Stupidly graded problems (one 6B is a path - the next 6B is impossible) sandtext coated walls to give you road rash if you do something wrongI think Steve McClure does a lot of the setting there. You can often spot his problems, as many are NAILS for the grade.

M: Rockcity Hull. My love hate relationship with this festering plywood creation continued. Stupidly graded problems (one 6B is a path - the next 6B is impossible) sandtext coated walls to give you road rash if you do something wrong - and this week a stupid fucking nubbin on the pointy fucking tip of a wanky fucking volume let to my foot pinging off and being lanced by the tip just below the knee. Fuck that. Fucking plastic and plywood... why did I bother putting my foot there - I could see the numbers - see what would happen.This is how it looks today - a week later...

Ah, I was hoping you had a magical shorter persons way of doing the match. In isolation I can just about get my left foot on the obvious big hold by bumping my right hand off the comfy sloper onto a crimp next to it then get into a fairly solid horizontal Egyptian. But I don't think that'd work on a link, I'm reduced to trying to snatch the rail as I fall past it which is fairly low percentage.
Worked out yesterday that buy using a foothold just down and left for the right I can get LF on the big blocky thing a lot easier and I managed to do it on a link from the kneebar. Unfortunately there's three moves in a row I can fall off fresh but as I also linked start to matching the lip crimp with the kneebar in I guess I have to start trying it fo real.

For the South IIIRC there is a wall in Kings Lynn, if you're in N.Lincs then bridge across to Hull and (gulps at potentially recommending it) Rockcity...
