What's New at ROCK'n & JAM'n? |
|
May has always been one of my favorite months... could be while growing up in Michigan, the cherry, dogwood, and crabapple trees were magnificent... could be finally shaking off the cobwebs of winter and getting a massive dose of spring fever... or it just could be my birth-month always makes me happy (at least for a few more years). Not to mention the fact that we opened up RJ1 in May 14 years ago... best birthday gift EVER! Happy Birthday RJ1!!!

Dang it's bright in here!
You may need to wear your shades when climbing at RJ1...
Props to our brave staff who replaced all of our metal halide lighting fixtures with Eco-friendly florescent. The florescent fixtures offer a 45% energy savings over the metal halides. |

Gear Specials this Month!
We're teaming up with CAMP to offer harness demos
Are you thinking about buying a new harness... Now's the time... you can try on several CAMP harnesses and climb a route or two to see if it's the right model for you. If you decide to buy, we're pleased to offer a 25% discount!
Stratos (Demos at RJ1 and RJ2): The new Stratos raises the bar for high-performance climbing harnesses. Although the new generation of laminated harnesses look great, they don't feel great because their construction prevents air exchange-on hot or muggy days. The Stratos features two layers of perforated foam that distribute the load evenly and allow moisture to escape, making the Stratos both incredibly comfortable and lightweight. Retails for $99.95
Laser (Demos at RJ1 only): The Laser is the harness of choice for high-end sport climbers who are looking for a comfortable harness that still offers all the performance attributes of a true red point harness. The waist and leg loops are constructed from laser cut webbing fixed to soft 3-dimensional mesh padding on the interior and rugged nylon on the exterior. The gear loops are stiffened to keep draws at the ready and the chalk bag attachment threads straight through the chalk bag loops so it does not dangle and twist on a carabiner. Retails for $99.95
Quartz CR3 (Demos at RJ1 and RJ2): The ideal all-arounder. Auto-locking buckles make it easy to get on and adjust while the Sliding Waist Belt with Fold-Over Construction allows the fit on the waist to be perfectly fine-tuned for exceptional comfort. Rugged materials and construction make the Quartz CR 3 a great choice for abrasive stone (desert) and big routes. Retails for $69.95
