Time to throw away your Nalgene bottles - There’s been numerous articles recently written on the problems that have surfaced regarding Nalgene bottles. Since most climbers own one of these, I decided to look into what is actually going on.
I was in the REI in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia recently and I didn’t see a single Nalgene bottle on the shelves.

Outdoor clothing store Nau closes - I was introduced to Nau by Andrew Hyde during my trip to Boulder in March. During a brief chat at the TechStars office, Andrew recommended I stop by the Nau store in Boulder before leaving. He praised the quality of their sustainable clothing and fact that the company was founded by former Patagonia employees.

Gear Review: Revolution Uzi Crash Pad - I’m a firm believer that a serious boulderer needs three types of crash pads. First, there’s the all around workhorse crash pad. At a standard size of about 40″ by 50″ feet, this pad will take care of the vast majority of your bouldering needs. Most crash pad models fall into this category and you [ ]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Gear Review: Revolution Uzi Crash Pad", url: "http://www.allclimbing.com/archive/2008/05/gear-review-revolution-uzi-crash-pad/" });...

La Sportiva?s new Miura VS coming soon - I cannot wait to get my hands on a pair of the new La Sportiva Miura VS velcro shoes.
The lace-up Miura’s have been my shoe of choice for the past several years, so I’m eager to see how a velcro version stacks up.
I’m encouraged by the product description:

Red Rock Rendezvous Review - The Backcountry Blog has an insightful and partially negative view of the recent Red Rock Rendezvous.
As it turns out, being a pro climber does not necessarily make you a great instructor. It does make you an excellent advertiser though, and it was clearly conveyed what company makes the best equipment.

Why is this news? There’s already three good sized gyms in Boulder already. But as I found out in my trip to Boulder a couple weeks ago, everyone you meet there is a climber.

Cleaning new bouldering problems in Virginia - I just returned from a great bouldering session today at a new, yet to be named, area in Virginia. It’s hard to believe that these boulders have not been developed yet due to their proximity to the Appalachian Trail; but the dirt, shrubbery, heavy lichen, and lack of chalk say otherwise.
There are a few local [ ]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Cleaning new bouldering problems in Virginia", url: "http://www.allclimbing.com/archive/2008/03/cleaning-new-bouldering-problems-in-virginia/" });... Registration for New River Rendezvous getting full - I’ve heard reports that the New River Rendezvous registration is starting to get full. This year organizers are limiting the event to the first 700 climbers who register in advance.
The fee is only $25 and from my past experiences at the Rendezvous, it will be money well spent.

Moving to Colorado - I wrote about this on my personal blog this morning, but it’s definitely appropriate to discuss here on All Climbing.
