WELL. As you guessed, or have seen, the Rock Column is STILL DOWN. They have completed all of their testing and at this point are discontinuing the use of the RedPointe Auto-Belay System. This is the number one Auto-Belay system in the world.... There are tens of thousands of Rock Climbing walls that are now shutdown globally. We are in constant communication with our wall provider who is looking to have a replacement available during the first quarter of 2010. At this time it is against the law to run this rock column. We WILL STILL PROVIDE OUR ROTATING ROCK WALL AS A REPLACEMENT FOR OUR TIME PLAY PACKAGES AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
