As a 35 year veteran of designing & building climbing walls, Jerad Wells of Maverick Climbing has seen the growth of the industry and all of the progress, regress, innovation and return to simplicity in commercial climbing walls over the years.
We have and are working together with a few clients and there is a reason why I recommend Maverick: they have really thought intentionally about the process of designing and building climbing walls. From a customer service perspective.
So I wanted to get Jerad's take on the various things new gym owners or even experienced gym owners and developers as well as investors might not know or be thinking about during the process of designing and building climbing walls.
In the conversation we cover some of the following:

The different types of climbing wall build materials and processes - advantages and disadvantages
What are the gotchas or the things most people don't think about?
