Just to clarify one thing: one of those topout boulders is more adult oriented. The one with the big prow is set with adult sizes and difficulty in mind, so you can practice your outdoor topouts! The others are mainly for kids, with one being for toddlers. Also, the traverses are for anyone, one is actually set to be somewhat ADA accessible. You can get a wheelchair right to the start holds.
That is so cool & great vid. Would say it’s a modernized Husky Climbing Rock in Seattle (first made mode left rock wall ins USA (1978). Shredded rubberized material reminds me of Vital Climbing Brooklyn roof top.
I was skeptical about an outdoor bouldering gym but once I saw people climbing on it as well as the amount of problems that are actually out there it actually looks really sick. also love the drone and b roll footage good video as well.
Super nice park, really good setting. I thought the rubber was pretty friendly, instilled enough confidence to climb some of the harder stuff and put some decent effort in. My only real criticism is that I went on a Sunday mid day and there were a lot of younger kids that don't know climbing etiquette, nor did their parents, and there were no gym staff to help direct them to not climb problems that crossed into other problems, or run under you when you were climbing. Overall, really great facility, makes me jealous that I don't have one near me
Ok wait 1. You were in town?! 2. I totally hear you on the etiquette thing, I think that’s the sacrifice you make for a free facility with only signage to guide, but I also think that it’s such a cool opportunity to help be the change that we want to see here & gently educate folks about using the space together. Not saying it’s easy, just that we are all a part of helping to foster the climbing culture at these types of places. But it is hard & takes time & everyone has to be receptive (which isn’t always the case!)
@courtclimbs ya, I was in town. Twice actually. Once two weeks ago Friday, then again on Sunday. Planned to hit up a gym on the Friday, but we got in too late. Heard about the park while away (NRG and South Carolina) and decided to stop again on the way back! Oh, and agree about the teachable moment stuff, but in the situation I just practiced patience and let them do their thing. I was just a visitor and they were all having fun. I think if they ever did anything really dangerous or concerning I'd probably say something.
I was soooo stoked when I saw the new story on this park - I'm glad it's just as fun as it looks :D
Also! I freakin' love the walkie-talkie - lol best prop ever! Great video :D
@@SendEdition thanks! 💛

@@__AbAbe I felt similarly before I actually knew what it was like, which is a big reason I made this video, so glad that it got you stoked :)
