      Hi!

      Thanks for your detailed comment. I have updated the post now and included your suggested information. Sadly, moon board in this gym doesn’t have LED lights. You need to have good memory and use it while climbing 🙂 Also, is this hall full of everything open for public or only for people who attend courses? 🙂
