Where is it and why?
hangarbrno.cz - playground of Adam Ondra, 2 halls, boulder setting every week, every month 30 new boulder set into Challenge, good coffee, nice toalets, vibing through whole day, …
That looks nice! Already thinking about visiting. Is ondra training there, is it a comp style gym?
I guess it’s comp style. I saw Adam there, once in 6 months. But I visit the gym 3 times a month.
Unpopular opinion: it depends.
I know many people that are absolutely obsessed with Moonboards and train pretty much exclusively on one.
Many people like gyms with set routes.
I like spray walls. I find Moonboard too repetitive and limited. Many set problems are of the “new style” type which has little to do with bouldering outside. I prefer to set my own problems and so a big, nice sprayway is my favorite.
And I do mostly specific training so a pullup bar and campus board is what I use the most anyway.
I think this is not really an unpopular opinion, I like to visit gyms with widely different styles. At the moment one that is focused on training for outdoor sport climbing and therefore more board-climbing style. The other one I frequently visit is more comp style.
Board climbing (including Spraywall) is a very good training for both and “setting” your own routes is good for creativity. Climbimg routes set by others is good for leaving your comfort zone and beta reading.
Yeah, I guess not that unpopular :) But it would be hard for me to say which one is the best. Depends what I’m focusing on at given time.
Fair :)
