I went a couple of Fridays ago and liked it. Though I was glad to be wearing long trousers! I thought the problems on the whole were well set and interesting. It was not too busy either and most of the people I saw were Nottingham wall users

I went today and was rather impressed. Very different from other modern bouldering walls I've been to(*): lots of slabs & vertical, and they're not afraid to use small holds rather than just setting dynos between big round blobs. Tenacity is rewarded more than dynamic athleticism, which suits me - nobody ever accused me of dynamic athleticism - and I think it's also better for realistic training.

Reasonably priced tea & decent cakes too. Recommended.

All of the above makes it sound brilliant. Shame I don't work in Luffbruff any more.
