Comment on movie - Msg Jonathon KresnerWalking through the converted power mill building first looking at the bouldering and short beginner slabs, then having a look at the nice and high lead climbing and top rope section. Finally the tour ends upstairs after checking out the fitness section and the awesome circuit board.
