Looks like the lower building is the likely contender as it is currently empty looking at the car park

For arguments sake, I'd say that was west of Leeds, between Leeds and Bradford

Nice work - would be a bit of a mission to get to there in rush hour from Leeds after work.

[sparra]

12 minutes in train to New Pudsey, only a 5 minute walk from there
half a dozen buses go down Staningley Road
takes me 15 minutes to drive from town to home near there in rush hour, then you're right on the ring road to get anywhere in the western world.

Should be easy to get to after work, no worst than leedswall. Only traffic is getting through lights by Mike's Carpets in Armley, after that its dual carriageway all the way..

To throw a spanner in the works.. This establishment hasn't got planning permission yet according to the planning website.

A novel way to fund a bouldering wall?

[turnipturned]

Rumour has it the works skatepark have just had a big grant and are building a new bouldering wall to replace the rthym section in their. anyone know any more?

[dobbin]

I work in Pudsey! hooray! However, knowing my luck I will get made redundant the day it opens.

yes.

me too (but not much)

[webbo]

i know quite a bit about it but probably not as much as one or more consultants from a climbing establishment in sheffield.

[andy_e]

I'd be quite Meek about telling more.

I just posted this on UKC and within 10 minutes it was no longer there!!!!

"Re Pudsey

Buzzzzzz Buzzzzzz If you ring the number on the sign outside this boarded up building they will tell you the lease isn't finalised and that climbing is one of the possible uses it could be put to! Bzzzzzz zzzzzzzz snore."

So why post it here 

[idc]

Because I get the impression that a number of people think that the building in Pudsey is going to be a bouldering wall. A quick visit and a phone call found that not to be the case, at least not any time soon, certainly not January and maybe never. I thought this might be classed as North Leeds Gossip and of interest to some. It also seemed amazing to me that such an innocuous post be pulled by UKC. Which says a lot, but I'm not sure what, about them.

[sparra]

Have you heard about this place - City Bloc - opening mid Jan in LS10 somewhere. Don't know if there's any relation to the possible Pudsey site - planning permission expired on 23/12 for it.

I heard rumour of Crown Point, but no confirmation anywhere.

[Stubbs]

it's here

Prices
 
Annual Membership   £300
Get ahead of the game and be the first to join City Bloc.
Buy your annual membership online!

for that money there'd better be a discount at one of the local hostelries

[andy_e]

jiminy cricket! is there going to be a student/termly rate or anything? if i recall correctly, that's £100 more than the Leeds Wall! 

[slackline]

Climbing works annual membership is £300
The Edge annual membership is £300
The Foundry annual membership is £280
Awesome Walls annual membership is £360
Leeds Wall annual membership is £300

Works out at roughly £1 per day, although obviously few people will go every day, but take a conservative estimate of average entry being £5-6 and you only need to go to the wall you have membership at +60-70 times and your then saving money.

 

[Iesu]

I'm only likely to WANT to go there for 6 months of the year and I ain't paying £300 for THAT!

My sentiments too, thats why I never buy annual membership to any wall, but no ones forcing you to.

They may in time offer various monthly options like other walls.

I was simply pointing out that its not that out of line with other walls pricing policies.
