In reply to Paul at work: Hi, I'm selling the wall as my wife is just about to start Uni to retrain as a midwife. We've got 3 kids it would be difficult to juggle work, guiding and all the epic adventures we get up to in this area. I also spend more time paragliding then I do climbing (I'm waiting to have both my shoulders operated on) and a climber would get a lot more out of the business.
The business ticks along quite happily, it's been up and running since 1999 (climbing wall since 2001) and I have just extended the lease on the building for another 6 years, with the option for another 6. I have all the figures available to anyone interested. For business protection I just ask that you complete a confidentiality agreement and send it back to me.
I'm not quite sure why I didn't send the info to Paul, but I was in the european alps for 3 months around that time. I can send it to you now if you still want to move out here.
The NZ government is tightening up entry requirements and a climber would have a very good chance of getting in to NZ by buying a climbing related business.
Also, for your piece of my mind, I will still be living in Nelson and I have no intention of leaving.
I hope this answers some of your questions,
Cheers,
Dean
