Anyone know anything about this new wall. The building it's in is the obvious choice for miles around. lets hope it's a success.
In reply to Kipling Groove: Been discussed on several threads over the last few weeks,try searching the site for either rokt or climbing wall brighouse
In reply to Kipling Groove: HI, it's due to open March 2011. At the moment they have just received planning permission and have started construction. At the moment they are T-nutting 700 plywood boards......
The website is here: http://www.rokt.co.uk/
They certainly look to know what they're doing if the plans are anything to go by. I for one can't wait for it to open.
Things to look forward to include:
Soloing Stunt Mat, DJ nights, Bouldering competitions, Chilli nights, Club Freebies, Outdoor ROKT introduction, ROKT gear shack, Cash prize - routes, Ambassador membership scheme, After school Club, Film nights.
Hope to see you all there in March.

In reply to James Paul Robinson: Silo's will be 18mtr from the belay platform and feel amazing to be inside. All graded the same per silo, so you can climb with your friends at say 7a without the noise of kids groups etc. The Lead wall is 20mtrs with some serious overhanging walls. Opposite there is a beginners slab for teaching etc. Stage 2 will give us a 28mtr comp grade lead wall in its own arena with incredible views from the top. Can't wait to get stuck in with the build.
This was posted about a month ago, the build is now under way!!

Sounds like it's going to be awesome. I might be making the journey from Glossop to visit fairly often by the looks of things.

It will certainly be a step up from tired old Huddersfield for all my Bratfud and Calderdale lot <waves> I'm not sure how parking is going to work round there though... given I drive past the building they are planning on using every time I go to Huddersfield and know how little parkign there is around the roads there...

In reply to Dan Lane:
I too can foresee myself making the journey from Leeds. The silo's are going to have dedicated grades so each silo will be just one grade. Like a 7a silo and a 6a silo etc. Saves kids getting in the way of wads and vice versa.

There's a huge council car park opposite. I suspect you may have the wrong building. You don't pass it on the way to Hudds.

In reply to Franklin the pedantic cat:
I've thought for a while:
a) how cool a building it would be to photograph in the right light (though I'd have to be on top of an adjacent building to achieve what I'm visualising;
b) wouldn't it make a good (if cold) venue for a climbing centre!

> There's a huge council car park opposite.
I didn't realise it was huge, it looks quite tiny when I've driven past (but then, I'm usually driving when I'm going that way through Brighouse. Having to pay for parking AND for climbing would make the place considerable less attractive.> You don't pass it on the way to Hudds.
You do if you're coming from Shipley having picked people up on the West of Bradford!I've thought for a while:

In reply to PontiusPirate:
The huge carpark is opposite the site and I believe it's free after a certain time, perhaps 6pm though I will check on this tomorrow when there. There is also a fair bit of land adjacent to the building though I don't know what's happening with that as yet.
When you say you pass the building do you mean on Bradford road? If so Rokt is at the other end of the road you pass.
Work started last monday(17th) and then first two bouldering rooms are coming along nicely, also I wouldn't be too worried about it being too cold as there will be a full heating system installed.

Personally I think the opposite couldn't be more true.
But being fairly local I can only hope that it is a good venue.

Well working on the project at the moment I can safely say that they actually do know what they are doing and that it really will be something for not just the Yorkshire area but for the whole of the north of England.

its a hoax!!!!
cant say it enough times! - HOAX, HOAX, HOAX!
Silos? nobody would know what the hells going on, is there a supervisor in each one!, Health and safety will lock it up!

In reply to major stabby: I'm doubting its a hoax, seems to have put a fair bit of effort in for no foreseeable gain for it to be a hoax.
On the other hand it does seem a pretty huge project to just be self built (heard they are getting in randomers to T-nut the panels for them). Going to be some major structural work involved and the wall will have to be up to spec standards wise.
Bouldering looks impressive, Although I have to admit I'm not sold on the silo idea.

In reply to Mark Westerman:
I'm not convinced by the silos, from the pictures I've seen, but it'll be great to have a decent wall close to Huddersfield.

I'm working on Rokt as one of the joiners. No hoax, it's gonna be the muts nuts. Boulder chambers, circit wall, boulder comp wall, traverse wall, lead climbing, and top rope silos. Busy times!!! Less than 5 mins from the M62. Free parking on site and over spill parking on the council car park across the road. 30p per hour, free after 6pm and free on Sundays. I can't wait for it to open so i can get uber fit for some hard routes this year. Any questions welcome
In reply to monkeyman79: Is it on track for the march opening?
In reply to Kipling Groove:
Firstly hello to everyone, it’s fantastic to see such interest in ROKT! I will attempt to answer some of the questions that have been put forwards with regards to the wall and explain the reason behind them.
The lead wall will be pretty impressive with a range of angles and again a more volumes and features than you can shake a stick at.
If you come to train here regularly you’ll be able to build up some beastly stamina as all our routes will be at least 20m (climbing from the floor of the silos rather than from a belay platform as previously discussed).
There will be a huge variety of bouldering on offer including a circuit room, 2 large boulder rooms full of roofs, arches, suspended volumes, slabs and anything else you can think of.
With respect to the silos yes they are vertical, in order to maximise the space in these unique structures we are keeping the framework and cladding vertical as opposed to overhanging or slabby. This does not mean that they won’t be featured; we are planning to fill the silos up with lots of funky volumes of all different sizes and get creative with some possible suspended stalactites too.
A lot of research has gone into the design of the wall and the site is fantastic and most importantly we are all very keen climbers (including a lot of the joiners working on site and most of the volunteers).
If you’d like to ask me any other questions feel free to message me on here or the facebook group.
p.s. yes so far we're on schedule
Cheers

