A few of us went for a burger afterwards at GBK in the Trafford centre. It took 40 mins from leaving the depot to park! Serious traffic error!

Wish I had the playlist from yesterday...

There's a newish DAV wall here half a mile from the Bayern Munich stadium. Same problem with traffic & parking on match days, plus the home fans have discovered the bar at the wall.

Hopefully fixing the Notts Depot's leaking roof is next on the to-do list.

Circuits boards are awesome here too! Really well set and limestone type climbing

Ah - was that you there filming this (early) lunchtime?

[gcarmichael]

Yeh that was me! Going to be there most days now haha

Hope you're looking stronger than when you was at the works!

First time last night. Apart from putting a hole in my futuras (I thought no edge "technology" was going to make this a thing of the past.....) putting a dampner on things:

Wow, everything I wanted form a bouldering wall and more. Massive space, loads of great angles, tall walls (I was struggling at 2/3rds height on everything) variety of good holds and imaginative setting.

Now all I need to do is actually turn up there regularly!

I managed to get there in <50mins from work last night which made my day. Enjoyed it just as much second time around although I'm now getting spanked (/couldn't pull on) on the next circuit!

Give me a shout next time you're heading down Nick/Paul..

Will do, though can't see me climbing much for a while after the end of Jan.

I don't see you as an "indoor climbing" kind of guy but when the weather's like this......

Good luck with the new bairn Galpinos.

I'm jealous. Need a decent bouldering facility near us, hopefully Depot Aberdeen, or TCA Aberdeen, or Works Aberdeen........

Cheers Chris. I can't quite work out how we'll cope with two. Obviously it's possible as plenty of people do, it just seems like it's going to be a lot of hard work! It's bad enough at the moment as my wife has gone into full "nesting mode" so I'm spending all my time building flat pack furniture, digging out bottles/babygrows/moses baskets etc. and having to tidy all my climbing stuff away and store it in the loft.

It is brilliant. Manchester has been crying out for a facility like this. Rockover was an opportunity missed but the Depot is on the money. If only I wasn't a chubby punter.......

Yup - I'd rather be climbing outdoors. But when there's a top notch wall 15 min away - it makes that 'maybe ok weather in the peak but it's an hour away' decision fall more towards the wall.

Good luck with the new nipper - hope all is/goes well.

Well done Depot. Had an awkward hiatus period in Manchester that looked a lot like a Depot-shaped visit. Not disappointed. That places is LARGE. Lots to do and lots at my current sub-punter range with some thoughtful problems. Great selection of holds and big volume/hold crossovers with lots of facets. I bet they're a decent investment but a statement about doing things well.

I agree. I like the attention to detail with the setting too (like little screw ons for moving your feet between larger holds, matching the finish etc.).

[boxmonkey]

I have an overnight stopover in Manchester coming up, do you guys recommend the Depot over Rockover? I like the vibe at Rockover. Had some good chats with the guys behind te counter but sounds like the Depot needs to be experienced, right?

[PipeSmoke]

100%

[tomtom]

Yup.
