Way back around 2020, my boyfriend and I started this short-lived thing where we would make short holds to send to each other and watch each other beat. Of all the holds I created for this, this one is by far the one I'm the most proud of, between some of its puzzle design and its general world shape and progression. I've always been a fan of games where you loop back around to previous segments with new knowledge or gear, and working that into a hold was a lot of fun. This is a majorly touched-up version of the original hold, which featured a number of softlocks and poorer puzzle design, but for the most part the initial hold remains intact. Hope you enjoy!

This is a delight.

In the modern era of punishingly hard holds full of subtle tricks and pinpoint accuracy, a throwback like this is a breath of fresh air. It's old school in all the best ways: none of the tedium, none of the filler rooms, and it gets its cleverness from its thoughtful layout. Enjoyed it thoroughly; we could use more like this.