I don't know either way but I'm curious as to why people would be saying its a hoax. Its not a normal reaction to a large wall being announced

I don't think it's a hoax as I know three people who are going to work there when it opens. Also well I spoke to owners about the wall last february when they were just starting to plan the project based on the elland site that fell threw.
I just hope its a good wall with interesting routes and problems that are regularly updated. At least it can't be worse than the hudds wall.

Being nosy, I thought it time to go have a look. So off we go to Brighouse this Saturday afternoon.
And it's not a hoax. We were made very welcome (and a cup of coffee) and given a complete guided tour, from top to bottom. And I think I saw Blackpool Tower (or was it Emley Moor mast?) from the 'summit' of the main competition leading wall (not built yet, but the space is Gouffre Berger, if you'll allow the hyperbole). Jaw-dropping.
There are so many nooks and crannies, rooms, caves, alcoves (yes, and silos) that it will take about six visits before you've found every zone. As in: "oh look another bouldering room with suspended stalactites... how come I never saw that before".
There were loads of busy guys, screwing it all together, T-nuts, panels, beams, all flying around. It will be a hectic race to get it open for March but I feel sure that some of the tastiest bits will be ready for action. By next winter, it could well be ranking alongside the biggest and best in Britain. Think of the complexity of The Castle... and then triple the height!
But for me, I think the best bit was the attitude of the guys in charge. Leigh and Euan are very receptive to ideas, very willing to talk about their project and, in so doing, create very strongly the feeling that you'll really want to 'belong' to this development. The words 'climbing community' rather than 'business venture' came to my mind very strongly.
So, good luck with the build, guys: no hoax: see you in March.

I've never thought of the thing as a hoax and am looking forward to visiting (I guess next winter, as long as it is same price or cheaper than Leeds)
The thing that bothers me is the quality of the overall plan/design. I suppose I am referring to the soloing stunt mats, head cams etc, which I don't quite "get" which makes me doubt a whole load of other things too. I would also point out one glaring mistake in the advertised specification of the wall but I don't know where to send the bill!

Went down on Friday morning to help with a bit of T-nutting. Nice bunch of guys down there and a really good feel about the place.
Even if only half of the plans come to fruition it is going to be an amazing place to climb!

:If your doubting anything and you want it resolved give them a call they will talk you through it there is minor changers happening all the time to make sure its truly awesome experience the main designer is on site running the job making sure there is no shortcuts or future problems
As for the head cams its for fun all the walls and silos will be camera ed up for you for showing you how to do it and how not to also if you want you could be famous and post all your climbs on YouTube teaching the routes on line.

In reply to Kipling Groove: I got down there at the weekend and its looking really good Circuit room and traversing area are up, framing for the main bouldering area is done and there was work going on both in the silos and the beginning of the 25m overhanging lead wall!

Aye, that all very well but will there be high-gloss paint panels, sub-zero tempreatures and a knackered coffee machine - that's what i ask for a proper wall.

Evening all...I'm the designer dealing with the architectural side of the project and CDM.
Firstly the idea of such a project being a hoax is stupid and why anyone would believe that is beyond me, but i think this has now been dealt with.
So far everything is going well, with the usual mixture of frustrations associated with such a project and working with a building that has been left empty for over 10 years. It is throwing up challenges, but this is the most exciting thing about working with an existing building!
Euan and Leigh who are the brain childs behind the whole venture, really are commited and focused on what needs to be done and how we do it. They have no illusion to just how much work is ahead of them. The guys on site are a good team, who are working well together and all have the right energy and attitude.
Euan and Leigh should be commended for having the balls to take on this project. England needs more people like this, especially at a time when things are tough.
If anyone would like to see any 'in progress photos' then please just zap me an email and i'll fire some back to you (paul@cadvis3d.co.uk).
Any questions, just ask...

grabbed the tour today. Wow its bloody huge.
The bouldering area is coming to shape and the circuit room looks almost complete. The shapes look really interesting.
It's got the potential to draw people to travel further.

Since last week loads more of the bouldering area has been surfaced, the floors have been levelled ready for mats to go down and an immense amount of gunk has been washed out of the silos. I'm also getting a horrific training imbalance from wielding the t-nutting drill :s
Should be getting started setting in the circuit room in the next two weeks, so if anyone has any suggestions or requests feel free to pipe up and we'll take it on board.

