They also have a Ninja Warrior training area with various obstacles, if that's your thing.
LOL holy shit I was going to ask why it is called the snake and then I saw the fangs and the eyes. That is too fucking funny.
I think I was leaning towards HH anyway since its a bit closer to where I'm staying.

That's good to know. I was there with my sons for USAC regionals in June, so I didn't actually get to climb there. (And the setting for the comp seemed solid, but they likely had numerous outside setters.)
Thanks for the feedback. I ended up at HH. The setting wasn't stellar but I'm not sure I'm qualified enough to call it "god awful".
I am a V4-V6 climber and there was enough stuff to keep me busy. I did not see very many routes in the upper V8-V10 range. So, if you climb that hard then I could see why you would say the setting is lacking.
HH seemed more geared towards family fun. The snake was kinda cool. I tried the V5 on it but didn't get real far.
They said if you jumped off the top you got a lifetime ban. I was honestly considering it just for the fuck of it.
