Doing a project on rock climbing for my postgrad. Created a new design but looking for your feedback! (self.Blind)

First it would probably be worth noting that you're talking about indoor climbing and not rock climbing:) (Sighted climber here.) I think this could work out for some routes, but it *could* be a little bit more challenging on routes where not all the holds are in one line. Quite often there is not really just one clear line of holds like e.g. in this image: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LBi22AKvsK0/maxresdefault.jpg (I hope it is not rude to post one here:) What would you do on routes like those?

Right, I corrected it in the post. Generally the strips are meant for the bigger, multicoloured indoor walls. Your picture, which shows a somewhat sparse hold layout may make climbing more difficult, but it does have an optimal route up, no? So the strips would indicate that route.

As they are bendable and modular, different lengths and curves can be laid out to touch along.
