Just a few thoughts
Slow news week. But so much happening behind the scenes here at CBJ. Our small team works hard to empower and inspire you, the professionals and entrepreneurs of the climbing industry. We have so many meaty projects that will be dropping in the coming weeks and months, it’s sometimes dizzying watching them all approach launch. Watch for the Grip List Awards any day, a compensation survey real soon, our new website before too much longer, an incredible new market analysis resource, an article on routesetting trends, and our annual Gyms & Trends that will publish in early 2025. All for you. We hope you enjoy the ride.
