Are there any other Outdoor bouldering places in UK (west midlands)

I have been here at white castle before and it's pretty incredible but its in london and im from West Mids so its a long trip. With the hot weather coming up im wondering if theres any others?

When i look up outdoor bouldering it only comes up with climbing actual rocks outside not bouldering walls like this.

The gym set a climb where you squeeze through a tunnel, I decided to try going up and down.

And for anyone curious, yes, for the Instagram video I used the "Secret Tunnel" song from Avatar.

Checked out a new gym while traveling and this place has at least one dyno per set

Finally sent my project

Establishing on the second wall, the crossover type move and conserving enough energy for it were the hardest parts.

Several attempts as a beginner

Took some tries to complete this route. No doubt my climbing technique still has lots of room for improvements ...

Recently into bouldering and I would like to know how you guys build your fingers strength and endurance, this is harder that I thought and would love to improve it!

Cave climbing is not for me...

Managed a day flash on this, but not for me!

Edit: interesting discussions on the use of the term day flash!

My first dyno

Took a few days and multiple tries but finally got this one, which was very difficult for me at first. Been very inspired by all the ports here. Progress, not perfection.

Busy with important vertical meetings

Told myself “one quick session after work” and suddenly it’s 10pm and I’m fighting for my life on the same move.
