're getting is a few  problems with a distinct merseyside feel.

However I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a load of bleaustone holds there in the future, which would be good. but then again so will every other wall. But yeah I agree I certianly won't be going there more often as a result of the price rise.

P.S as far as i know the problems there are reset monthly through the winter, which is as often as anywhere else.

don't know the name of hold's etc cos i have to draw the line somewhere but at the "gym" in L.A. they have a few, mostly crimpy holds which are rubber n flex when you put weight on them. it feel's very f***ing strange
