Hi all.
On Sept 11th we will be opening the back section of the Depot with a fun comp and after party.
The comp will be split into an easier and a harder set of problems, all of these will be in the new section. There will also be a dyno comp, sponsored by Mountain Intelligence during the evening.
After we have finished, we have rented a room in the award winning Indian restaurant over the road, "East", and we will be laying on the food.
On the night ukB resident Drew will be providing coaching and we have our resident physio providing sports massages!!
All the details are on our website www.theclimbingdepot.com (http://www.theclimbingdepot.com) and if you need any further info feel free to pm me.
Cheers Ol

Damn lot safer than the high break at Longridge when pumped and have no spotters ;)

YYFY
Count me in. I'll go home on the Saturday morning. Oddfellows won't know what hit it.
-
If I turn up in the LagerBus, climb like Joey Deacon and get very drunk, will I be able to overnight in The Depot car park?
I'll bottle/bag my piss/shit/vomit/jizz Yosemite style and then offer it for sale on UKC ebay, so no mess and possible profit for The Depot :thumbsup:

Cool, I think we are staying with friends up the road in Horsforth.
-
Anyone going who could give me a lift back to Sheffield on the night of the 11th?
Mrs Starfish going away first thing Sat Morning and the kids can't be trusted on their own.
I'll check train times...
-
I'm there already, there is still just enough time to build some power endurance! :'(
Going to rock a strong owl vest
-
I could pick you up from the trainstation no bother lagers, from about 5pm I'd imagine. I generally turn into a pumpkin at 10 though. Or could obviously do Leeds/Bradford airport if you can find a direct flight from sheff(or via Amsterdam). Whatever, girlfriend.
-
I am RSVPing yes, I'll be locking TomP up in a Hyde Park cellar somewhere to open up the comp field somewhat!
Stallion, you're going down, consider this the start of the trash talking ;D
-
Right Stubbs, I am cordially inviting you on the eve of the eleventh, to CHECK OUT MY PIPES!

(Bring your 2 tickets.)

I'm gutted that I'm off to Cambridge for a stag do that weekend - can't wait to get on the new section over t'winter though!

Aye but you've still got the warrenator to worry about...
-
This is shaping up to be quite the event. If anyone from further afield needs to kip at mine then they're welcome to although I will be relying on others to give me a lift there (Hi Dunc :wave:).
All must wear the UKB t-shirt. Asking if its your turn for the Captain is also acceptable. (He's well by the way but being a bit naughty as of late)
-
If Stallion and Stubbs are going to love up then even I might try and pop over.
-
Aye but you've still got the warrenator to worry about...
I'm hoping all of the full time work teeth pulling will have tired him out!
Stallion will you be wearing your special comp outfit? http://bit.ly/19lodc (http://bit.ly/19lodc)

Remember to make the gangsta sign to ID yourself.

For anyone who's coming down and hasn't been to the Depot before, all the registration forms (and the conditions of use) are now available to download at;
www.theclimbingdepot.com/#courses (http://www.theclimbingdepot.com/#courses)
If you download the relevant forms and complete before you get there, it will be quicker and allow you more time to climb!
Any questions let me know.
Hopefully see you down there.

PS in case I hadn't mentioned it there's free curry afterwards!

Crouch may fancy himself a curry demolisher but I've got something that'll tax him. The Fat Max Challenge is two portions of rice, two curries and a naan from Nazaams Curry House in Woodhouse. If he can finish that then there's the Big K challenge named after Kaushik who managed to see off an extra plate of curry and desert :o

Get him on the case with the Bolton Big Ten then...

I did that without even realising it was a "challenge". That's so easy, crouch could throw laps on it for breakfast.

You're not allowed to use the kids menu, Andy.

Two veg madras, two rice and an elephant's ear garlic naan. easy.

