Solid breakdown of the tradeoffs between density and experience quality. The insight about simplified routes being easier to forrun at scale is somthing that applies way beyond climbing - seen similar constraints in software architecture where you need high throughput but limited complexity budget. The Helldivers quote captures it perfectly. Leaning into constraints as differentiation rather than fighting them feels like actualy strategy instead of cope.
“New old” holds if you will! The tron discs and loaf pinches from teknik and egrips respectively are pretty classic shapes. We found the grey ones unused in the back of the setter’s closet so we decided to break them out.

gotta work with what you got!
I would argue that the so-called outdated purple holds are the *most* fun to climb on
some classics might find their way into the order this year
Dunno whether the grey holds on the 9 and 6 on 3D are "old" or not (I think they are?) but I enjoyed seeing them!

Those grey ones took me back 20 years, got A2 pulley injury by just looking at them.
keep up the good work, loved the dense and spray wall like style.
