Thanks again to the vast majority of our members who by continuing their memberships are providing Crag X with the resources needed to continue to pay our full time staff and keep essential bills paid while we anticipate reopening.
We are starting to look at how we do things at Crag X to open up in a way that minimizes risk.
Luckily, climbers are already skilled at evaluating risk, informing themselves on how to mitigate that risk, and making good choices on how to practice their sport knowing that risk can only be minimized and never eliminated. Covid-19 risk is a new and serious factor, but like all risk it can be approached in the same way.
Climbing Escalade Canada, the Climbing Wall Association and a ad-hoc group of BC gyms have all met by online to discuss methods for restarting climbing at climbing gyms. Kenneth is a member of all these organizations and is participating in those discussions.
More importantly, Kenneth, Drew, Silva, Harrison and Emily have been having conversations about what things are going to look like at Crag X. Being on the island, we are operating in a Covid environment unlike the experience of Vancouver gyms or Toronto gyms.
Keep your eyes out for more from us as we start to talk about aspects of our plans as we gear up for the Happy Day.
Fingers crossed.
