Both Altona & Nunawading have recently upgraded, so I don't think they will do it again soon. Personally I think both Bouldering caves are too low, as I said 2, 3 moves and you are at the roof. Vic Ranges Bouldering walls were what I'm into, more like outside. The only thing missing was topping out if you ask me. Has anyone seen ‘The Spot’ in Boulder Colorado, now that’s a Bouldering Gym! Though I'm sure there are people that like the roof aspect of Altona & Nunawading. The Space was also (as mentioned) and draw card for me, something that the other 2 don't have. Though I think Nunawading could scrap a lot of the original area and expand their bouldering.