Between work* and family I'm not going to have time to get up to see you tonight.
I'll phone you later to arrange my delivery by Curry-Courier.
*I won't be going over my 37 hours though Jasper
-
A month? Good man.
-
All this talk of Stallion getting spanked :spank: has interested me.
I shall lay down my 'indoor' inhibitions and mingle with the great and good and Will from UKb for one night only.
Is there a veterans class to this comp you speak of?
-
Of course theres a veterans category, but its just you, Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, Tom Berenger, Clint eatswood and ummm John Rambo.
I shall be removing my first item of clothing at about six.
-
Looks like I'm going to miss an interesting evening.
-
Between work and family
this short period of time involved running through the fountain in The Peace Gardens with my more gullible work colleagues. Soaked, but happy :thumbsup:
-
Just got back from the Depot do. Very good evening with a strong and very deep field. Crouch and Shawna showed why they'd been selected to represent the Scouse Massive, indeed if it looked like a "Cave or Pill Box" problem Crouch despatched. There were some awesome displays of climbing from outright thuggery to technical mastery. Not least from Uptown, succeeding on a VertDirt problem only repeated by Ned himself (I believe). The tick of the night for me. TomP, Dave Buchanan and TimP were all in attendance but under the weather in some form or other but all managed to demonstrate the power that lies under the bonnet...and Farmer Joe from Leeds Wall brutalised almost everything also. Many, many femmes turned up too but I was obviously too involved in crushing to ahem, notice their exploits, other than watching Shawna who was, as ever, interstellar.
Thanks to all the guys, Ollie, Steve, the Bowers brothers et al for putting on the comp and all those judges now able to enjoy the rest of the night at the curryhouse I expect.
-
Congrats to the Depot boys fro putting on a fun night, comp problems looked great and the new section of wall is very impressive. The Beastmaker board is a bit harder to get up than The Works edition and is a great angle with some well made interesting shaped holds. I look forward to punishing myself on it this winter!
-
Fun night. Quite big queues for problems but this is to be expected with so many people there. Well done to all who crushed. I was crushed by the roof. Need to get properly warmed up for it I think. Crouch was on good form but didn't run into many other UKB regulars. Cheers Olly et al.
-
Up far too early this morning and hurting all over but it was a great night and I was impressed by the gun show on that orange roof problem! It was good to meet a few of the ukb monsters like Stallion, nik, uptown, John and mr Hunt rocking a horrible t shirt ;)
I climbed like a bit of a leper after the first 5 problems and should have had some tactics like sitting off and beta whoring on the techy problems as I only clocked out what to do when it was too late :spank:
The big roof was immense, the black 20 tres bon and the beastmaker tricky to get up.
Going to try and get there regularly with John M if possible to improve P.E. as I looked at the yellow and had a whitey and didn't even pull on :-*
Off to N Wales now to get even more broken and deposit last nights curries into a suitable services as i don't want to have to fumigate my house.
-
[curryparp] I'm :o to admit I quite enjoyed the plastic last night - twas good to meet some fellow tricksters too. I might have to abandon my indoor phobia to become either injured or beastly this fall. What evenings did you say your masterclass was Stallion? [/curryparp]
-
Twas a good night, if a little mosh-pit-esque at times...
A nice wall though, I'm sure I'll be back there providing flailing entertainment for the beast contingent soon.
-
What evenings did you say your masterclass was Stallion?
I am currently allowed out(in) on (two of) Mon/Wed/Friday. Skooling usually starts from 5ish.

:spank: where are the DFBWGC?
-
I don't own a camera Slackers, but I have images both seared into my retina's and held in my memory banks for further use. I wouldn't know where to put the dongle though.
-
Cheers for coming down everyone. Glad you all enjoyed it. Unlike robertostallioni I did have a camera, although with it being as busy as it was, I only managed to get a few quick momments....
Anyway the best of the shots are here www.flickr.com/photos/19083292@N00/sets/72157613131432840/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/19083292@N00/sets/72157613131432840/)

Clearly Olly had other priorities, but he's saved your arse (where the dongle fits btw :P)...

Don't you mean "Stallion spotting bottom in pic"?

Not sure how I managed to miss so many UKB peeps.
Dyno comp was pish. Need another one with more SCIENCE.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3483/3914564255_b5d1121350.jpg)
Spread 'em. On another note both me and my mate managed to get touched up by a member of the Haigh family :dance1:
-
It's more impressive if you manage to not get touched up by one of them.
-
Has Oli managed to put the results in any sort of order yet? Did you or I win, Nik? :)

Glad you're all liking the shots. Stallioni, strange you and Nik did have highest scores.....
Will; the dyno comp got cancelled as it was just too busy for a fun comp. If we do another it defo will have more science!!
Cheers Ol

Nice snaps. Sounded a lot of fun. Crouch has been piping on about doing a Masters in Leeds now.

Maybe sacking that and going down the pgce route even :-\
-
I'm keen to head back either this week or next if any of the Liverpool lot want to do a lift share? Psyched to get on the new board and the big over hang again with out the comp pressure!
-
I missed it - was coming back from day in the sun at Porth Ysgo when it was kicking off. Not sure I would have coped with baying hordes anyway.
-
I'll definitely be keen for a visit if possible John. I think I can do Thursday either this week or next. Message me your mobile as I have lost it when I got a new phone!
-
Fuck's sake, sounds like I missed a blinder. You better hold another one soon!
