Hey, can you give me the numbers for Cincinnati, too?

Heck, yeah! Open the large gym in December and shut it down in March of every year.

Come to Bowling Green. 4th largest city in KY, only one gym in town aside from campus, large student community. Nearest climbing is 1.5 hrs to Nashville's gym or hour to not so good outdoor climbing.

What about Cincinnati(metro) area gym. Getting up/out to the burb gyms is a pain in the ass for us city folk.

Do it!!! Lexington needs a route gym...though I kind of feel like an idiot saying that with the Red so close...

I know several Lexington folk that frequently travel to neighboring cities' gyms to climb routes so a route gym is definitely in demand.

It seems unlikely that Cincinnati could support a third gym. UC has a wall for students, and I'm not sure if there's a group of climbers too far from CT/RQ that would go to another gym instead.

I would.

If I don't leave at least 30 minutes before rush hour it takes me 45 - 1hr to get to CT or RQ. It doesn't really work well for a regular (3 day a week) routine.

However, I do agree that there isn't enough support for 3 gyms.

I would too, expect I live on the east side, and you live on the west side, so we'd need two gyms. Then again, CT is 15 minutes away for me, but what I REALLY want is a gym in the firehouse building in Hyde Park Square. Then it's a minute away for me. OPEN IT NOW, I'm sure you'd make a fortune :roll:

I wouldn't. I'm 40 minutes from Rockquest, but I can't imagine better training anywhere else...
