If you're going to be in London, let me know -- I'd be happy to give you the guided tour of the Arch! *g*

One thing I think I didn't communicate in this write-up is what a relaxed and low-pressure and friendly place it is. Back when I was just starting out (and was really, really terrible) I had some of the most hardcore climbers in the place cheering me on as I struggled with V0s.

There's just a really nice and chilled-out atmosphere, and hopefully the expansion won't change that.
