Expand I find it hard to advance. I find myself climbing the same route over and over again to bring my stats up.

Expand It's too hard. My guy can't walk a 5.4. There are no big rests on the entire route where I can recover. When you hold the X-Key the power meter still goes away. It is constantly getting lower and there's no where to 'rest'. Perhaps term "rest" here is misleading? I would think that the left bar would increase. It's too hard. My guy can't walk a 5.4.

Expand Am I missing something? You start out with $275, which means you can buy the cheapest rope and either a guidebook or a quickdraw.

Expand So when I rack up for the trad line, I can only put one "type" of pro on my rack (i.e. only small stoppers or only large cams.) I've splatted a considerable number of times trying to get to the top with just small stoppers... Shouldn't you be able to bring different types of pro?So when I rack up for the trad line, I can only put one "type" of pro on my rack (i.e. only small stoppers or only large cams.)
