Answer:
When's the prime time to conquer some routes without feeling like you're in a climbing mosh pit at Arkose Nation??
If you're looking for a chill climbing session, weekday mornings or early afternoons are usually your best bet. The evenings, especially after work, and weekends tend to be buzzing with more climbers! So, for maximum elbow room, aim for off-peak hours!
