Coff coff, splutter splutter...them's fightin words...you're dissin my local gym so I gotta reply! Both Climbfit and the ledge are definitely good but there's no problems with the route setting at St Peters. How long since you've been?...when they first opened in the new place a lot of the routes seemed hastily set and it took them months to get around to replacing them all (there's a lot of walls). But now there's heaps of good stuff and new routes most weeks. Good regulars and atmosphere too (at least Tuesdays + Thursdays).

nb most of the lead routes are shut at the moment due to renos/expansions :(
