What they don't say

  • The Thursday bouldering wall in Bermondsey is not named on the event pages.
  • The Saturday morning venue is given only as central London.
  • The Stronghold Centre's full postcode was garbled in the fetch; only E8 is recorded.
  • Session start and end times are on each event page and were not captured.
  • Whether the Sunday bouldering session is weekly is not stated; only Thursday and Saturday are described as weekly.
  • No minimum age is stated on the pages checked.
  • The charity has no single London base, so no area is recorded.
