>>2281317How do you get anything of a practice run out of these if trying to work out the route? They just lower you if you fall. Kids get discouraged by them if it's a pay to play game for the carnival walls in a pro gym.
For kids in summer camps or the vertical walls at the fair where you get a prize if you can make it IMO. They have a limited use and are great for the parents to supervise their kids in an open setting, but they have no use being on routes with ratings that are used to strengthen and test your skill level to push further and practice moves for a redpoint.
Gyms are jewish as F now and wont employ anyone as belayers...they regularly open up using a cheap marketing scheme that uses the majority of open space to have people walking around and using the "nautilus" machines. Everyone knows that these machines work a specific group of muscles and that the return is the strength they generate in areas of the body, but climbing is a full body routine and tests your mental ability to endure the challenge of getting off the ground on your own power.
They regularly just comp a membership for volunteer staff....while netting millions for their "humble" investments into the "community".....fuck that word and it's sheep that use it.
Their walls are so cheaply made that they seem like echo chambers with so many kicking and bumping the walls constantly while they have lots of extra noise around from people "encouraging" eachother. Does not help when someone claps and says "Good Job".....its a deterrent to the focus needed to progress through the sport while training.
They expect to make money on kids and the members can't progress through the ratings to a higher degree because they are screwing around and sandbagging eachother while tipping their hops infested yeast brewhahas sieving your cash money.
Don't buy into their schemes that idiot gym owners and staff push with a neophyte mentality backing them like weaklings...train hard and win the prize.
