We’re off to a busy start in 2008, building outstanding new commercial climbing gym and recreational projects early this year throughout the US, and continuing to develop our production facilities with new technologies. We’ve continued to update our Projects and Galleries web pages with comprehensive information about, and links to, climbing walls we’ve constructed.
Routesetting and Climbing Wall Operations
Check out our new Routesetting and Climbing Wall Operations web pages for information on our professional offerings to assist new climbing facilities beyond construction alone. We not only build the best climbing wall products on the market, we help climbing wall businesses succeed. Our contract routesetting options, set by the highest level professionals in the industry, can help new climbing walls start out complete with the best and most creative climbing product, the routes themselves. Our trainings and follow-through consultation also strengthen our continued emphasis on seeing climbing wall facilities succeed beyond opening day.
Climbing Holds
For months now we’ve been hard at work developing a new line of exclusive Rockwerx Climbing Holds, manufactured at our home base in Barre, Massachusetts. They’ll be out on our new walls soon and keep your eyes peeled on the website for more information. It is our goal to provide our clients with a complete and affordable package of all the necessary products involved in climbing wall operations, and developing our own handhold line only improves our ability to provide everything needed for a successful operation. These new holds will make climbing on Rockwerx walls that much more fun!
Climbing Wall Association Symposium Presentation
We work closely with the wall industry association, the CWA, and are excited to be involved with the 2nd annual CWA Climbing Wall Managers’ Symposium May 1st – 4th as presenters. Our founder and CEO, Cort Gariepy, will be presenting a pre-symposium full day business development workshop on the topic of Climbing Gym Start-Up Planning. If you’re considering starting a climbing gym, contact us, and take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn more about the process at this annual gathering of climbing wall industry professionals.
