What I just don't understand is why can't they send someone down there with a key for one weekend, coordinating all the volunteers that would DEFINITELY show up and strip the whole wall, set new problems? Forget washing every hold, they are f***d anyway and I can see that they don't have money to get all new holds (although apparently many people are willing to donate). But at least for the sake of fun, set new problems! Turn the polished holds around, and if not possible, use them anyway! Maybe give some of the worst holds a short scrub with a brush and done! And the best:

IT DOESN'T COST THEM A SINGLE CENT!

Investing just one weekend could provide everybody with a whole lot of new motivation (which in my case has entirely vanished 'cos nothing has been changed for over a year apart from some added up-problems which are not really that great) and fun due to new problems!

At the meeting, did anyone actually suggest this approach (I sure someone did!) and what was their reply/argument for "not possible"? Money can't be a reason!
