Not sure what your saying bluey re spinning holds being dangerous - leading or TR. I always thought that the rope was meant to keep your of the deck. I have seen it inferred before on various forum discussions, that falling off without warning is dangerous. I find this opinion a little disturbing and goes against the whole point of having a roope and belayer. I dont as a rule give my belayer any warning as to when I am going to fall - if I trust my belayer I just climb untill I fall off and expect them to catch me. In the gym, or anywhere on bolts, if you arent falling off a bit then your not pushing yourself and you wont get any better. Just a thought, dont take it the wrong way.

Re the spinners - maybe they are just trying to simulate Werribee Gorge or even the Sun Deck, where a hand hold can bust off at anytime. I might give the place a miss until I see positive reviews here.
