Wave & Arena update

We’ve got an exciting update for two of our walls: the Wave and the Arena. From next week, the Wave will become our new comp wall, while the Arena joins the Monday colour circuit. That means you’ll also find green and red boulders in the Arena.

Setting schedule

We’ll reset one colour every Monday in the Arena together with the Main area and Atlantis. We’ll kick things off this Monday 6/7 with the green circuit.

The Wave will be divided into two sections: slab and overhang. We’re going to reset one section every other Wednesday. Starting Wednesday (8/7) with the slab.

Nothing changes about the walls themselves, we’re just using them differently.

Enjoy and spread the word!
