Just wondering if any one on here knows anybody who has done some urban climbing in Newcastle on Tyne?

Particularly whether they have climbed Cruddas Park be or after refurbishment. Wouldn’t mind views on how it would be done too.

Also start a dialogue about putting a buildering charector into a film and how to make it authentic.

    Ahhh, armchair buildering. My favourite! These the right buildings? The old style building looks pretty much unclimbable. The new style though has those neat little coloured mini windows, which are a no-brainer to climb up. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone has been up it, but good luck contacting them.

    Or, if you want to make it hard on yourself, you might be able to get up the other side of the building, heading up the corner where the smaller windows meet the larger ones. Basically a hand and foot on each, and it looks like the distance is short enough to reach one section from the last. The hard move will be pulling up — a hard mantle move with no feet. Maybe you could stem your feet for a bit of help. Pull, get your hands up to your waist, swing your leg up onto the ledge, likely leaning your left shoulder against the left wall, and repeat. I’m guessing this is fairly hard climbing.

    Hopefully there’s an access door on the roof, and typically these are left unlocked outside-to-in. Otherwise bring a rope and rappel. There should be anchors since window cleaners use these.
