Title: Bouldering indoors in Glasgow.
Post by: c.j.d. on August 24, 2011, 05:45:29 pm

I'm in Glasgow right now (17.45).  Bouldering indoors (decent training session needed).  Any ideas?  I know TCA is not open yet.  Help - quick!

you don't ask for much do you, nothing like a bit of forward planning!

No lack of planning - I've just got stuck here for a couple of days with work! 

I've hit this site, but hate the uncertainty of turning up and getting something that wasn't worth leaving the hotel for  :)

Maybe it will be okay...

Also, after the Mill and Indy, I think I've become a bit of an indoor wall snob!

I've never been, so can't vouch for quality, but  all the Glasgow climbers I know use it  and I don't think you have a lot of choice

Actually I would head for Dumbarton if it's dry. Cracking day here in the NE.

Okay, I'm going in five minutes!  Any negative knowledge on this place would be great or its into the unknown.  I seem to be having a conversation with myself.  Life on the road.

The bouldering at gcc is pretty gash but better than sitting in the hotel!

Hey, cheers.  I had a great time in the end.  Good bunch of problems top get stuck into.

Defo better than the hotel, and a good scene (nice people).  Saw Willackers on the way out.  Will go again me thinks.   :)

I tried to avoid him all night by doing routes but he caught me on the way out!  ;)

The GCC bouldering is actually quite good at the moment as are the routes.
