Real rock. plastic. randomly featured rock. plastic.hard rock. plastic. outdoors. plastic. Even if you put plastic outside I would still go to Eden. Do you want a plastic car a plastic house and a plastic wife? Didn't think so.

It is about variety, doing new things, going to new places, hanging out with new people. What a time-wasting argument you guys are having. I said I saw a guy climbing there, Spuzo said she works right by there, so hey, lets go climb one night! Novel idea...

Not when it is 2 minutes down the street from your house.

Eden Park will make you a well-rounded climber and targets grip strength. You can take someone that's been pulling plastic only and they will struggle up Eden parks' walls. Eden Park is unique and will train a specific need. Indoor gyms also serve a purpose and I spend $40 a week at RQ but I need variety and the outdoors. It’s hard to ignore it since I live so close to it. Eden Park will give you that edge you need on certain climbs. For example, when you are stepping off the belay stance on the crux pitch of Petit Grepon where a fall would result in a direct fall on the belay anchors, Eden park will save you ass.
Anyways, back to the subject at hand (AHEM!) the paved road washouts, one between the tunnel & the bridge & the other between the bridge & the civilian conservation corps were still there. I would think it might take a bit of drying out before these or the ones on 9 can be repaired. I'm suprised that no one has mentioned the landslides at Phantasia?
