have heard rumours about a new wall that may be opening in sheffield come winter. rumours have it that it could be one of the biggest dedicated bouldering facilities in the world. time for the masses of sheffield to get strong boys and girls

is this the ben moon wall rumoured to be in the pipeline?

Also on the subject of walls, theres currently an Eadon Lockwood And Riddle sign up on the foundry gates for a potential property/land development. :wave:

Must be for what was Outside mate. The new bouldering wall is in but not quite finished, so you wouldnt go to the trouble of installing such a beast then to sell the building! This new wall is excellent news. Perhaps I will only have to breath my own chalk dust in future (pesky non-members!)

God forbid such a foul and stinking beast should ever rear its head. Worse still, a non-member that borrows chalk, burns you off and insists on playing its own music - shudder.  :furious:

Lest we even consider a non-member that wont participate in the bonding rituals and 'take it like a man'...

You'd think if you were opening a new wall in a few months you'd want to advertise, rather than spreading rumours.... or maybe it's all a cunning plan, a bit like viral advertising....   :-\

You're just looking up the wrong end of the road Dolly... like the man said.... just to one side.

Hope they have ice packs for those snapped tendons ;)

although, nothing said that hasn't been said here. 'Tis shrouded in secrecy by the sounds of it.

I've heard the reception staff warm up on 8c's, have eyes as black as night and a dark longing for unlicensed crayfish.

I have it from a reliable source (who obviously can't be named in these matters of national importance) that the project is 95% certain to happen AND it will be enormous.
No more info on the possibility of Orcs as reception staff.

If it's due to open this winter then I assume they will have already got the site and started work on it, otherwise they haven't got much time.
