from the blurb on the site
"The best part is we’re not done yet! There’s a whole other floor to be developed downstairs and we’re still building a training room containing a systems board, Beastmaker fingerboards, campus boards, chin up bars and anything else which can cause short term pain for long term gain."


is this done yet?
moving down in a month or so and hoping there might be somewhere to injure myself/train

Redpoint has a 35 degree(ish) barrel which effectively acts as the centre's board atm and a very comprehensive training room full of various campus rungs and fingerboards (but most importantly two beastmaker 2000s) that I'd heartily recommend.

Abandoning the Manchester Massive? New job - training number?

I was near Birmingham on business this week and dropped into Redpoint. They seem to have a decent bouldering area with the highlight being the steep barrel wall where the matting rises up behind you to make the most of the space available.

There was a separate area with Campus / Fingerboards available as well but no steep training boards like the Beastmaker board at the works though.

The only downside seemed to be how warm it got.

indeed. not massively keen on moving further away from rock climbing but I've got a good research post and it hopefully might eventually lead to an MD and a training number.
