This is a great medium sized climbing wall, only just surpassed by Gecko at Sottens, but because of that it can be less crowded on weekday evenings. On average it is cheaper, and not so much run for profit as some other walls. The staff are friendly and usually have time to help. However, there is little control of users, and you may see some dangerous practices at this wall.
