In this live podcast from the CWA, we have Dylan Barks, Jamey Sproull, and Brendan Scorpio joining to discuss the future of indoor climbing, including:
Are old school climbers stronger than modern climbers?
What has contributed most to the progression of hard climbing?
What will the ‘board generation’ mean for outdoor climbs?
The future of board technology and specificity
Will there be highball gyms?
The future of ultra-adjustable walls
How high can grades go?
What is the ideal board angle?
What will be the evolution of climbing comps?
Two things gyms are sleeping on right now
