  • The Climbing Biz

    Things have been going really well at the rock gym. We’ve been busy every weekend since we opened last year on Nov 5, 2007. What we did was take a gym that was on its way out and turn it around so that it is now on its way up. Everything about the gym has…

  • The Gym

    The gym has gotten off to a great start. We’ve been open since Nov ’07 – just 3 months – but things have already taken off. Seems like I work twice as much and twice as hard as I did at my previous career but this is way more fun. I am reminded of a…

    The countdown for the Olympics begins in China today – it’s one year from the opening of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. This brings forth the bittersweet reality that is China.

  • Renegade Picture Show – AUG 11 – BIG LEBOWSKI

    I think this Renegade Picture Show will be our biggest yet – and if not – well, there will be a few of us having a hell-of-a-good time. The plan is for everyone to dress up as a character from The Big Lebowski. Just that should be pretty funny. On top of that we are…
