"I've been climbing for 8 years. Started outside; just to keep yourself fresh, I started coming here. I enjoy this place, I came here by myself and climb here 3 days a week.

I think it's a friendly place. I've met a lot people here, even if my partner doesn't come, I can still climb with other people here, it's good.
 
It tests you, you get a little better, gives you something to work on. I've been coming for almost 5 years. It's a release, I get out of work and I come here."
