First Week With the Staff!

This week started the new year with a punch as our first 2 full time staff members started working at True North Climbing. Dustin, Clint and I spent all day Monday brainstorming about all the things we need to get done before opening day. By the end of the day my dining room wall was covered with big sheets of paper filled with writing. Then we started reviewing each topic (Equipment, Retail Sales, Policies and Procedures, Pricing and Marketing so far, with several others left to cover), making decisions, assigning homework tasks, and gradually working our way through the long list of stuff we need to figure out. It was a great start. I think we're working really well together, and these guys have already started to make important contributions.

While we were thinking hard, the Eldorado crew continued to make good progress. By the end of the week, the wood was starting to go up on the main bouldering wall.
