I'd just like to say what a fantastic time I had today.
And say thank you very much to Jon and Jonathan at OM, Neil Gresham and Tim Emmett the instructors, Mountain Hardware and Ellis Brigham.

Jonathan took some pictures while I was climbing and hopefully they will be up on OM tomorrow. (If I could be cheeky, could I ask for some copies of the originals to be emailed to me?)

It was just totally amazing, and I want to go again!!!

Arms hurt abit, but in a good way?

Thanks everyone

Beercat,the Cas wall is great and the instructors are brilliant but you are right, your arms will fall off. The beginers slope is OK but the vertical stuff is a killer.

At the end of the second session i did my arms were so weak I struggled to squeeze thr carabina off my harness.

My arms are stronger now and I would love to go back and see how much better I can do, if any.

That ice factory article is good that they just put up. And compared to the London price very cheap indeed.

ED, and in Feb I'll be saying the same :-)
