to trust your instincts. Landing a job with a toxic work culture can affect your

Institute of Stress. And multiple resources link the stress and anxiety of a
demanding job to difficulty sleeping, burnout, and depression. But it’s not all
doom and gloom. You can avoid those outcomes by taking the time to familiarize
yourself with the red flags that may pop up during your job search.” Read the

proud to announce the beginning of a five-year partnership that will make Trango
the sole provider of safety gear for all IFSC Lead competitions from 2024 to
2028. Kicking off with the IFSC World Cup in Wujiang, China, from 12 to 14
April, the 2024 season will see the US-based company provide state-of-the-art

including belay devices, harnesses, and ropes. “Trango has always been a major
supporter of climbing and a player in the international scene,” says Trango
President Chris Klinke. “We have supported competitions with gear, holds,
athletes, and sponsorship throughout our history. To support the IFSC on a
global scale with its safety gear needs is a tremendous opportunity to combine
our passion for climbing with our goal of supporting the community.” Marco
Scolaris, IFSC President, says, “We are very happy to welcome Trango into the
IFSC family. Obviously safety in our sport is an absolute priority, and in
Trango we have found a reliable partner with great experience. One of our aims
with technical sponsorship is to create a path of growth and study so that we
can improve the sport, and Trango have bought into this concept ensuring a
positive partnership.” Along with Wujiang, the IFSC World Cup Series 2024 will
include Lead competitions in Innsbruck, Austria; Chamonix, France; Briançon,

How to improve your career through networking strategies By CareerBuilder
“Networking strategies are plans and actions that help people meet others and
establish relationships within their industries. Networking relationships are
often mutually beneficial for all people involved. Even when one professional
has more experience, both individuals can let each other know about career
opportunities, exchange references and advice, and help each other learn new
skills. Networking can also help you develop relationships that last for your
career beyond just one job. According to CNBC, about 80% of jobs get filled with
help from networking and personal connections.” Read the full article here

standpoint. This webinar is intended for both gym managers and routesetting

CENTRAL ROCK GYM MAKES FIRST ACQUISITION

Central Rock Gym continues to expand its climbing gym footprint in the Eastern
U.S., this time by acquiring the four Stone Summit gyms in Georgia. (Pictured:
Stone Summit Atlanta; photo by Stone Summit) Stone Summit, a Georgia-based
climbing gym chain with four locations around Atlanta, was recently acquired by
Central Rock Gym (CRG). Previously owned by Daniel Luke, Daron Pair and Will
Pair, the first Stone Summit location—Stone Summit Atlanta—was opened by Daniel
and Daron in 2010. Since then, Stone Summit added a second full-service gym and
two bouldering gyms in the area prior to the acquisition. According to an FAQ
page on the business’s website, “all of Stone Summit staff will continue on with
CRG”—including general managers, head setters, setters and desk staff, CBJ has
been told—and an email to customers stated that Daniel’s “new role will be as
the Director of Operations, Georgia at CRG.” “When we began this sale process,
it was important to Daniel, Will and me to find a company that would be a good
cultural fit for our staff and customers,” Daron informed CBJ. “Central Rock Gym
aligned with everything we were looking for in an acquisition. Joe and Ed
[Hardy], along with their team, provided a seamless transition throughout the
entire process. CRG was a pleasure to work with and we are excited for our staff
and customers who are now a part of the CRG family.”

The acquisition is notably CRG’s first in the industry since the business opened
its first climbing gym—CRG Worcester—in 2009. All of CRG’s other gyms were
self-built projects, and CRG is the only climbing gym business in North America
to have opened more than 20+ gyms entirely through self-builds, with four more
expected to open in 2024 or 2025. In fact, CRG is the second largest climbing
gym chain stateside to have now expanded in part through an acquisition, a list
that includes Movement, Bouldering Project, Hangar 18, Rock Spot, VITAL and
others. “Central Rock Gym has been approached several times for acquisitions in
the past. Our general approach is to stay completely focused on our existing
communities or to find new markets,” said CRG co-owner Joe Hardy. “Stone Summit,
however, felt different from the start because there were so many similarities
in how they operate and how they value and grow their communities. After getting
to know their team from several visits, we felt we could work with Daron, Will
and Daniel for a smooth transition, and try to be the best stewards possible for
their staff and community.” Hardy said the CRG team is excited to make facility
improvements at the former Stone Summit locations in the coming months, such as
HVAC work in preparation for the summer. The management team also plans to
update the hold inventory at these facilities.

Originally developing climbing gyms in the Northeast, CRG completed two Florida
gyms last year (Tampa and Orlando), opened a third one just this week (Citrus
Park), and has two more gym projects underway in the state (including the
recently announced Fort Myers project). The acquisition of the four Stone Summit
gyms in Georgia expands CRG’s gym footprint in the Southern U.S. and brings the
total number of open or planned CRG gyms to 30 across six states. “We continue
to be focused on serving our existing communities and building new gyms versus
acquisitions,” Hardy reiterated, “but there is always the possibility that we
find equally common footing with another operator.” Stay tuned to CBJ for the
latest news on gym projects and acquisitions around the industry.

DO YOU HAVE A RETAIL STRATEGY?

Whether creating a new retail space or rejuvenating an existing space, having a
fresh product mix is a fundamental key to success for your retail shop. In this
webinar we’ll discuss how to:
 * Determine the best product mix for your business and the customers
 * Keep your selection from getting stale
 * Make the most of relationships with product reps
 * Handle long lead times for certain products
 * And more!

A key factor in your product mix is understanding that retail selection is a
process, something that should be checked on at least a few times a year, and
not a once-and-done item to check off your to-do list. After touching on some
key points in the presentation, we’ll open up the webinar for questions from the
audience. Hope to see you there! This session is a great fit for future gym
owners curious about including a retail space in their business operations, or
existing gym owners and managers looking for some ideas to help bring customer
attention to items in their retail shop. Ready to learn more? Join us Wednesday,
April 24th at 11:00am MDT for “Curating your Product Mix – A Continual Process”.
