I am not too fuzzy when it comes to training facilities. I absolutely love the beacon despite the school room feeling like a fridge, the resined umbrella keeping most of the rain out, or occasional puddles on the matting. I just adds to the character. What I did object to today, and made sure the Hosey new it was the choice of music.
It wasn’t just bad it was appalling, apparently he had chosen Classic Classic’s due to the number of retired climbers in. Amongst whose numbers was none other than the artist Ginger Cain. I was so surprised to see him outside the pub that I nearly shit a brick. Anyway, I had enough of Mozart, Bach or whoevers concerto in C or Overture was playing. It sucked the life out of me, when I was told it was because of the geriatrics in the building, i had to point out since when did the staff care about the customers (Steve and Gill that was a joke BTW!).
Anyway I could barely climb a green problem the mood was so depressed by what was being passed for music. I would have preferred to listen to the Spice Girls or Take That, than Eine Kliene Nacht Muzak. Anyway if it wasn’t bad enough that I had to go to the climbing wall because of the rain, then being force to listen to classical music was the icing on the cake. It was like being stuck in a 1980’s lift before the advent of Muzak.
Anyway, after that rant i feel one day closer to joining the retired climbers, and certainly working on being a grumpy old man.
