Hi.
If indoors, I normally use the Leeds wall or the sports centre at Huddersfield.
I had heard rumour of a bouldering specific centre to be opened in Jan by Steve Dunning (The Climbing Depot??) in the area and wondered if anyone knew anything? Last thing I heard was of possible sites in the Pudsey area. Anyone confirm this info?
Also heard that some skate-park in Leeds had scraped ramp-space in favour of a boulder wall. Is this right? Is it in use already?
Any news is good news and my thanks in advance...
In reply to Galilao: OK, cool. What of Steve Dunnings venture, rumoured to be in the Pudsey area and aslo due to open in Jan? Had heard it was to be called "the climbing depot"
Dont think it ever was going to open, at least not anytime soon. The rumour in the Leeds wall (and its exactly that, a rumour) was that it was only annonced to try and steal the thunder from the impending announcement that CityBloc was going to open.
From what I gather its not even got planning permission and ive not heard of anyone who's been offered a job following the 'annoucement'. Seems to figure given that its been mighty quiet since the intial post.
In reply to snoop6060: Well I don't see why anyone would want to steal thunder, but hey!
A dedicated bouldering centre in west yorkshire will be brilliant! Just a shame it's not on the Bfd side really, they'd make more money too with Leeds already having a wall from those on both the Halifax and Keighley side. (I reckon)
Still. The plan for citybloc looks great and I can't wait for a play!
