That is minimum wage for a climber around here.

Has the cost of living gone down that much in Oh-wah-who since I was there in the '70s?

Ha! I wish. This is the most expensive place I have ever lived. Rents aren't as high as San Francisco or NYC, but the cost of food, clothes, anything you buy in a store...ouch!
