Davo, shame you missed the halcyon days of the dispensary and the lair (never called that but I always thought it seemed like a good place to take women back to). Awesome Walls have a great sized woodie and campus board that's been built and is awaiting holds. Various people around town with woodies/campus setups but you'll need to hang around street corners and look out for shifty looking 6 ft+ tendons to see the non commercial stuff. I aim to get a personal board when I move back over from Wirral but until then the wall it is. Welcome back to the promised land!

Thanks for the info. Checked out awesome walls yesterday after trying to get to Parisella's and finding a fule leak in my van. woodie downstairs looked like it would be good with some more holds on it.

The promised land!! That is the first time I have ever heard anyone describe Liverpool like that!!

You have to bear in mind that Tom thinks anything remotely close to The Breck is the promised land  ;)

Open for use tomorrow @ Awesome Walls in Liverpool





Just waiting on a box/volume addition left of the campus board to fit a beastmaker out from the wall a bit then it is near completion along with tweaking the holds on the board after some traffic.

On Fair! How come in Liverpool you get to have it unpainted and in Stockport we get to have a board painted by the local nursery?

Looks ace, the Stockport one is still unfinished.......

Well a few of us basically veto'd/begged/harangued Dave not to paint it with a thick layer of paint(s) like it had on the previous board. It's just a thin single colour which brings out the wood grain a little and is a vast improvement on the last one (i.e. no spinning wooden holds and loss of friction).

It won't be quite as hard to spot the footholds too, due to the single colour as opposed to the bullseye on the previous board.

I don't quite get what you mean about it being unpainted though unless you were referring to the campus board which obviously stays free of paint  :shrug:

I thought the board looked un-painted (like a proper woody) as I could see the grain.

To be fair, the Stockport one is thin paint, not like the thick stuff on the current walls, it's just hideous. It's also been in a state of near completion for ages but it's never quite finished...... :'(

Is that a Copley reference? If so i'm putting it down to our youthful exuberance, passion and overwhelming motivation.

Its either that or cause we looks like dicks.
