The School Room
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The School Room is an infamous rock climbing training facility in Sheffield, England. The facility was made famous by its reputation for its extremely difficult problems. Also, many notable international rock climbers were trained at The School Room. These include Ben Moon, Malcolm Smith, Jerry Moffat, and Richard Simpson.
The School Room received its name from the fact that it forms a portion of an old school building, of which another portion is used for an art studio. It was built in 1994 by Gavin Ellis, Ben Tye and Andy Coish. The facility consists of four plywood climbing walls, which are covered with wooden and plastic holds, at angles of 15, 30, 40, and 50 degrees.
