Substation is great: changes to the walls regularly, good mixture of difficulties, and a good warm up space. More importantly, there is beer and pizza

Easy. Great place to be, enjoy a beer and a climb. There was a small class on, but loads of space for a Friday.
It was brilliant. Well set out and all levels catered for. Shame that some of the\'boulders\' had taken off and not yet replaced, but we understand they can\'t fix them all every day. Didn\'t stop us all having the best day of the holidays
