To quote the opening line of Van Halen's Hot for Teacher: "Uh, WOW, man."
Yann and I finally landed in a foggy Salt Lake City (the captain couldn't see the runway so he put it on "auto-pilot" - good times) and found our way to the motherland: the Outdoor Retailer Show. I'm currently in the Press Room trying to keep my HEAD FROM EXPLODING!
THIS PLACE IS NUTS!
Even if you're just remotely interested in anything that has to do with outdoor sports, you can't walk ten feet without being open-mouth mesmerized by a blitzkrieg of cool new toys that you just have to have. Unreal. Even if you didn't stop at any booths, you couldn't walk through the place in a single day. It's like an endless underground lair of adult toy temptation.
But this kind of eye candy comes with a price - some manufacturers aren't even letting anyone take pictures of their new stuff! But don't fear, citizens of YourClimbing.com, a little smoke and mirrors* by yours truly and we'll get you some visuals of the goods.

Wiping the drool from my chin - more later...

Never been myself but say hey if you run into our two RRGCC minions Bentley & Morgain. Also, if you happen to meet Fletch Andrews from MSR/Cascade Designs make sure to tell him Captain Static said hello. Fletch is the is the person who bestoyed me with the CS moniker!
