What's New at ROCK'n & JAM'n?

WOW... Welcome to springtime in the Rockies! I've been living in Colorado for over (dare I say) 30 years, and the weather this time of year never ceases to amaze me. Beautiful, warm, and sunny one day, and the next day you may be knee deep in snow. Not to worry, it usually will disappear within 24 hours. So some words of wisdom... if you plan to spend a day or a weekend on the rock, be prepared for anything mother nature may throw at you.

New (and returning) Faces to the ROCK'n & JAM'n counter!
 
 

We'd like to welcome two additions to our team. Both of them are not entirely "new" to the ROCK'n & JAM'n scene. We'd also need to wish a couple of long time employees bon adieu as they pursue new careers.

 

Amanda has been climbing at RJ2 for well over 5 years. Her outgoing and friendly demeanor make her a natural fit to our front counter staff. You probably know her from her tenacious drive on the RJ2 auto-belays.

 

We'd like to welcome Irene back to the RJ family. Irene has been involved with RJ2 almost as long as there has been an RJ2. As a participant of our original climbing team in addition to having been an employee in 2009, we're happy to welcome her back to the team.

 

We'd also like to wish Josh and Nate the best as they pursue their chosen careers. They both have greatly contributed to making ROCK'n & JAM'n a great place to work and play and will be sorely missed. We will strive to make the RJ2 Bouldering Leagues as fun and entertaining as Nate did. It will be a hard act to follow!
