Matt Birch Polkas, and new Yellows

Our routesetting calendar is back into normal service now, and today it was time for two new Circuits - Polka (5B-6B) and Yellow (3A-4A). In to help set the Polkas with James was guest setter and general dark horse Matt Birch, who kindly reigned in his monstrous power for long enough to set some lovely mid-grade routes. Featuring brand new pinches, slopers and edges that arrived in the post last week, this new Circuit has flowy steep routes, dynos, balancey slabs, and now feels like a much more rounded tour of problems.

The Yellows were set by Tom B and Sophie, who clearly hadn't had enough of each other after their set on Monday. Some testing 4As in there as well as some nice technical moves on easier holds in the lower grades.

Next week it's Candy Cane set week! We're closed as usual for setting next Wednesday morning, although the rest of the week we'll be opening at 10am for the Easter Holidays - see the opening hours page for details.
