Comments
Out of interest, whereabouts in Newcastle is the location of the new centre ?
I'm not anything to do with them but if.you look on their social.media they've tagged this location...

Which is Benfield Business Park.
Shame the Anarchy Brewery doesn't open their taproom on weekends anymore, would be handy for a bit of post session refreshment.
Is that really the going rate for managing a wall and all the duty of care/responsibility involved.
I know the hip young kids think working in the climbing industry is cool but is the cool factor really worth that much?
We should stop complaining about entry fees and pay these people properly.
Very low wage for a CM role in 2024...
