 Topic - Calling all Cambridge Climbers
|
|---|

We’re interested in setting up a climbing wall in Cambridge and have started the process by checking out various venues talking to the council and starting to get a handle on various costs involved.
We do have a few ideas about how this might work and be financed but I’m not going to bore fellow forum users with this. (If you want to know just ask) The main point is the thing has to be commercially viable.
Basically for something like this to work it’s got to have real climbers at the heart of the project. Otherwise you’re just going to end up having the thing run by some muppet in a tracksuit who thinks route setting involves dynoing from one jug to another a la Sylvester in Cliffhanger.
We’re having a meeting on the 17th of October, 8.00 in the Friends Meeting House on Jesus Lane if you are interested and you want to get involved. In the mean time a few questions for forum users;
• Is there a market?
• Are you a Cambridge based Climber who doesn’t use Kelsey Kerridge because its so retro (and not in a cool ironic way)
• Is this something a group of locals can pull off or do we need the financial muscle of big business to actually make a project of this size happen?
