>I got no positive reaction from the [climbing] industry at all
This was my experience trying to create a climbing tech product in the last few years.
The market for climbing is built through reputation, tradition, & thus a visceral rejection of new ideas & methods. This is very interesting, since many climbers work in forward-thinking tech companies.
Companies often resist growth to stay small. There are dirty secrets and bad blood among many competitors.
