COVID-19
Hi Crag X people!
Climbers are always managing risk and taking steps to mitigate that risk. Corona virus is another risk for us to carefully consider and manage.
Some things you can do to manage virus risk:
Wash your hands more frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Cover your coughs and sneezes! If you used a tissue, throw it away immediately, if not wash your hands.
Greet your friends with something other than hugs or handshakes.
If you feel sick, stay home!
As you know, our day to day job is watching out for risk and encouraging climbers in best practices to manage that risk.
What we are doing:
Extra cleaning during the day.
Wiping down non-climbing surfaces with cleaning spray.
Asking staff and climbers to stay home if they are experiencing symptoms of Corona Virus.
Putting up extra signage to encourage best practices during this outbreak.
A note on membership holds.
We are a membership and drop in based small company. While we won’t be making any changes to our rules about freezes, we would ask you to consider our staff when making a decision to freeze a membership. We will continue to support our staff economically to the degree possible should there be a downturn in business. If you have been asked to work from home (or are self quarantined) and are fortunate enough to hold employment where you keep your wages, consider keeping your membership active even in you are not going to keep your regular climbing schedule. We appreciate your consideration also in the event that we are ordered to shut our doors by Public Health.
If you have lost your wages because of COVID-19 then let us know and we will freeze you without charge or make other arrangements.
Be kind to each other and do the things we need to do to get through this as a community, city and country.
Thanks,
Kenneth and Nikolai and the rest of the Crag X crew.
