cardiff boulering centres

Might have a couple of hours tomorrow morning before kickoff and thinking of a spot of boulering before drinking my bodyweight. Is boulders climbing centre the best bet and js it any good? Thanks.

Sorry Chris, never been to a wall in Cardiff, it is the only one I know of though, and I'm just across the water, so it's probably your best bet. Clart and richie seemed to like it

Went to boulders a few times when i was working down there, perfectly acceptable, with a good steep section.

You've got boulders or V9 (formally the climbing station). Haven't been to Boulders for ages. V9 has got some quality problems at the moment including 50 winter comp problems set by Liam Fyfe. It opens at 9.30am and is here:

http://www.v9-bouldering.com/

I might be down there tomorrow if the weather's shit, don't let that put you off though.

You can get to V9 by train from the city centre or drive, obviously.

Boulders is here:

Closer to the city centre. They operate a strict chalk on policy and don't allow loose tops.

Weird, the climbing station links in that old thread i linked to redirect to boulders - I assumed they were one and the same. Apologies for any confusion. V9 looks good, esp if you're rained off dinas.

As I got to bed at just after 4 and was woken up by street sweepers at about 6 it was never going to happen, but thanks anyway.

I'm getting too old for stag weekends.

Nah, just made it back to accomodation, but mechanised ones were going up and down outside the window!