In reply to willworkforfoodjnr:
Circuits: a few suggestions
1)minimum 35 moves, preferably more, many more (even though tedious to set)- make the difficulty come from the stamina not just the technicality
2)get lots of up/down movement rather than traverses - maximise vertical height travelled
3) keep big slopers to a minimum - they just get chalked up and useless
4) no silly big moves - don't make the grade a function of height - get a short person to check them
5)put on plenty of little screw-ons so that the less technical/less bendy amongst us might be able to find alternative solutions
6)aim for consistency - avoid over-cruxy circuits, otherwise we'll just fall off at the crux rather than at the point of being pumped
7) put any 'rest holds' on steeper ground where there's poor footholds. Acclimatises us to non-rest rests (if you see what I mean)
Looking forward to the first visit.
Carl

Not just to do with circuits/bouldering but....
10) I'd like to be receive an annual assessment of my climbing and periodic review (3 months) with goals and achievements set out - the goals could all carried out by using the facilities at Rokt and integrated with the route setting (stamina/strength/power/technique/ etc). I think if you shell out for a full years membership this coaching service would be really useful to getting the most out of it. Of course you could opt out and still be the gifted amateur. Id probably pay a little extra for this service/direction and would prefer over the informal on the night coaching advice that most centres offer.
It would probably help sell more latte's too.
11) Please add ventilation to the Silos - they look like they could cook you in the scorching Yorkshire summers!

In reply to willworkforfoodjnr: how steep are the lead walls going to be? i know the silos are vert but would the other lead walls be steeper than other local walls like leeds and harrogate?
In reply to mendis: Not my area, but from the look of it they will be fairly similar angles, just with another 9m stuck on top...
In reply to Kipling Groove:
Work has been coming along well this week, we've started work on the comp boulder wall and the main bouldering chamber with a monster roof for the hardcore heroes.
Floors are being put into the silos ready for cladding to start.
Construction has started on the balcony ready for sipping lattes, marveling at the fine selection of bodies on the comp wall and taking full advantage of our free wifi.
I'm going to be getting stuck into the construction of volumes of all shapes and sizes this coming week... and yes probably be doing some T-nutting as well.

Well I managed to avoid the t-nutting last week, completed the floors in the silos and started construction on the floor of the boulder comp wall.
Managed to catch a dose of man flu at the weekend so I've had a couple of days off but I'm back on it tomorrow, hopefully to start offering up some of the frames to the comp wall (4 bays that will be 4.5m high and 4m over hanging) tis a badass comp wall
Construction of the main lead wall should start this week as well ( had an ab down it the otherday and it feels fairly huge!)
Big up to the team working at ROKT, they're pulling out all the stops to make the place awesome!

Latest update from my visit to Rokt today…
I was amazed at the progress since I last called in, several weeks ago – these boys are working HARD.
The bouldering cavern is ready for holds and it looks amazing… possibly the most exciting bouldering room in the UK…. Just wait ‘til you see it!
The circuits room is ready to go and will receive its first ‘route’ on Tuesday.
The skeleton for the competition bouldering wall is a true work of art, clearly the product of some CAD genius on acid and, when cladded, will be terrifying. Neat that you’ll be able to sit on the mezzanine and be close enough to smell the sweat….
The materials for the 22m lead wall were lugged indoors this morning.
And the guys who’ve come in off the street to decorate the walls are doing a great job… just look at the three-eyed skull jetting rainbows from its eye sockets. Wow!
Things are just getting more and more exciting.
Great job, Leigh, Euan and all the team…. Can’t wait.

I've not seen the Fat Boys in ages! good point though. Work's been getting in the way rather a lot recently but looks to be calming down a bit. I'll be looking to climb to the north of the M62 mostly as summer arrives though.

In reply to Tall Clare: Yeah, I think some kind of find a partner ni9ght will be running, there will certainly be a board for people to post on looking for a partner. We open a week tomorrow with a silo and all our bouldering completed. After that we'll have the lead wall finished by the 16th (Grand Opening Event) and will open up more and more of the silos through the year.
In stage 2 which is yet to be finalised we have a lot more planned!
We've got the room to double our bouldering facility (come along and see how much we've got at the moment and this should give you a fairly good idea of how much bigger we can be. AND we have room for 2 levels of 14m lead walls AND a 28m high lead wall!
Come along on the 16th of April for the Grand Opening and you can see for yourself!

The soft opening was today, and as Ed says the bouldering will be fully open on monday. The official opening is on the 16th with a guest appearance from a very well known and respected climber. More details on the facebook page.

Highly recomended and the answer to the black hole in the middle of Lancashire / Yorkshire! Sure to become a massive venue of national importance.
Well done to all involved - you ROK!

The pub me and my mates have been to was the old ship inn http://www.theoldshipinn.t83.net/ its just around the corner.
Good selection of ales some largers and erdinger. On wednesday nights they sell Andrew jones porks pies (award winning local pies).
Gets my vote. Hope that helps.
There is also a very large weatherspoons in the centre of brighouse which is actuatlly ok (surprising for a 'spoons). Next door to the sppons there is a decent curry place called the street. They do a buffet and the starters are amazing!

In reply to Bulls Crack: They're not far off, I'm in the process of organising route setters for the lead wall and the 2nd silo so some time between the 20th and the end of may we should have 36 top rope routes and around 35 lead routes
