. . . and would those be pinching monkey-swing rails beneath said campus board?!?   

[Bubba]

Went and had a look today - this place is going to be quality

[Doylo]

Did Gullich ever manage 1,5,9?

Well if Irish Si managed it i'm sure the great Wolfgang did 

[Fiend]

Surely 1-8-14 is the new standard!

When i was young and uber keen and still at school, i used to doodle and create the perfect board on my note pad. I use to imagine how cool it would be to open the best climbing wall. To have the best holds, the steepest board, the hardest problems. It would have loads of angles, stupid amounts of roofs (and i seem to remember thinking that a high totty quotant would be important too). The fact that you are realising what has obviously been a dream for you guys is awesome. Its one thing to think, quite another to do. Muchos respect and i'm sure it will be a resounding success.

The Climbing Works will also be sporting grips from the following manufacturers............. SoIll.

just got a set through the post from http://www.thehouseofpower.co.uk/ and they are .... well SO ill
light as a feather, duel texture, can drop them and they bounce and brilliant shapes to boot
makes me feel like

[Falling Down]

Why the pills.... are they to prove to us you're a real doctor ?? or simply for scale?

[Aussiegav]

imagine slapping for those holds and hitting on of those wing things!!!
can you get them at toys r us???

[Bonjoy]

 I'm not sure how psyched I am about holds modelled on frictionless pebbles  .

[fatdoc]

the soill screwies look very cool indeed.... both hands and feet.......

i'm gonna get some asap!!

[Dr T]

not my photo, mine came in black, but for the record Dr T is what the bills come addressed too

I slap for things too much, these need to go static and I need to start to build up lock off strength again

I'm not sure how psyched I am about holds modelled on frictionless pebbles  .

fair enough each to their own....

I love 'em

Ah I see..

Me too (a Dr T that is) although I'm only a pretend one with a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering...

I always looked at those standard pebbley beaches with solid immaculate round grey pebbles and thought it would be cool if there was a crag made of that shit.  Then I went and saw that bubbly wall with a Funky Si' E6 on at Marsland.  And went to sharpnose (but only did cracks as was misty so can only rememebr it being a bit generic).

Hence the pills in the picture then - I bet they are you home manufactured Nandrolene/Steroid compound  ;-)

now you come to mention it...
where did I stash my test tubes 

[Dr T]

I always looked at those standard pebbly beaches with solid immaculate round grey pebbles and thought it would be cool if there was a crag made of that shit. 

never been but from the pictures churnet valley looks like it is.... kind of....

[Paz]

Wye Valley sandstone's the same. 

But my dream crag was more made out of one big giant smooth grey pebble.  There was a photoo in one of the mags a few years ago of this route in a North Devon Hardcore article.

Check out the re-designed website and let us know what you think.

Think it looks a bit better in that colour scheme, however most of your pics arent working for me (anyone else?) and maybe the header being the same width as your text may help make it look a bit more swish.
The gallery is pretty smart imo.
Popped in last night and was really impressed by the way this place is looking, initially I was really dubious about the art work but the detail near those pipes is pretty cool and you can pick out the holds on the training board fine which was another concern I had.
The campus board is awesome as well, the big rungs will be good for warming up/doubles/power endurance slogs.

[GraemeA]

Yep the photos don't work for me either, will ask Matt to have a look tomorrow (slacker has gone out for the evening, staff these days eh)

Good point about the headers and text being the same width.

Intention is to get lots of galleries up over time. Trying to sort out a gallery of FIBO shots at the moment (hint - if anyone has any then can you send them to me) as a sort of bouldering in Sheff history gallery.

FIBO might soon be back under a new alias.

Percy has been setting the green with red spots circuit today so he'll probably get some shots on the Blog later.

Also we have the Le Grande Fromage himself, Monsieur Godoffe, arriving later this week to set some filth and walk up all of the Peak's hardest problems.

[Percy B]

No pictures on blog, cos I haven't taken any. However, all my concerns about whether circuits will work in the Works have been answered. It works....oh Christ, does it work!!!!! Everybody - prepare to get very, very fit and strong.

Doesn't matter how good/strong you are, you can't scare off the rain!  Unfortunately. Wall's looking good.

[GraemeA]

Any of you who have joined up but haven't given us your contact details ie address, phone and email so we can have you all entered on our database can you send me your details via a PM

Doh. Never make a website live and then go out for 5 hours! A few bugs that shou;d hopefully now be fixed. Am working on adding captions to the gallery images and a newsletter subscription facility to the home page.

Any other comments?
