Demolished in July 2019 to make way for the new humanities building. This page is left for the historical record.
Big blue concrete cylinder on the University of Warwick campus. Features thin breaks and slopey pockets containing knob shaped things. Problems finish standing on the top. This pipe was home to the first recorded boulder problems on campus, though people had been climbing the taller buildings for decades.
Located behind Senate House (GPS Coordinates).
