Congrats to new CT, NH and CA gyms that opened or will soon. Salute to one in OH that’s about to close. A discussion of French gym growth. A video about building costs. Tips on hiring consultants. Keynotes for the Summit in May. And check out the BBC podcast, it was fun talking with Hannah and I got to express a few thoughts about the growth of climbing.
