I was there pretty much the entire time the wall was open (which
wasn't much during the cruise). The belayers were hideously trained and
kept taking their brake hands off the rope. Luckily they were using grigris.
They only ever put two ropes on a wall which could have easily supported
eight.
Climbing all holds (which is what every single participant did) was about
5.1 on both routes. The "easy" route was also 5.1. The "medium" route
was maybe 5.4. The "hard" route was 5.8 with a single 5.10a move on the port
side and a single 5.10c move on the starboard side. I onsighted the
port side and started working on a "no plastic" route on that rope (which
I never sent).
I struggled with the 10c move on the starboard side because the hold
was so greasy. Finally found some chalk in one of their bins which made
it possible to hold the greasy pinch, but I didn't get a chance to send
the move.
Sorry for writing so much about climbing. I realize that the point of
a cruise is to eat tons of food. My bad.
