Description Suggest change

This is a city, and the climbs within it hardly resemble the stone that we may crave. In a haystack of artifice here we find ourselves holding onto a few rusty needles, buildering routes, with their crumbling features and uninspiring faces.
There is fun to be had here in an emulative pursuit of rock climbing, and here is a meager documentation of some's findings.

CHOSS IS REAL IN THE CITY TOO.
Avoid facades, light fixtures, and otherwise flimsy features that may break, thereby blowing up the spot.

Be nice to everyone, in all likelihood we have no proper right to climb in any of the areas herein described.

Getting There Suggest change
