About Proxy Climbing
Reviews suggest that Proxy Climbing features a 'great selection' of 'nice' and 'high quality holds', with some reporting 'helpful crew' and 'great customer service' with 'quick response'. However, a significant concern is raised regarding the owner's alleged behavior, described as 'lacks all empathy' and treating staff 'horribly'. The services themselves are labeled 'mediocre at best, way over priced, inconsistent and slow'. There is also an accusation that other positive reviews might be fabricated.

What parents say
"I can say as a former employee and then client of the hold manufacturing that if you value your sanity you need to avoid this place. The owner is an actual psychopath and not in a fun way, in a scary, lacks all empathy and human emotion kind of way. Treats everyone he works with horribly. The services they offer are mediocre at best, way over priced, inconsistent and slow. I can also say the three other positive reviews on here were written by former employees at the demand of the owner. Go support any other hold manufacturing company"
