Last night I want to the Hangar, Liverpool as a change. Nice sunny evening, the consensus being although it had been wet all day it was better going to a bouldering wall.Still not sure it was the right decison, but there you go.
Anyway. My god was it busy ( despite the Uni's being on their summer break). Every concievable space occupied.
Usually I see people I know etc as I have been climbing a long time..This time apart from the team I was with there was 1 person.
Whats happened to the great outdoors with the millenials etc. Is it all now hot sweaty bouledring walls no matter the weather? This was Liverpool , hardly London with no local crags etc.
A reflection of modern climbing? There were some impressively flexible people.
By the way I still prefer the Depot
