cheltenham, UK, SW is the BEST
[Hide Comment] Best to reach this area from the walk around from Boardwalk (the guidebook doesnt make this clear) slightly a pain in the arse to get to and belay etc.. DEFINITELY BRING A HELMET!

Upper wall routes looked amazing, unfortunately not the purity of line i was hoping for, trying too hard to force a line and the bolt positions reflected this. Nice rock thou, good for a change of scenery, but I preferred the visions wall++ Oct 22, 2015
