In reply to adgm: Well the extension to The Climbing Works isn't close to Meadowhall but it is in Sheffield and will add 1/3rd again to The Works. Coming soon to S8.

Graeme, Will that make The Works bouldering walls about 6 meters high then?

Good luck,

In reply to Dave Douglas: Awesome Walls:

You could add to that; The wall will be well positioned to take advantage of the HS2 high speed rail line, offering world class facilities just 1hr 10mins from London.

Roll on 2033.

In reply to Graeme Alderson:

Climbing or more bouldering?

In reply to Graeme Alderson:
Interesting stuff.

In reply to Dave Douglas: Awesome Walls:

Nice

In reply to Tiberius: More bouldering. A separate unit targeted more at kids, groups and beginners.

In reply to Dave Douglas: Awesome Walls: Great work, love your existing walls.It's going to be good not to have to go all the way to stockport. Thanks and good luck.

In reply to Graeme Alderson: Great news Graeme!
