At least Jasper can give good beta on the southern sand stone.
There is a new wall being built in Sheffield huh, please include tropical plants, sauna, spa, massage and phisio, Cocktail bar with topless waitress service
(These double up as spotters). and then, only then will i start to climb indoors.

GraemeA,

i was thinking of the bike "concession", the MTB craze that has gripped many a climber in recent years has resulted in many of us owning rather expensive steeds......

any chance of some "next to the doors / windows well lit bike stands" for us to lock up the bikes on please?

the traffic in woodseats is so damn slow that I'm sure many of us that live up that way will be using bikes to get to and from the place, making as much of an effort as possible to stop theavin b*trds knickin the bikes would be most appreciated!

Seconded. Not that my bike is worth that much, but it would be good to feel certain it was safe. Friend of mine had her bike nicked from outside the Edge recently. It's just not what you need when you come out of the wall completely knackered and just want to go home and have some food. Another friend of mine caught someone with bolt clippers attacking her bike lock. He tried to convince her it was his bike! Then he tried to convince her it was his job to remove bikes! Scurrilous rogue.

Lasers. That's what we need. Or sharks. Or a frickin combination of the two.

Pricing will be as follows.....

£4.50 Off-peak concessions
£5.50 Off-peak standard rate
£5.50 Peak concessions
£6.50 Peak standard

Off peak finishes at 4pm - and weekends are peak time all day

£2.00 one off registration fee on your first visit


Those prices don't look too bad. Nice one.

(I must admint i've never really understood the justification behind the "registration fee" that a lot of walls charge, however.)

Registration charge is to cover the admin - pays for the registration form, membership card, laminating said card and somebody to enter the details onto our computer system. The other £1.75 we spend on jazz mags and cheap red wine. This is the industry standard.

Oh, and the bike thing. We will provide a great big steel bar outside our reception window to lock your steads to. We will also provide a load of beefy U-locks and keys so you don't need to cart a heavy lock down to the wall. Give us your house keys and we'll lend you the use of a lock for the evening. :goodidea:

Can we consider the wall staff as Jazz mavericks perhaps? as genre spanners? one certainly hopes so.

And while you are pulling down, a bunch of well trained neddies will clear your house out, as we have your address from the registration you just paid for  ;D

As long as the jazz mags are available for public perusal at the wall that's okay...

Off peak rate will apply to all climbers who have travelled from Italy and have brought us some nice italian salami (and pasta for Westie - he's a veggie type). And if you come from Italy by bike we'll give you 2 free cups of tea! Can't say fairer than that.

thanks for the big Ulock... not the same type you can open with a bic biro I hope!!

errrr.......

on the prices thing, dont get me wrong , £6.50 for a session as an adult for basically unlimited fun is cooool...... but - if i bring 3 kids that get bored after 1 hr i'm spending a fortune here....... season tickets perhaps???? esp. for the little power monsters in times to come???

go on.....!!

fair go....
but £20 or more for a session is a bit harsh when the place has kids friendly areas and a creche facility as part of the selling points.... anything to keep me out of f88king easy tigers!!

can you put a big thick lead wall around the unit to stop mobile phone signal?
 so my missus can't call and ask how much longer i'll be.

this could be the last place of male solidarity... presuming the only women allowed in are to make any meals or drinks for us fellas....
do i hear a second for this motion????

Good luck with the wall I'm sure you don't need it, some of the ideas like free brew and bike locks are very good ideas.

Can I also say thanks for introducing me to Sketchup it looks like a very useful tool.  I was having a play round with it yesterday and looking at your model and couldn't work out where the picture of Graham standing under the roof was on the model, could you enlighten me?
