Happy New Year
from ROCK'n & JAM'n
Ready or not... welcome to the New Year! It seems like just yesterday I was freaking out about the new millenium and worrying that all our systems would crash...we only had a few minor complications.

I'm not one for resolutions, but at this time of year I like to review  our business principles....

Our goal is to provide an innovative, high-quality facility that meets the needs of the area's indoor rock climbers.

Our commitment is to continuously improve our facility and services in order to keep pace with our customers' expectations well into the future.

Our pledge is that our actions will be characterized by fairness and integrity.

Our everyday objectives are to provide the best indoor climbing gym(s) in the world and to strive to give each customer more than he expects.

Here's to a Happy New Year!

What's up with our ropes?
ROCK'n & JAM'n takes pride in our safety procedures. Ever wonder what criteria we use to inspect our ropes? How do we decide when it's time to retire or just trim a rope?

Beautiful New Cubbies at RJ1!
With great anticipation, RJ received a great new facelift. There are only so many coats of paint that can "refresh" 14 year old cubbies. Thanks to the hard work of two talented and artistic members, we've replaced our worn out cubbies with some truly beautiful and robust benches.

Many props to Jerry and Greg!!!
