the holds and climbs feel like they were not put together with care and all around felt clunky. i do like how the auto belay does not help you up the climb but besides that the routs feel incomplete and the rout markers don’t help indicate the difficulty very well.

Super cool people, the auto belay is awesome! You can go by yourself for that reason they were so nice and didn't make fun of me when I said I peed my pants from being scared of heights
