That's exceptionally good for London!

Indeed. Even for off peak.

Does anyone fancy giving me the tour down here?
Am I going to get my arse handed to me down there or will I get use out of it as a. Mid 7's climber (bouldering & sport).
Does it have circuit style stuff or is it just pulling on minging crimps on a board?
Cheers

You are going to get your arse handed to you, you'll get excellent use out of it as a mid 7's climber. There are circuits there and you won't find a single minging crimp on the board! Good luck finding someone to give you a tour tho, it mainly caters to training obsessed time starved types.

There used to be a concept of guest entry in the old days - with the associated £2 in a pot thing, but it was massively abused and became a bit of a nightmare. I can remember going up to train on a saturday morning to find 10 people in the small room which was the old school, and only one of them was a member - I think they'd been out on a night out, not slept and gone straight to the board off their faces. I had to roll the bodies off the mats to  pull on.

Partly to avoid scenes like this, but mainly because its been done properly this time - i.e. as a commercial venture, its a requirement of the insurance that all who visit to have completed the necessary paperwork in order to use. So thats why there's no guest entry.

Anyone know if there are many circuits on the 15 and 30 degree boards and what grades they go down too?

Up problems on the 30° and the big board has a purple around 7c+ and pink in the 8s some traverse's you could finish by going up the up problems too

There isn't a 15 degree board.

Thanks. How many moves in the circuits? Anything similar to the works board which covered 7a+ to 9a?
Starting at 7c+ seems hard!

The '7c+' is actually 8a+ IMO. It's 50ish moves. The Pink breaks down into 8a+ (1st 3rd), 8b+/8c (1st 2 3rds) and 9a ish for the full link.

There are plenty of big jugs on the board though, so it wouldn't be difficult to make up a 40+ move 7c. It's generally steeper than the Works board and hard to do much circuit-wise below that kind of standard. It's very good for AnCap style long boulder problems.

Yep.
Built a career on it.

Though I prefer to see it like this:

With the Dunning Kruger being a temporary state on the cusp of stage 1 and 2...

Very good point
Problem is I'm injured and only am climbing on big jugs. So don't wanna move from the works board to the school room and not be able to climb at all  :) yet!
