Rockhouse under new management

Post by The Hangout » Sun Jul 18, 2004 11:47 pm

I just wanted to let everyone know that as of Friday, July 16th I am the new owner of the climbing gym in Richmond (The Rockhouse). The name will be changing to The Hangout and a huge focus put back into climbing.

I've got a tonne of plans for the place including adding new climbing and bouldering walls, new holds, new equipment and a much better vibe. Come down and check us out if you're in the Richmond area - our website will also be up in 3-4 weeks.

It sure is Pete - I'll be setting up a pro shop and selling fORA at the gym too once I get my renos done. Danny, I'll probably give you a call in the next week or so about some of the construction stuff.

Well ... I want to get a bunch of the renos done before I do anything official. I'll be having a comp in late Oct. or early Nov. as part of the "grand opening" - I might do something smaller before that though.

I went to check out the first bit of renos last night. I like the new bouldering wall. Its got some cool angles. Can't wait for the rest to be completed.

Great routesetting, guys.

Climbed at the Hangout a couple weeks ago-- though the space isn't as tall as at some lower mainland gyms, the new routesetting packs technical fun into the full length of the routes-- nearly every move an interesting one. Great to see a new option for those of us on the south side of town! :)
