What a pity it's closed, I know there was some keen young local climbers who'll be really disappointed. I found the owner a nice guy, and the prices more than reasonable. We rang up late on a Saturday afternoon. Although he was about to close he said he'd stay open for as long as we wanted, which he did. If he is shutting up shop maybe the keen locals could look at buying some of his panels and holds and starting a co-op, maybe that's the model that works for Albury
