SITE MOVED

Hello there - if you are looking for the website for the new Liverpool Bouldering wall please go to:

WWW.THECLIMBINGHANGAR.COM

see you there!

New Circuit

Just in case you are still reading this one instead of the main website (www.theclimbinghangar.com)

The I thought you should know that there is a new circuit being set this Sunday night. Reds come down to replaced by purples, more V3-5 action. So if you have any reds left to do, 26.5hrs of climb time left to send them!

Moved!

Now I am the bad man here, I was supposed to tell everyone that i have in fact moved the general info about the centre to the main website as maintaining one blog is well enough for my tiny brain, two would cause long term damage. So go here for the knowledge now:

www.theclimbinghangar.com

As for my general musing, witty banter and Stephen Fry like wit, well perhaps I will make guest appearances on UKB or something, I might need to use some sort of cover name however as now as owner/manager of a bouldering centre I will either have to a. make my dialogue totally inoffensive, not have an opinion and remove my spine or b. disclaim all statements with small print that says the views of Ged do not represent the views of the management of The Climbing Hangar, oh hold on, I am the management.... I will use a cover name.

Over and out - Guy Incognito.

Opening Day Info and flyer

Doors open at 12.00 on Saturday January 8th to Liverpool’s newest and best indoor climbing experience

And in the evening…

The Climbing Hangar launches the Project Circuit, a circuit set by a prominent British climber with a global CV of world class problems. The circuit will remain up for three months giving us all the chance to ‘project’ the problems outdoor style. Each setter will also do a talk and walk giving you some back ground on the problems, the training and the beta that unlocks the hardest moves. Tom Randall (on the cover of this months Climber Magazine) is our first guest setter.

General climbing will close at 7.30pm for Tom’s interactive circuit/lecture as he will take you round problems from V5 to V12 based on some of his global exploits and some British test pieces. He will be introducing you to what it took to climb them, demoing some moves and giving you the chance to pull and and get some beta for the problems.

The project will be based on the following climbs:

Add some friendly staff, great music, sofa’s and a warm vibe and you have possibly the greatest indoor climbing experience in the universe! (we are biased)

p.s. the eagle eyed among you will notice that Tom's circuit has got easier to give a flavour of crack/groove madness to a broader cross section of society so that all people may love the crack!
