Climbing wall aims to scale fundraising

A climbing wall is aiming to scale new fundraising heights after a devastating burglary at its Leeds base.

The City Bloc climbing community was left counting the cost back in August after thieves targeted their space in Kitson Road, Hunslet.

The raiders systematically stripped the business of essential and costly items and caused expensive damage to the base.

The entire café was cleaned out as well as retail fridges - complete with all the drinks still inside them - the freezer, coffee machine, gym equipment and cash from the till.
