Possible the same one that i've been to?...
Kletterzentrum München

I was very impressed by this gym. The average heights of the walls and lengths of the routes were
great, no wonder the Euros have such great endurance. The route setting i thought was of a high
standard, though some routes pretty stiff at the grade.

My only gripes:

• Too many people! (though i'm from Tassie so Melbourne has too many people too!)
• concrete floors! throughout the whole place, and in winter they were bloody cold!

That aside, the gym had every feature possible. indoor and outdoor bouldering and sport. Dry tooling,
high ropes course, tight wire, steel ladders, very few top ropes in the way! :)

In general; man i love Europe, can't wait to get back there.
