I think the banner cycles too fast. Each frame should be up for twice as long and maybe a nice fade transition instead of that harsh cut. Probably need to make a series of transition frames for the fade, but someone with the skills to do those graphics should be able to onsight that issue.

Based in huddersfield I try and mix up the walls I go to (works, citybloc, depot, leeds wall and hudds wall) But I have to say recently depot has really ups its game.

Honestly my favourite is the works but Depot is a strong second and a shorter drive so it tends to win when I am looking for a good session.

I am loving the new comp wall all the problems are well set and entertaining. The circuit wall is good too. They both keep reminding me I am too fucking weak and I need to get strong.

Keep up the good work Depot   :thumbsup:

Do think they might add that endorsement to the banner?

Now look here chaps. That rapidish changing Depot banner is annoying me. Either get it changing less frequently and get a decent transition worked out OR just show a different frame each time a user changes page or whatever you technical boys call them.

Shame to let such a nice set of graphics get so badly presented,

Loving the slide of climbing terminology into mainstream use.


On a related topic, the Depot is a cracking facility with really well set problems that are changed often. Plus it's only 20 mins train/walk from centre of Bradford. Perfek.

Having been once a while ago with Nik, I thought it was a good wall.  I'd go except for the distance.

Just looked at their banner. Must say i'm impressed by their energy: they promise a new wall, a new shop AND new problems every week! How many shops and walls have they got now??

You can't move around Leeds without tripping over a new shop or hitting your head on a new campus board these days.
