They might look good on your Instagram feed, bouncing around wearing a cap with one of your gormless mates shouting 'Yeah dude!' in the background.

However, they are not proper climbing and of no benefit for those of us who've turned up to train and get better at climbing. I'm not entering ninja-warrior.

Sort it out.

Gosh, thanks for letting us all know what 'proper climbing' is. I'm not sure how we'd have managed otherwise.

Well, by turning up to a bouldering wall he's already failed.

I think I only gave one example of what climbing isn't....

in addition, setters & managers please note, a big sideways dyno move means something like 16 square metres of wall lost to a single (poor) problem, given the required landing area.

And they also often consist of about 7 awkward volumes - many of which are at the bottom of a slab. if there is a proper problem aswell, when you slip off you have to avoid the unneccesary ankle snapping wooden boxes of doom.
