Welcome to Broughton Wall
It's 2009. And against all odds Broughton climbing wall still continues to be the best training venue around. Defying the steady march of housing development, this little corner of inner city Manchesta is just what your fingers need to whip them into shape. Yes. You can go and drink lattes at MCC and look at the Czech girls. Yes. You could shiver on slopers in Stockport. God forbid, you could even head East and make those Climbing Works boys even richer.
But you know where you should be. So what are you waiting for? Download Nick's very latest problem list and get ticking.
Otherwise you'll be weak forever.
NEWS FLASH!
The huge boulder has finally started to be developed by Tom and Stuart (aka Mummra). We are currently in the process of route-setting various graded problems. Hopefully it will be finished shortly. Feel free to try out the new routes - just follow the coloured holds!
There is a new, steep, campus board with seven 1st joint rungs on the free standing boulder (the face with the fingerboard on) it's a real challenge to go 1-4-7 on this beauty!
The 45 board has been "De-Jugged" and all the larger footholds removed. Don't despair though! The jugs have been replaced by a selection of minging crimps and the new footholds are barely adequate. This partial reset will render the current (small) collection of problems redundant. A new book will be placed when the reset is complete for recording problems.
PS. These pages are open to all for editing, just click EasyEdit in the left hand corner and get going. Just don't delete that problem sheet...
PPS Typed up the current listed board problems and added to a new XL spreadsheet. The attachment should be available below. (TimB 03/04/2009)

Watch
have been wanting to do this for a long time and i feel that broughton needs it.
where the current (defunct) systems board is, i would like to replace this with a roof area spanning the entire space inbetween the columns. the roof could be of differing angles and heights, or simply be akin to demon wall roof. it would be no higher than the current woodie. what do people think? i've been trying to source free wood from the bbc's in sheff but graeme has told me that the wood is not bmc's to give away. but holds i can get some of to start it up. i shall put up a for/against up at the wall soon as i'm not getting every worshipper to broughton on here. let me know your views here tho in the mean time love ste li |
