Auto-belay will change the scene, and especially for the kids

Klätterdomen in Göteborg started with auto-belays some five years ago already and now they have seven of them. The biggest change is that they can let many more beginners try out climbing and organise many more kids birthday parties. You just have to clip the kid in next to yourself and then you can train next to your kid as long as you want. Making it easier to introduce climbing to children in early age will in a couple of years mean there will be many more kids coming to the crags looking for super easy routes. In Kalymnos, they are preparing for a kids invasion by bolting routes down to 2a.
