Spent most of last Thursday evening in a mates 'Cellar of shamefaced inadequacy' working on a virtual mirror image of my 'Shed of performance driven reticence'. He has the skeleton in place and we started boarding last week..Very soon you can expect the boards to feature here and, in the words of Admiral Akhbar, had he been a 'real' humanoid boulderer wishing to train in Menston, "the reports were incorrect, this is a fully operational death cellar...."

Then spent the last 5 minutes of the night first attempting to put screw a pozi 2 bit through my finger with some success, and then attempting to stem the flow of blood/tears whilst trying not to think whether I should cut off the resulting flapper, which had a substantial amount of meat attached. I obviously opted for a plaster. Out of sight etc.
Pictures to follow, of the wall.

Apparently the Menston work in progress, "Cellar of shamefaced inadequacy" has undergone a transitional namechange by order of the management, who, in light of data protection/anonimity, i will call 'Rimon Sichardson'. It is and will be referred to in future as "the Basement of furious topless abuse."

Please amend your records accordingly.

it is a woodie I promise you, steep, must be >60'. probably about 14 ft in length, he used to have something at quite a shallow angle but thats gone now.The new woodie is badly built but last time I spoke to him he was planning to extend it. Fingerboard as well I think.

Interstellar, another cellar dweller!


Park your unicycle outside. Stub out the Gauloises and remove your beret for we are definitely not in mainland Europe no more Toto. Leave your pride on the same hook as that there continental faggotry.
A spare pair of shoulders are all you need here.  The boards are up so let the injuries commence!

Name : De basement of debasement….
Location: Menston (nr Ilkley)
Steepness: Every which way but loose.
Grade range: Not yet set pet
Size : 16ft x 16ft x 8ft
Vibe : Elastic Eclectic Electro FONK.
Other facilities : Doctor on site. Nausea inducing colour scheme. Pus yellow/acne red spots on walls for both physical AND mental training.
 
This is a truly elite facility, indeed, applications  may be made in writing with a full CV for an interview in regards to securing a place on a shortlist  for secondary, tertiary and quaternary consideration before final refusal.




As you can see there are still issues with lighting, but as soon as he pulls his finger out and puts crag x boards up over that window it'll be sorted.

Wet Sunday afternoon, what to do?

Obviously increase the wifes displeasure by spending the time making additions to the wall.

So new features are:
Some holds (thanks Dylan)
The "Ladies" 5 degree wall (although the lady in question might be disapointed with the tiny crimps it is laden with...)
50% of the side wall (ran out of ply, arse...)

Check out these bad boy photos...




And you thought the climbing works was something to get excited about, ker-pow mutha fuckas....

Nice Height on the 30. Are you extending further? How far do I have to imagine travelling? What tuneage can you offer? Refrigerator contents? Grade range and expected injuries? I need to know...

There are plans to move it to a different room, and once in its new residence to add some more walls. I quite fancy having a steep (45ish) wall with a slab to rockover onto above it. Mind you the new room needs a new cement floor laying first so this aint gonna be happening next weekend.....

Location:
Todmorden

Fridge contents:
Pint and a half of full fat milk
A grape
A petit filous
A bottle of champagne

Tuneage:
most genres represented with a slight bias towards ambient featuring animal noises (especially frog croaks)

Grade range:
Whilst the middle region of the bell curve distribution of problems has had a cursory exploration the further reaches are currently untested

Expected injuries:
Altitude sickness if you make it to the top of the board

What FLAVOUR petit filous?
Just google mapped Todmorden and it happens to be about 10 miles away. As the crow flies. And about 30 via more conventional means. Infact Todmorden looks to be the M62 antithesis of Slaithwaite. All roads lead to Rochdale by the look of things.
The top of that 30 looks proper nose bleed territory.
Check out my boards earlier in this thread Nik at Work, you are cordially invited(to apply for an invitation request pack)

Tod would be a really convenient place to live if it had roads going to it and shit, maybe next year.

Your walls look like works of art, very impressive (if a bit lacking in height :)). Is there an online application form?

I've got a room with an 11 metre ceiling height so I'm toying with the idea of suggesting a lead wall to the wife. Just need to get my cahones insured first...

Oh and it's a strawberry petit filous, one of the ones with the layer of fruit mush at the bottom (and the grape is seedless if that matters)

Bin the lead wall idea. Tank the bottom 2 metres....First of its kind, indoor shallow water solo. Extreme. I take it you own either a church or a Silo. Whilst the contents of the fridge sound more Dr No than Reverend Green I expect it is/was a place of worship. 
You're correct in your observations regarding shed height, but I have found bigger benefits from angle change transitions than sheer pull down height, the former of which you can rarely get at an indoor venue to any excess. And as Mr Jim Morrison famously said, "the road to excess leads to the Palace of fookin' burl".

I dont drink alcohol. The empties in the cellar are from the previous tenant.  8)

Only protein shakes and anabolic cocktails I am afraid.
