Honestly I don’t know that well as I just visited two places only once. I think there are more bouldering problems at CRG and liked their layout of bouldering walls as it’s all in one floor with more dynamic angles. I saw more auto-belays in Wakefield one. Not sure whether this is helpful but I tried!

CRG Warwick: Shorter walls, less autobelays, maybe a bit more bouldering? Nicer, more modern gym overall - full modern training room with weights, moonboard, etc. Locker rooms with showers. In terms of the climbing, I think the grades at Warwick are very soft compared to Wakefield, and I think the route setting at Wakefield is better - more technical and thoughtful/ sequency, I guess? (people describe the routes there as “bouldery”, and some don’t like that)
