How are people handling when CDC guidelines are more stringent than state guidelines?

00:42:02Hailey Hester- Georgia State University

guidelines are guidelines, not law. Something to think of when making those decisions...

00:42:48Hailey Hester- Georgia State University

GSU is operating off the board of regents interpretations/ direction if there are conflicts

00:43:19Joey Parent (Virginia Commonwealth Univ.)

Chris- We are often looking to the CDC to inform our decisions. In general our decisions to open and how that looks is more conservative than our local and state regulations.

00:50:53Madison Kinder - Eastern Washinton Univ

In terms of climbing, has anyone considered the proximity of the climbing rope to a person’s breathing (while top roping) and how that may pose an issue of disease transmission? If you have considered this, have you come up with any strategies to mitigate this?

00:51:33Davy Shaw Valdosta State Unversity

we are look in to sleeves for ropes

00:52:33Madison Kinder - Eastern Washinton Univ

Davy, is anyone making these already or looking into creating your own? I have considered edge protectors, but would probably depend on the material and height of the protector on the rope.

00:52:45Hailey Hester- Georgia State University

I am alternating routes following how other gyms in Georgia are operating that have opened. We most likely will require climbers in masks. By alternating ropes/routes each day we are giving the ropes a 3 day rest for the virus to die.

00:55:52Hailey Hester- Georgia State University

to make that work ( I have a 5 rope gym) I am buying another spool to make duplicate ropes, to rotate in to ensure a 3 day rest, but have at least 2 routes open daily.

00:57:12Davy Shaw Valdosta State Unversity

we are looking to make them or even just use something disposable like press-n-seel. We also only have 5 ropes, so we are looking at a rotation as well.

Has anyone thought about removing ropes for the time being? Allow bouldering only.

01:28:37Hailey Hester- Georgia State University

No we are going to open our wall but shut down our bouldering cave because of the cleaning and monitoring of that space is much more difficult and could only have 2 people in there at a time anyways.... We also have enough harnesses from the challenge course/wall/and trips to rotate those along with our ropes with a 3 day quarantine rest period

01:30:07Hailey Hester- Georgia State University

we a have a retrofitted under a stairwell as a bouldering cave

01:33:01Hailey Hester- Georgia State University

Yes, we're looking into the feasibility consulting packages if you want to plan your own adventure

Thanks presenters! Thanks Josh, for sharing those final comments.
