Big Rock Shoes

[Liamo]

Just down at the wall last night and this problem is still popping it's head up at us...

The largest rock shoe at the wall is a 10.5 (i think). 3 large pairs were bought this year and i don't know where they are gone to...beginners will stop climbing at the wall because there is only so much you can do in runners. look i know the club is low on funds but there should be at least one large sized pair of rock shoes (12) at the wall for the beginning of next year or you will lose at lot of large footed beginners...the great outdoors stocks rock shoes upto size 15

i`m not sure if we should be encouraging large footed climbers... damn freaks

seriously though,
having seen some climbers borrowing club shoes for an entire year, perhaps there should be some measure to wean them off the club shoes and make them consider buying their own shoes.
perhaps there should be a fee for borrowing shoes, 1euro, the money going towards buwing new shoes.

also, while it would be nice to buy shoes up to size 15, how many climbers do we have with size 15 feet?

I do like the idea of Liams big knob.... I mean charging for rent of the shoes, Its not fair that it is done, just because you know the people involved doesn't mean you can hog the facilities, the shoes are bought for everyones use. Definately a fee should be placed on them every time they leave the wall even on trips if you request the size you want, you pay, none of the first come first serve unless they have the money

what about charging at the wall too?

the use of the wall is free, it is not too much to charge people a minimal amount for rental of shoes. perhaps for next semester?
