What a treat! Our old friends Cal & Marsha made an appearance in Flagstaff last week - they live in Bishop, CA - yeah, I know - why do you leave Bishop to vacation? Well, Flagstaff is pretty darn awesome & I think Marsha is falling in love with our little hometown.... or is she just in love with our dog Sue???? hmmmmm ;-)
I forgot the Camera when we headed out to the Priest Draw Monday but I can assure you - these two tore-it-up! What a fun day - I secretly reminisced about the days we used to spend bouldering at Black Mountain and various other So. Cal spots together - good times - I couldn't help but smile the entire day.
We went for a fun Mountain bike ride on Tuesday and when Marsha said she wanted to go bouldering afterward I thought she was kidding - I was WRONG! The whip cracked & we quickly headed out to Gloria's Boulders for an evening session.
The next day Cal & Marsha went for a ride on Mt. Elden and then spent another evening session at the Priest Draw with Frank as I boarded a plane for San Diego.
On Thursday they all headed to Sedona for some Mountain Biking and a mini Vortex tour - I hear it was a great time. Cal & Marsha headed to Moab that evening - rumor has it that they'll be heading back to Flagstaff this week - I won't forget my camera and I'll keep a close eye on Sue!
A super fun time catching up with friends!

A few VooDoo Innovations

Environmentally Responsible
The original environmentally responsible urethane climbing hold: VooDoo holds are made with a bombproof semi elastic mix. Our specially formulated polyurethane mix is non TDI, non mercury and our pigments are lead free, creating a safer climbing hold for the buyer and the manufacturer. After 15 years of working with urethanes and understanding all of the benefits we’re happy to see other hold companies are finally switching to urethanes.

Pure Base Technology
VooDoo created a unique manufacturing process that allows us to laminate a pure, semi-flexible base (comparable to the consistency of a modern skateboard wheel) to the standard core material of our holds. The advantages:
*Semi-flexible base adjusts to the surface contours of climbing walls
*Softer base creates more friction between the hold and the wall, dramatically reducing spinning holds.
*Improves the safety and durability of our holds by allowing the edge of the hold to flex rather than chip off and create ugly and sometimes dangerous sharp edges.
*Pure Base does not alter the shape or the texture of the climbing hold, and has been tested to withstand the common cleaning solutions used by climbing gyms across the country.

Dual Texture holds
VooDoo was the first to create dual texture holds and we are still the best at it. The slick texture forces the climber to use the textured gripping surface on the hold which requires more accuracy. Dual texture holds are many course setters’ favorites because they make it difficult to cheat a move.

Hollow Back holds
VooDoo revolutionized the hold industry by inventing the hollow back hold. The hollow backs make our holds lightweight and easier to handle while setting routes. By using less material we keep the cost of the hold and shipping down.

Sliding bolts
Another VooDoo innovation, with a sliding bolt there are more options to use existing t nut locations, allowing you to slide the bolt where you need it. Two attachment points make it so the bigger holds can’t spin.
