Death of a treasured rock gym - New Jersey Rock Gym closes its doors for the last time.

Yeah, so, wow. I did many interviews of the people who were associated with this gym but it was only the tip of the iceberg. There are tons more stories that were not recorded. New Jersey Rock Gym, managed by Doug for 22 years, has touched the lives of everyone who entered its doors. I wish I could have shared all of the words that everyone said in these videos but I tried to keep this video "short". The community grieves the loss of this welcoming and supportive environment that literally shaped people's lives.
Please DM my instagram @rockclimbingrandma with the spelling of your name so I can add it to the description of this video. Also, DM me to be added as one of the artists or creators of any of the gym's features.
Special thanks to Doug and everyone who agreed to be interviewed.
Songs were procured from Audiio.com:

I took my granddaughter for her first experience at a rock gym. It was one of my first videos. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/JI5alS-6UTU/v-deo.html

@rockclimbingrandma, ah crap! I was hoping to see NJRG since I’m in the area on 4/14!

Great video. Thanks for making it! So many great memories there. I'm really bummed I couldn't make it for the last day. That place will definitely be missed by so many. Irreplaceable

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

I am! I have been there and met the new owners. I was pleased to find out that they have kept Doug as the manager. The gym is still has a similar vibe. Very exciting! Thanks for stopping by!
