According to the search function its never been mentioned here?
Has anyone been here? Staying overnight tomorrow and wondering if its worth a visit?
or shall i spend the money on cable tv p0rn access for the night? :wank:

its beyond shit, pr0n every time

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.
-
ha yes the fingerboard was put up by someone who'd never used one - its so high you have to climb up to it
-
Oh, and a nice sharia-style no shirts off policy, despite the lack of ventilation

Real men wear vests

Real men wear vests
Pink wifebeater vests in fact.

Well I went as hotel didn't have pr0n movies available ;D
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).
