Nice one :0)
Which did you do?
The green at the right of the main steep wall, the blue up its arete and the pink on the next line beside it with the stepped overhangs are all good routes of similar level and if you've climbed one then you should definitely have a go at the others.

ey, i climbed the green route, n blue, then i did a route on the opposite wall- that was steep also ! i did all that in 2hours- so my arms are huge now ! and im no 'young' spring chicken either. but id like to think so...! the bouldering section got some new holdz today, so any interested boulderes-there maybe new routes for you today.
had a go at rochdale climb main overhang last week , that is a toughie as its no where near as high as MCC, but very bulgy on the overhang -so yeah cool .

went back there agin today- showed my son the green route-
soon cracked on again with that.... then only got half way up the 'blue route' - the soddin sun were shining through the 'stain-glass' round window right in my eyes -it were putting me off, so came back down ! did 1 or two more leads on the opposite wall instead. came back with E11 video too so happy watching tonite !
