Where are the stais going?  From what I can see they look like they are going up to the worlds largest ceiling.

fucking hell, who designed this wall, Escher? Reminds me of the movie Labyrinth:

Nic Sellers during his Van Halen days

That offwidth's inspired.

   funny as ........IPMSL at the labyrinth shot, thanks!

nice boots he's wearin, could offer heel point to toe foot jams for the offwidth. can we hire them from the wall so to minimise the *emelda marcus* situation??

I hope you're not serious! Anyone who doesn't know that's D should be ashamed.

Great film BTW. Love the little gremlin contraptions in their city...

All the main wall structures are now finished in the Works, and the matting has started to arrive. All our bargain memberships have sold too, so if you were waiting for a bit before you got one - sorry but you just missed out. Snooze and you loose! We'll try and update the pictures on the website today. It is looking pretty impressive now, even if I say so myself.

Wow, that's a lot of campus board... Just wondering, has anyone ever tried having a campus board with big fat sloper rungs on it?

[Percy B]

Yes we have. It will be ready for your use in the next 3 or 4 weeks. 6 inch diameter plastic pipe, split in half length-ways and covered in grip-tape to make the most awesome open-handed campus rungs you'll ever hang from. And the full size range of normal rungs. And routered slots. We like to cover all the bases, know what I mean...!

I'm almost tempted to move back to the UK now....

Just wondering, has anyone ever tried having a campus board with big fat sloper rungs on it?

When I'm pulling as hard as I can, footless, the last thing I want to happen is my hand to do is pop off a hold.  I wouldn't use sloping holds on a campus board or fingerboard, but I have quite greasy hands and have hurt myself before with hands popping off holds when I'm pulling hard on them.

uncle decided he would remove one row of the small rungs on the school campus board and replace them with new rungs, which are flat, at 90 degrees to the board and have no beval whatsoever. A lot harder than using normal campus rungs and slopey. Good for power though. damn you uncle!

[unclesomebody]

you don't get strong pulling on big rungs, that's for sure. You need small, non incut holds. I don't know about these sloper/sandpaper things. The ones at mile end aren't very good in my opinion, mainly because they are too easy.

chris, where have you been? Recently, the school has not had any new problems that only the tall can do. Coincidence?   

[dave]

and covered in grip-tape

fucking hell I hope you dont mean that glue-backed skateboard sandpaper type stuff. Is this campus board for people who've recently commited a crime and want to remove their fingerprints? wouldn't it just be better with 3inch diamater wooden dowel split in half?

[Percy B]

No, just a light texture on the pipe rungs. No need to worry about our typists fingers being chaffed! The worst video in the world of a tour of the works is now on our blog. And a timelapse sequence of some of the boards being built. Our apologies!
