But they're in short supply and are actually quite necessary, 
whereas recreational climbing centres aren't and aren't.  So trying 
to compare EICA to a good plumber really doesn't score you too many 
Bright Points.

People will beat a path to a good plumber because it makes a lot 
more sense than having your staurated ceilings collapse.  Leisure 
pursuits aren't quite as big a pull on people's attention...
