T-minus two weeks till the annual spring gathering that is the Red Rocks Rendezvous, outside of Las Vegas at the Red Rocks Conservation Area 
- so close to Vegas that the all-you-can-eat buffets and evening blackjack are still within easy reach. The festival is March 20-22, Friday through Sunday, this year.
Gregory’s been part of the Rendezvous for many years running. This year, along with our usual booth at the event and packs giveaways, Gregory-sponsored athlete Joe Kinder will be on the scene. He’ll be doing clinics (along with a list of other who’s who athletes from the climbing world) and hanging at the Gregory booth. For anyone who’s never met Joe, you’ll leave thinking it’s possible for you to climb 5.14 too. This guy is more than positive.
Along with climbing and clinics, there are slide shows and movies, parties, a variety of outdoor events along with climbing, and service-oriented projects to give back.
Gregory will, as usual, be giving away some packs, both through the auction that supports the Access Fund and at our booth, and this year we’re bringing some extra-special and unique swag that you’ll just have to stop by to see. We will say that people who get it will be psyched. We’ll also, of course, be doing pack fitting and fielding questions about Gregory.
Stop on by!
Regarding SWAG, we have a ton of it, we we’re gonna make sure that we have more fun this year than last (some think it’s not possible)!! That aside, Gregory will most definately be sporting the BOCCE ball, or lawn bowling, or as we refer to it ‘Adventure BOCCE’…always a good time. If you haven’t been, or are interested in Rock Climbing (it’s only scary in your head), check out the Red Rock Rendevous, Mountain Gear does an amazing job facilitating this event every year, and we are glad to be a part of it (any excuse to get out of the office!).
Oh yeah and we do take bribes if you’re looking to leave the event with loads of free goodies : )
