Yo!

Anyone climb regular at Big Rock in Milton Keynes?

Whats it like? I'm a slightly larger chap so often struggle on overhang'y or tech routes.... (if I am brutally honest!). Is there much there for me you reckon?

Ta!

Yeah plenty of shorter and slabby stuff as well as corner climbs and vertical walls. I'm in exactly the same position as you, FWIW

Cheers man! If there is a bit of easier stuff for a 14st big'un like me will give it a blast sometime.

Assume there is somewhere for me to leave a bike?

Climb steeper, get stronger!

That's the grand plan!

Still at my size can't ever breeze many sit starts bouldering.

There are Sheffield stands under a shelter type thing just outside the main door. While obviously at your own risk I've never had issues locking mine up there.

14st? Big? Ha! (Stick at least another 4 on for me...)
