Ah at last the website's working!

Have to say though that is one of the shitest website i have ever seen! From a business wanting to attract corporate and international interest you'll have to provide a better image than that.

With regards to location it's still a bit of a trek to get to for an evenings session from Mancland. I can see there's a train line that runs pretty close by which might make for a slightly less traumatic journey than by car. Can anyone tell me what the nearest train station is?

One thing that hacks me off with commercial walls is the lack of angles and variety created because of it. If anyones been to the ghetto wall in an old warehouse in Geneva you'll know what i'm talking about! I'd love to see some form of systems board there too and i definately agree with the above that featured walls suck.

Train line is the one that goes to the Peak and onto Manc. Nearest stations are Dore and the central one. Lots of buses go up and down Abbeydale Road and lots go up Woodseats Rd. You come on public transport and you will get a free cuppa

Now there's a good idea! Promoting some green-ness...

Hmmm, maybe you WOULD be good in the custom service bit after all!

[GraemeA]

And also if you cycle, walk or come in a full car (Ferrari F2006's excluded - Schumacher does routes so he won't be coming anyway)

[andy_e]

Horseback? 

[GraemeA]

Horseback? 

Cuppa tea and Percy will tell you that you are a wad. But only for people from Bury 

[Percy B]

I wouldn't let Graeme look after your horse whilst your climbing.....

[Percy B]

Oh, and on the subject of features - there won't be any. Just ply, holds and volumes a la BoulderUK, but on a much, much bigger scale. Think about 8 times the size of BUK and you're in the right area....

Hmmm, I'd have thought he'd prefer Ram's bottom...

But only for people from Bury 

Hmmm, I'd have thought he'd prefer Ramsbottom... 

Seriously though, how much horizontal is there going to be approx? Or can you not say? Ver' hush hush?

I like boulderuk's simple boards, allowing for inventive volume-work. Gives some nice shapes and some interesting rockovers sometimes...

[Percy B]

Hush,hush,I'm afraid. Wait and see. But there will be a lot of everything. Oh yes.

bloody attic conversion

Oooh, it's just like Christmas... What did you get us? Can we open it now? Awww not fair, What will Percy Christmas deliver unto us?

[Fiend]

Oh, and on the subject of features - there won't be any. Just ply, holds and volumes

Pimp!

You do nasty things with volumes...

[Control freak]

Looks like an amazing project - just a shame its on the wrong side of the planet. WRT to the website tho Graham, it seriously sucks. PM me if you want some better ideas. I'll see what I can put together for you

For the usual fee, plus expenses (trans-hemispheral flights).

[fatdoc]

the location is PERFECT to suck in those with wealth to finance the project to allow for building of ultra specific training methods you strong boys use.....

why?

coz it's easy to get to from the "30 to 40s" semi detached belt of n'edge, woodseats, abbeydale and millhouses. Attractions are: "ooohhh might get strong again, there is a CRECHE, and an area for the kids"

awesome ideas,

percy  - you've started me climbing again mate - cos i can now train again and not get divorced...... thats where the baseline income in sheffield will be.


i need a season ticket for 2 adults and 3 kids mate,

[Dolly]

Get in Fat doc
See you down there mate

[Dude]

Seconded the creche is a top idea for us new fathers!

Music to my ears!

Do you take requests? Can we have a problem like this please?

[Stubbs]

How many rungs is the campus board going to have? I seem to remember reading that the French National Climbing centre one went up to 15 or something...

[dobbin]

Graeme A - BMC competition supremo + climbing wall owner = conflict of interest? Wonder where all future BBC's will be held? I'm not complaining - I live in Sheffield.
