Once again, the Horsetooth Hang has come and gone. The Hang is a climbing festival put on by Cameron Cross and the Northern Climbing Coalition every October. http://www.horsetoothhang.net/
Horsetooth Reservoir is a sandstone bouldering area that sits up in the foot hills just above Ft. Collins, CO. Horsetooth, also known as Rotary Park, has some of the most famous boulder problems in the U.S. Problems like, The Pinch Overhang, Left and Right Eliminator, and Meat Hook are just a few problems put up by John Gill, the god father of bouldering.
The weather was perfect for a good day of climbing outside. I went to the Hang to represent Evolv Sports http://www.evolvesports.com/by setting up a booth and running a shoe demo along other shoe companies like 5.10, La Sportiva, and Scarpa. Other vender's that supported the Hang were The Access Fund, New Belgium, Northern Climbing Coalition and many others. The turn out was really good with lots of folks curious about the new Evolv product line. There were lots of good questions about the shoes and I hope I was able to help climbers with their next climbing shoe decision. I always enjoy helping climbers with climbing shoes and Evolv is by far the best climbing shoe out there, which makes it pretty easy. We had lots of team members show up to participate in the event and to help out at the booth, Brian Rhodes, Ben Schmidt, Byron Johnson, Nick Duttle, Paul Desatco, Wolfgang, The Peacefull Warriors and myself to just name a few. Most of the Evolv team members are always up to give a helping hand as well as discuss the products they utilize as athletes. We thoroughly enjoy participating in events like the Horsetooth Hang and love being part of the community.
Thanks Cam for putting on yet another phenomenal event.
