    I agree, the lines for climbing without a rope look pretty low! I’m pretty short and that doesn’t look like much climbing for me!

    But hes taller then the orange line :S so as soon as he steps on the lowest bit, his heads probably above the line.

    @asethapart thats only on the top rop parts i go they you can go really high on the boulders in the middle and sides watch the other vids its a good gym

    ho about you put most of these tips in one video so you dont have to go to each 1 minute video… just an idea

  • By Vaughnlesterinoz, January 23, 2011 @ 6:58 pm

    I think those Orange lines are a tad low but meh…I prefer the harder bouldering walls anyway…

    i cant see shit the hell

    great video, check my channel for the secret to massive forearm and finger strength

    the top priority in climbing should be safety, not trying to be the biggest badass.

  • By NullusxVotum, January 23, 2011 @ 9:02 pm

    pretty high for indoor, most of the time its like 40-50 foot max, really high is over 100 feet

  • By lironexex, January 23, 2011 @ 9:48 pm

    where is that place??

  • By leif81, January 23, 2011 @ 9:52 pm

    This is a gym…where the gym assumes any risk. If you want to boulder 30ft high outdoors, on your own insurance plan, have fun.

  • By NetherlandBunny, January 23, 2011 @ 10:34 pm

    the walls arnt that high :S
    but i guess if you fall you’ll still get hurt
    The indoor rock climbing place i go to is 70ft , is that normal height or is that really high?

  • By tbonewilson, January 23, 2011 @ 11:10 pm

    LOL @ those walls, I’ve done normal bouldering problems higher than those and they weren’t high ball!

  • By dshyguy, January 23, 2011 @ 11:22 pm

    wow thats lame…

    wheres that challenge?

  • By asethapart, January 23, 2011 @ 11:24 pm

    lol…that’s a really low orange line…like every other gym is second clip. hmmm

  • By xraphael93x, January 23, 2011 @ 11:30 pm

    wow that wall look s like crap they probably dont event change the holds

  • By toj1ro, January 23, 2011 @ 11:47 pm

    lol man, that gym is great:-p only been there once but damn!, thats almost as good as the gym here in lillehammer. so just fuck off!! or show me a bether gym:-p

  • By futureleader17, January 24, 2011 @ 12:11 am

    rofl
    today was my first day climbing.. i was going twice as high as that line easy, and falling from that height was like landing on a pillow

  • By ROBwithaB, January 24, 2011 @ 12:41 am

    Don’t mean to be mean, but….
    I think my own private home-made climbing wall is better than this one.

  • By irock1839, January 24, 2011 @ 1:11 am

    that looks like the worst gym i’ve ever seen

  • By Syst3m04, January 24, 2011 @ 1:35 am

    I’ve been to a gym that has a topout boulder taller than their walls. I’d quit climbing before I got a membership at that gym.

  • By Thorolf9, January 24, 2011 @ 1:47 am

    yeah because falling from 10 feet without a rope is not only mildly uncomfortable, you might twist an ankle :O we wouldn’t you to do that, would we?

  • By jimemarsden, January 24, 2011 @ 2:22 am

    that gym sucks so bad

  • By thetree21220, January 24, 2011 @ 3:11 am

    i love how the top rope spot is like 3 feet taller then the bouldering spot.

  • By SmurfHatred, January 24, 2011 @ 3:55 am

    That gym can suck my balls
