They may look cool but they ain't a joy to use. These are installed on the wall at my local Virgin gym, and apart from the crappy route setting, are probably the reason I'm the only one who ever seems to use the wall.

Apart from the constant feeling of being hauled, I still find it scary every time to trust the mech, as you fall about a meter before it fully engages. Not something that inspires confidence, I'd much prefer a belayer.

Good looking wall though. I like vertical. As for the chalk dust, if you could afford the wall you could afford cleaners, or some industrial suction fans.
