Just a few thoughts
At CBJ we love nothing more than seeing new climbing gyms reach their opening day – a few of those below. Right after that, nothing’s better than routesetting perspectives and resources – some of that below too. Related to both, our team is wrapping up our Gyms & Trends and Routesetting Trends reports for 2024, so stay tuned!
