		<description><![CDATA[Hello Mr. Routesetter,
Is it common for route setters to start off as volunteers? If so, how long before one is hired with compensation?

agree Mustang Man, that putting your personal effort into creating an original product for someone else to sell puts a bee in my bonnet too.  But historically, climbing gyms have relied on volunteer setters to keep their walls climbable.  I'm sure this practice came from the good ol' days of home woodies and buddies donating their time so they would have a place to climb.  This mentality has carried over to the commercial and even recreational climbing gyms across the country.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At one point or another weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve all had a climber come up to us while weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re setting and complain that we just took down the project they were sure to send that very day. Ã¢â‚¬Å“Well you shouldÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve sent yesterdayÃ¢â‚¬Â, I usually say or Ã¢â‚¬Å“ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s just plastic, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll have some mega classics up in a momentÃ¢â‚¬Â. But really, is this fair?]]></description>
