La Galétière sur Montreuil

25/02/2026: Excellent routes, as always with Arkose. The gym is well-ventilated and bright, which is pleasant. However, there are two major drawbacks. First, the mandatory use of liquid chalk for obscure reasons, even though it's really terrible for holding holds, especially the chalk sold by Arkose, which is particularly poor quality (pasty, doesn't stick to the skin, and comes off in two or three movements) --> go take some chemistry lessons at Friction Labs. Second, and a significant drawback, is the anarchist graffiti everywhere in the gym (toilets, changing rooms, etc.). Either you get it removed, or you condone it. We live in a democracy, don't forget that. If they were swastikas, they would have been gone a long time ago, I think. It's a shame that climbing is becoming politicized...

16/02/2026: Always welcoming, very pleasant atmosphere both for climbing and for a coffee break.
