Climbing in the northwest

[Knuckles]

Do we have any climbers here?

Ive been looking into the north west face in warrington but it looks like its only top roping and lead climbing.. Which would require someone to accompany me, interested?


But, can anyone tell me more info about it? Prices, membership, is there a bouldering wall/fingerboard etc

This place is 20 mins from me and would be ideal to occupy me as tbh I do f**k all when I'm not working lol

My mate is into all this Scott. Keeps pestering me to go. I'll have a chat with him and see what he knows and see where he goes etc.

Excellent rob, I'm in no rush... I've left all of my gear in Sunderland lol

Pardon Sam?

Bryan Brothers climb! Love a good bit of climbing.

Yeah we do, not been for ages though..

Knuckles, they have a website http://www.northwestface.com/

and yes they do have a bouldering wall. Have a look on the website, all the details are on there.

Aah cheers, i looked at it on my phone but apple doesnt do flash

when i bring my stuff down from the north east i think ill head over there

 

[JamesBryan]

Oh right.

Well it's £8 a session or £7 (off peak i.e. before 4pm on weekdays). Open 10am - 10pm Mon-Fri and 10am - 6pm Weekends.

There's also a place called Awesome Walls, they have two venues. Liverpool and Stockport.

I've never been there, but the Stockport one has the highest indoor leading wall in the UK.

 

[Knuckles]

how long is a session? or is it all day? (the one in sunderland you could go at 9am and leave at 10pm lol) and do they do a membership? (discount etc)

i think itd be a while before i lead again, been away from it too long lol

 

[JamesBryan]

Sorry yeah the £7/8 can be for the full day.

You can become a 'Life Member' for £10 which will make a day pass £7 instead of £8 and £6 off peak instead of £7.

Annual pass is £320

 

[Knuckles]

hmm, the £10 membership sounds enough lol, how long has it been since you climbed?

 

[JamesBryan]

Since about the start of the year lol

Only been climbing for about a year and a bit, you?

 

[Knuckles]

aah, ive always climbed since i was little on the bouldering walls, then 3 or so years ago my dad and mate got me into top roping and lead climbing but i stopped going as frequently as i started running out of people to climb with lol then before i knew it i hadnt been for a year.

i should be back on form after a couple of weeks though

 

[JamesBryan]

Ahh so you're probably a lot better than me lol

 

[Knuckles]

Forgot about this lol, probably not lol. I've lost pretty much all the strength from my fingers, I used to practise by doing pull ups on door frames lol... I tried it again not too long ago and couldn't hold on to them ha
