Why beyond shit?
Do they have a campus board, i'd consider an hour on that, then watch a cheaper television x film where they guys hard ons are taped to their stomachs and you don't get to see any clitoral lippage.

No campus board. Think they have a fingerboard? Other than that it's some not very good bouldering - worth it if you're bored but it isn't comparable to good walls (think notably worse than the matrix if you're familiar with Sheffield walls).

was always a touch "basic" back in the day - but I learnt the "ropes" there, so vaguely fond memories

It's like many training facilities in the uk it's what you make of it. I use the wall as it's local to me, the bouldering setting at the moment is pants but if you use your own ideas you can get a reasnoble session. Definitely no campus board, moon finger board however. Just don't look at the grading, shocking.

Oh, and a nice sharia-style no shirts off policy, despite the lack of ventilation

Well I went as hotel didn't have pr0n movies available
Route settings a bit weird there, as i tried something that didn't allow features, but a local said "yeah you can use them on that bit, but not there"
Got a bit bored so just bimbled and stared at the womens arses

I hope the women's arses made up for the lack of pr0n at the hotel, the bouldering probably didn't. I can't say I often understand the setting or grading there, nor enjoy the problems. It's sad when the things you put up on the woodie at home are better than something a wall can come up with. Not helped by the fact that a Brookes is so expensive for what you actually get. The lead tower routes are generally a bit better set than the bouldering, but even then anything other than the BMC leading ladder stuff tends to be a bit weird grade wise and not that inspiring as a route goes (if plastic can be inspiring).
