The Rockface, Birmingham - RIP
November 01, 2004, 09:41:58 am
Hello all

A sorry day for everyone stuck in Birmingham, The Rockface has closed  :(

http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=105622

I hope you'll all join me in wishing the ex-employees all the best for the future and commiserating all those over an hour away from the peaks.  I expect a sudden exodus northwards (does anyone in Sheffield need a 3rd line IT support guy?).

I just hope http://www.creationwall.co.uk/ get a move on and open their new wall because it leaves Birmingham based climbers without a decent wall.

I'm 1/2 hour the wrong side of stoke when it comes to getting to the peaks, so i guess it's swings & roundabouts (ideally we'd all live in Sheffield i guess :) ).  If (when?) creation wall gets up and running, it should be easier to get to for you Stoke-types (straight down the m6, on to the m5 for a junction or two).  Also, there's rumours of a wall starting up in Shrewsbury, http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=105658&v=1, post number  21.
