- Climbers aren't generally rich. But they spend quite a lot of money on their equipment, beer and in some cases accommodation.
- So I can't understand some local landowners of estates near climbing walls, why they are refusing to create some extra revenue form their visits. At the moment they are, by rule either trying to get money of them the easiest (most ineffective) way - charge them for parking or are trying to get rid of these weird people. Here are a few of mine win-win ideas:
- Let them park for free, but sell them beer and put a free donation box for maintenance
there.
- Open a "hostel" (upgrade your barn a bit). Make it cheap, but get the revenue by selling hot showers...
- Put free benches and other relaxation facilities on site (similar to relaxation benches on Šmarna gora or at the coast). Make sure they have enough ads of climbing equipment printed on them. And that these shops pay for them, because it is in the end the best way to really get in touch with your future customers.
- Sell that piece of land to someone who will actually know how to use it and buy something peaceful elsewhere.
