great doing so!
Rock Gyms
- Stonehenge — Modesto, CA. This is where I learned to climb. This place will always be my "home" gym.
- Planet Granite — Sunnyvale, CA, with locations in Belmont & San Francisco. All locations have excellent facilities.
- City Beach Rock Club — Fremont, CA. Very nice wall, nice atmosphere.
- Pacific Edge — Santa Cruz, CA. The tallest and one of the biggest gyms I’ve been to.

Manufacturer’s Sites
- Evolv — Never thought I’d be a guy for velcro shoes, but the Defy shoes are VERY nice slip-lasted shoes. Vegan friendly, too!
- Boreal — Even though I sold my Stingers years ago, Boreal is one of my favorite shoe manufacturers.
- Scarpa — I have a pair of their “Dominator” shoes. They’re quite nice, but I need to get the resoled.
- Blue Water — The Climbing Company. Makers of really awesome harness (and ropes), including the Renegade – My next harness.
