The vertical wall bears the brunt of beginners jumping on in sneakers and having a crack - which I think is great, and replacing the feet on that wall would help first-timers have a much more enjoyable experience. The white feet on the vertical wall in particular are completely smooth. I think the 30 degree wall is in ok condition, but the problems have been there a long time.

Having said that, some maintenance has already been done on the 30 degree wall. There's a new traverse route that's gone up (the blue and white swirlies, which is significantly harder than the grade implies!), a few loose holds tightened, a few of the black holds have been re-oriented (which make one move quite a bit harder).

I'm more than happy to donate some time and even some dollars for new holds, given that I try to train there 3 or 4 times a week.
