Post by: neil h on October 06, 2007, 08:24:27 pm: well its part of our climbing wall. But stick with us you dont need to pay, we are there every night, and between us we practacly run the wall, we are all instructors adn do other things around the place,

I built this wall in an old room they had for us guys to train in, I paid for it. The wall was originally in my work shop, but i sold up and donated it. Its preety good, 1/9 campus board aswell, free weights, music and t and coffee.

The 40 degree wall in the pic, i sorted out last month into a proper grided board for training, loads of bleaustones on it,

If you go on your own i think they will charge you £5 all day to use it, open 2 till 10 all week then 10 till 6 at weekends

Sorry to butt in.
