In reply to GargoyleFeet:
> Welcome to real climbing
That was a helpful post, and I respect the fact that you took the time to put together some useful information for the OP, but that one little remark is just terrible, and emblematic of everything that is wrong with British climbing.
Trad is great, and it's my preferred style too, but to suggest that anything else isn't 'real' is sheer stupidity. In most other countries in the world, the ability to shuffle up a succession of ledges, placing gear every two metres, is generally considered to constitute the absolute nadir of climbing, the antithesis of a pursuit which is supposed to be both exhilarating and athletic. The OP says that they are predominantly an indoor climber, in which case they may well have done some outdoor sport and bouldering and so enjoyed climbing in nature just as much as you and any other hex-wielding bumbly, albeit in a slightly different fashion, but even if their forays into the outdoors have been quite limited, they are still just as much a 'real' climber as you - so long as they've been enjoying themselves moving on rock or plastic, most likely with their mates.
Denigrating indoor climbing isn't cool, it reeks of an antiquated mindset which trumps heritage and past glories over getting out and getting shit done, regardless of the style. So, to the OP: Try some trad, I hope you enjoy it! If you don't, don't worry; not everyone likes it, and if you find that you still prefer indoor climbing/sport/bouldering/literally anything, that doesn't make your experiences any more or less valid than anyone else's.
Edit: Oh, and I'd second slab_happy's recommendations, with the caveat that those routes follow cracks, and so will feel hard if you're not used to jamming. You could also consider routes like Maud's Garden and Heather Slab on the Upper Tier, which involve lots of slopers and smeary feet (good for getting used to grit technique).
