ABS Regional Championships - Hangar 18 Riverside

"Hangar 18 Riverside has some of the sickest indoor bouldering in the Western US, with top-out mantling problems up to twenty feet off the deck, the latest and greatest in pad technology from VooDoo, and one of the largest free standing boulders in the country to provide some of the sickest angles around to come and test your fingers on."

Visit the VooDoo Booth this Saturday for killer deals on VooDoo Gear!

December '08

VooDoo has been super busy this holiday season! We sold out of crash pads this week and holds are still flying out the door. Our next run of pads will be ready to ship late January - depending on production of our new metal buckles. Yes, custom metal buckles... we're so excited! Drop us a line if you'd like to reserve a crash pad from the next run.
Thank you to everyone that helped make 2008 a great year for VooDoo!

We're attending the Southwest Regional ABS Championships at Hangar 18 Riverside on January 10th. Our booth will be stocked with lots of chalk bags, haul bags, posters, and maybe a few crash pads - stop by for screaming deals on VooDoo gear!





Our hometown has been getting hammered with snow this week - we dug ourselves out a couple of times to bring packages to UPS and the Post Office - I think we need a snow plow & a mini truck ;-)

VooDoo is closed until January 5th - we're off to Mexico... looking forward to warmer temps.

Happy Holidays!

trick or treat

This year I spent Halloween with my good friends in San Diego. It was a last minute fun/work trip and a fantastic time. My flight was supposed to be uneventful - Flagstaff to Phoenix then on to San Diego - a total of 3 hours travel time. Sounded great to me - but I have this habit of chatting with people everywhere I go and I missed my connection in Phoenix! Totally embarrassed - I called my friends in San Diego to explain - they let me off easy and the airline booked me on the next flight to San Diego 3 hours later. So no big deal, I enjoyed dinner with my new airport friends. Boarded my next flight daydreaming about the Crow's Nest sunset cocktail hour in San Diego and waking up to a glorious view of the Pacific Ocean... unfortunately the fog came in - the pilots tried to land in San Diego.... twice.... no luck. My flight was sent back to Phoenix! Luckily, Lucy saved me from an overnight stay at the airport - she took great care of me and made sure I arrived at the airport on time the next day for my flight to Las Vegas then on to San Diego. Once I arrived at my final destination I was able to relax, soak up the fabulous scenery and the wonderful company. Thank you Stan, Margot, Mike, Cindy & of course my guardian angel - Lucy!

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!

Sedona

Last Sunday Frank & I decided to climb a fun route in Sedona to get in the desert climbing groove. The first chimney pitch was my favorite, but the summit was definitely the highlight of the day.
