Secret Bouldering location

This is Eden Rock, one of the best climbing walls in England
But it has 1 star reviews
Matthew Barrington said
“it is the worst climbing gym I’ve ever been to...if travelling avoid at all costs…Get yourself to Depot Manchester”
What does Matthew Barrington know that we don’t?
I really like Eden Rock
But does that make Depot Manchester a super gym?
Well I travelled over 100 miles to find out
My first impression was that it is nice and clean and has lots of problems to try
But they grade on colour and the red ones are v2 to v5
Which whilst the problems were fun it meant I spent the majority of session climbing below my limit
So I was confused by Matthew Barrington’s review
That was until I found this secret bouldering room
Shh…Don’t tell anyone
And these climbs were some of the best I’ve tried
They were super fun and flowey and you could use lots of different techniques to solve them
And it made me feel like Tomoa Narasaki
So I thought I’d try some boulders from a recent competition
And quickly realised I’m not

V2 to v5 feels psychotic as a grading band lol

[@drk_end5347]

always go to depot manchester as my first bouldering gym and the colour grade banding throws me off BUT the climbs are always pretty fun
