John, You hit the nail on the head one your descriptions for both gyms. I have been a part of the “scene” since ’95. There are alot more climbers new to the sport who are climbing at the BRC and it is a nice change for the old guard elite.. There are friendlier and excited about climbing like we all used to be before we became “cool”

I was a member of the bizarre Boulder gym scene for a couple months. At the BRC, the crowd was older and not overly friendly and on cold weeknights, I would have to stand in line for each route. The Spot is younger and more laid back although cliquey. After seeing how crowded the BRC can get, it’s believable another gym could succeed.It was interesting to see the difference between the Colorado and Wisconsin gym community. Essentially, the midwest is way more friendly. From my experience, small talk is not as easy to come by there.

had the same problem in my home town a few years back. there were 2 commercial gyms when i moved there and 0 within the span of a year. my advice would be to start a co-op (or just find some motivated friends) and build your own bouldering wall. you can tailor problems for your projects, drink beer while making fun of your friends, and don’t have to worry about (for instance) someone else’s gambling problem ridding you of your single source for mid-week pump.

Wow. If only we had the “problem” of abundant gyms and climbing out here on the peninsula in Washington… We’re struggling to keep our one gym open… Anybody interested in helping out? Email me if so and I’ll put you in touch with the right folks.Sara.
