Wyoming is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. I made my way up to Jackson Hole to say hello to our retailers and climbing gyms on my way to Lander. One of our retailers, Teton Mountaineering, http://www.tetonmountaineering.com/, is situated dead center of Jackson Hole and has everything you could ever need for your outdoor adventures.
Enloseure, http://www.enclosureclimbing.com/, is a beast of a climbing gym that is located just outside of town on your way up from I-80. Not only do they have tons of steep terrain, but they also have a really great retail shop that carries many Evolv models. I was bummed to have to leave Jackson Hole, but I had to get to the WICF and represent.

Lander Wyoming is situated right below Sinks Canyon, one of many world class climbing destinations in the Lander area and is home to the Wyoming International Climber's Festival. http://climbersfestival.org/
The town has a great vibe with super friendly locals that are very accomidating and strong as shit. The local mountain shop is Wild Iris Mountain Sports, http://www.wildirisclimbing.com/, and is located right on Main St. Just outside of town to the south is Wild Iris, also a world famous limestone crag that boasts 100's of super fun and inspiring routes.

The 17th International Climber's Festival was in full swing this last weekend and Evolv was there to represent. Ryan Arment busted his ass running this awsome event and is a wicked climber in his own rite. There were parties, pull up contests, arm wrestling contests, clinics, demos, slide shows, crate stacking, slack lining, dyno comps, running races, and beer of course. The Lander Brew Pub kept everyone in great spirits as the four day event unfolded.

Laif Gasch is one of our team members that is from Lander and has been a part of the WICF since it's infancy. He pretty much knows every single person in town and helped me with my first WICF, thanks Laif.
I look forward to having Evolv being part of the 18th WICF. until next year, happy climbing:)
Smiles from all around:)
Happy climbing from your Rocky Mountain Evolv sales rep, EZ.
