Thanks for the offer mate, but I managed to finally get the garage woody complete before lockdown, same offer applies if you are ever over this way and the weather shits out (actually Newtonhill).

It's in the garage, so technically you won't be in the house.

Ha ha
They have system boards and a couple of beastmakers.
 I have a 5m wide 6m high 60 board, a 4m arete and roof, slab wall and roof plus muscle up bar and fingerboard...this combines to enable me to climb at a much much lower standard than both Richie and Gaz, fortunately i make up for it by being technically inept, i cover this up with rage and depression.

I wouldn't call it "sharing". They lock me in the basement and if I'm very luck i am allowed out to feed at night.

What are current rules on wearing face coverings in other climbing walls? We've just had the introduction of having to wear one in the centre and time when you aren't actually climbing now.

In Depot Pudsey and City Bloc you have to wear a mask at all times except when starting a climb (I.e. put it straight back once dropped off), same when doing an exercise in the gym, and when sat eating/drinking.

In practice though I've just been wearing mine the whole time, unless I'm really desperate for a breather. Feels better than putting it on / taking it off all the time.

My new local wall doesn’t require masks when on the mats. Technically you’re suppose to have them on when in reception but given how small that is (i.e. there’s about 3m from front door to mats) that’s not enforced.

They’ve got two big industrial fans in the front and then an extractor fan at the back to try and create airflow instead. It’s a small wall so the airflow solution could work if the extractor were strong enough.

Hey James didn’t I see that you’re in Skipton now? Just wondering what you’re considering your local wall as they all seem to be 45mins -1 hr away, just checking I hadn’t missed anywhere!!

Have they got the doors open yet for extra ventilation?  Was really surprised to see them closed when I was in last week as a result it was just as stuffy in there as always.

Inside door open, but doors to outside not, although they have had them open before. A bit pointless. It was really windy and peeing down though, so might be for safety.

We’re not there quite yet. Hopefully moving in about 3 weeks. Currently renting in the south lakes - new wall is called The Wall in Ulverston.

Ran by Joe Holden, nice guy and interesting problems. Annoying as I can only climb on downward facing jugs because of my wrist at the moment so it was limited for me unfortunately. Girlfriend had a great session though.

Just seen a couple of posts, are climbing walls in England still open? Ours in Aberdeen closed up Boxing Day and hasn't reopened, I think most in Scotland have closed now.

 I think 'elite athletes' are still allowed to use them.

OK, some powerclubbers must be in the elite then, unless this happened recently?

It’s been very quiet mind, seem to have the place to myself, most days.

Ok, that's the answer I was looking for, more helpful than "NO", Thanks.
