This is AMAZING! Why can't we get something like this built in LA??
Boulder can "morph" to a new shape in a few hours!

Walson and Mark are two of the brightest, most forward thinking folks in the gym/bouldering segment of our industry- this is well worth watching. I'm stunned at what they've thought up- looks pretty damn amazing and a solution to the biggest problem in a gym- how to build walls that will last for decades.

No offense, but to me your thread title & OP just smelled a bit like an ad. My apologies if I got it wrong.

I was tired as hell when I watched it, so I probably missed something, but didn't really seem to get into how you can change the wall as easy changing routes. The time lapse shows them putting it up pretty quickly, but I'd love to see another video that shows them changing it. I could see how the beams appeared to be adjustable in length, but wouldn't it necessitate a lot of new panels?

they didnt really cover how it would change, but knowing Walson, they've got something figured out. I'm going to have to give him a shout and get more info on it...seems super cool.
