Do you work in a climbing gym? Do you want to help inform the decisions of routesetting departments nationwide?
Vortex Routesetting has relaunched our Routesetting Industry Data Survey, and we are now in the final stretch before presenting our findings. We need your help!
Our survey looks at the broader picture of workload and team structure about the size and member traffic of gyms, as well as safety practices. We ask about pay and benefits, but also wellness programs and professional development policies. We want to understand how routesetting programs are structured within the greater context of each gym. The needs of different gyms vary greatly, and without context, individual data points lose their meaning.
After three years of research and interviews, we presented our initial findings at the Climbing Wall Association Summit in 2022 (still available to view on our website at www.vortexroutesettingcom). Now we are preparing to present our updated findings at the CWA Summit on April 17.
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, is fully anonymized, and is easy to access from both mobile devices and PCs. Anyone can fill it out, and the resulting data benefits everyone. Routesetters can better understand what job opportunities are available, and owners and managers can stay competitive and build programs that meet the needs of their community.
As the industry continues to grow, help us stay abreast of changing routesetting programming trends and standards. Contribute to the Routesetting Industry Data Survey and stay tuned!
