Big banging toons, lots of dnb/jungle rather than house/techno/pop. :dance1:

Scatty old sofa to mong around on in between burns.

No ventilation or heating.

All climbing mags must suffer from random graffiti (e.g. moustaches, fake boobs etc..) on people in pictures.

Surely windowless, basement/bunker venue is a given.

Only one wall needs to be named and it should be named The Wave.

Lots of psyched friendly people is bonus too.

That's a lot of people.
It would need to be a very big room.

At least one woodie, 30-50 degrees, with bad footholds and a permanent array of handholds.  Preferably hiddenn away in a dedicated room to avoid crowding by kid's parties etc.

Yup. The foundry is nearly the perfect venue. I can't believe you've all missed the most important thing a training venue needs... Attractive members of one's preferred gender. I always pull down much harder if I'm desperately trying to impress a lass.

That sort of reasoning could make the Mini Works the perfect venue, lots of attractive mums who are very easily impressed.

Various posters of old men in erotic positions. If it's a wall for Doylo you're building?

Skin friendly holds.

By far the most important.
