Not Quite Ready for Visitors!

Just a quick note to remind everyone that for the time being, the gym is still an active construction site, full of busy workers and hazards. We wear hard hats and safety shoes at all times while in the space, and we have a few extra hard hats for the occasional visitor who has a reason to come by.

In addition, things are getting busy. The Eldorado crew is pushing hard to make sure the climbing terrain is done on time (and they are on track). The general contractor has a variety of trades working on the electrical, plumbing, sprinklers, drywall and other aspects of the facility. And the landlord has a crew completing the replacement of the clerestory windows. It's a hectic place! The True North Climbing staff are also fully occupied now, taking inventory of all the shipments that are arriving (holds, gri-gris, harnesses, rope, etc.), and interviewing candidates for the part-time positions that are currently open. Pretty soon we'll also have some construction work of our own, putting together the training area and the hold room.

So for reasons of safety and keeping our work on track, we are not really able to handle visitors
without advanced planning. Accordingly we must ask that people not drop by unannounced. We know that some of you are nearly as excited as we are about the new gym, and we are eager to share what we are up to. But please wait another few weeks until the construction wraps up, when we will be in a state where it's safe to show you around, and will have the bandwidth to do so. Thanks for your understanding & patience!
