Plus points - Very pleasant venue (formerly a church), friendly staff and atmosphere; "rules" seek to limit climbs per rope at such periods; evidently a thriving centre, with on-going development. Sign-in procedure requires a declaration of basic competence by the climber. Increasingly popular as a meeting place for people from the newsgroup uk.rec.climbing. Minus points - Limited parking; route identification/grade listing could be better and more frequent; can be crowded, esp. early evenings. [Steve Pardoe 11/98]
Very clear route identification - better than the Rope Race in Marple and the Edge or Foundry in Sheffield). [Mike Rignall 01/00]
Car parking improved in 2003 [Steve Parish 09/04]
