Redpoint is good - went just after it opened and was quite impressed but the bouldering area isn't massive...depends what your used to.

Creation are currently extending their bouldering area. I think Repoint attracts the stronger boulderer though and I think Mirf sets there too.

Cant comment on the redpoint wall, but i was working up that way not so long ago, i was there for 16 days and visited the Creation wall on six occasions, i thought it was ok and quite sociable, fairly large, but if your cranking hard you may run out of things to do, i am only a mid grader and i done a lot in those 6 evenings, but hey that was February.

Moo,

If you're training hard, it might be worth getting in touch with Alex at Warwick Uni in Coventry (lx on UKC http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/profile.php?id=13534).
