Thanks for putting this up. In the south east / London, Lemel is like a mythical creature.

I can confirm that the boulder setting at Mile End is excellent, so great to see Alexander and the team being featured this way. In particular they do a great job of creating interesting problems in the lower range - V1-3 blocs that are engaging and interesting and fun. So many places, blocs of that range are just ladders with smaller and smaller holds and/or the odd “rung” moved or awkwardly placed. At Mile End you could climb an entire session of V1-3 and not get bored. This is something Alexander alluded to in the vides but something he and the team deserve a lot of credit for, because it reflects a great commitment to making climbing fun for everybody, not just those cranking V6 and up.
