Um... may I suggest that 4 people simul climbing at the same time might not be the best idea ever... And how and why would one ever simul-climb a sport climb?

From the website: "Indiana Jones style adventures in our own backyard."
I don't think there are too many, slave labor mining operations that need liberation, Nazis to fight, and definitely no holy grail to be found on Mt. Shasta JJYOSH. 
Edit to ADD: Something is funky with the CSS alignment of your whole header section on the site... Noticed an occasional 1 or 2 pixel displacement to the left.
