so if the gyms jacked up their entry price to pay for professional routesetters you'd be cool with that?

the reality is that when you rock up on a tuesday night to climb with friends and socialise, you're oblivious to the hours spent during the day by staff setting routes. do you realise how much time and effort goes into setting even just a single route?

granted, most of the staff are not trained routesetters, but you don't go to your local bakery and ask why the croissant you just bought for 80c tastes nothing like the one you had in France do you?
