Our inventory is in good shape and we're not in a situation where we're carrying more goods than we planned for. But that said, we still have plenty of stuff going into the holidays and we will have to sell it.

Climbing is a great sport for all kids. Not only does it help for physical fitness, it also develops a high level of self-confidence. Once kids begin climbing they develop a strong positive attitude, and a willingness to take on challenges both physical and mental that might have scared them away before they learned to climb. Parents tell us their kids often do better in school after they go climbing.
