EWolfe Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Glad to hear business is good! I'll swing by and check it out on my way south! "can I use your bathroom?" Quote
Lambone Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 well, "good" being a relative term... we have members now, and a good base of regulars. last night there were about 30 climbers here at one point. a far cry from Vertical World where we'd have as many as 300 in the gym over a night. It's been over 2 years since I've gotten a paycheck (thank god for my loving and patient wife). I'm guessing another year will pass befor we have a profitable year, and probly another 10-15 years before we recieve any return on our investment. I think of the gym as more of a community service, just trying to hang in there and keep the lights on. Southern Oregon is slowly developing some sort of climbing community...%95 noobs. If you're looking for a get rich quick scheme, cross Climbing Gym off the list. howver I am as strong as ever and have fun every day. roll into work at noon and pretty much play and chat with climbers. it's my dream job, my favorite part is coaching a climbing team of 11 kids and watching their climbing skills develop....one I'm proud to say is one of the best in the state for his age group.
