Routes: Professor Plumb (f6a:led), With the Crowbar (f6b:sec), In the Pandy (f6b:sec), Leete Entertainment (f6a+:sec)
Second visit to this useful 'new', if slightly scruffy, local venue. Given my limited strength and lack of climbing, it seemed prudent to start with a lead, and I chose what I think was Professor Plumb at a mild 6a (probably easier). Quite steep but with good rests on good flat footholds. As with lots of the routes here, the climbing is better than it looks with a bit of thought usually required, and often hidden (but usually good) holds. Peter then led the two routes to the right, which were both steep and quite awkward in places, before leading the best of this bunch, Leete Entertainment, which takes a groove below what looked initially like a slab but which was actually a fairly steep headwall. Nicely direct with some good technical climbing and high steps, though-provoking and challenging for me with limited upper body strength.
