    Nice to see modern full-spec climbing gym opening in the UK... a nice change of pace from boulder-only gyms

      Totally, it’s been so long since we’ve had a world class lead wall, but to have a world class bouldering wall within the same building - that’s genuinely a first for the UK

    As a climber who lives in Manchester this is absolutely amazing - on top of the depot already here. (Feel bad for rockover though haha)

      This is my city and I go to the Depot in Trafford Park and the membership is reasonable too. You can go to any Depot for £46 a month and the bouldering one I go has a small gym too. You can get a little cheaper on a 12 month contract but I didn’t know if I would enjoy it at first.

      ​@CloudCoderChap I go The climbing hangar in Liverpool.
      Depot was the first bouldering gym I ever went to.
      Depot is massive so I can't begin to imagine how big this place.
      Might have to reconsider my other membership n join depot

    Yes, yes, its great to see a new wall open. Yes, its a very comprehensive facility.
    Unfortunately, between Depot & Climbing Hangar, countless small independent gyms have gone under.
    These 2 corporate entities alone are killing the traditional, local walls that support communities in a wholesome way, by producing carbon copy, sterile, faceless environments.
    Its shameful really, and even more so when publications such as yourselves push them as the best thing since sliced bread.
    Support your local independents people.

      @smashbadger2460 KAL, ROKT, Warehouse, Aireborough leisure centre's wall, and various others. Big corporate interests destroy real local business, and contribute far less to the communities they are set up in & around. Depot started as just a local wall, then the big money came from a donor, and it began to kill off local competitors, and expand nationwide. Competition is good in this industry, because you guarantee, when the hype about gym climbing dies off, and they start closing branches to save money, the sport will die back like skateboarding did in the '80's. And there won't be any locals left to cater to the real core climbers. If you put your money into the independents, they compete with each other, quality improves, and its a self sustaining industry. Big donors just create monopoly, and stifle creativity.

      @smashbadger2460 posted a reply twice & either youtube or the channel nerfed it.
      Rokt, KAL, Warehouse, and various smaller ones in leisure centres like the one in Inverness, and many more.
      Big donors come in and make it a monopoly, but you can guarantee when the sport goes out of fashion like skateboarding did in the 80's, depot & hangar will close branches to save money, and there will be no independents left for the real core climbers.
      Support independents.

      @@g.w.customcreations3534 ROKT is still open, Warehouse closed and have reopened and enormous new centre called 270, the one in Inverness only closed because the Ledge opened which is a charity operated centre. All the smaller leisure entre closers are because local councils can't afford the wall and the staff.

    Thats a smack in the face of independents. Looks like a well considered space, but man it feels souless and one track minded.
    Props to all the work thats gone into it though. Really is the peak of climbing.
    Gonna miss those chalky dark sheds full of woodies, and the small communities that come with them soon. C'est la vie.

      Hi, Geography degree here. By no metric is Manchester considered the midlands. We actually did an experiment on this and we unanimously agreed amongst a combination of data and 100 people in the room that the line that divides the North from the Midlands runs on the bottom edge of a town called Worksop.
      The only 2 people in the room who disagreed with this were both from Sunderland - and both admitted that it was an emotional rather than rational perspective.
      Long story short, nobody cares.
