In 2008, EMS organized a big outdoor festival/party up in the northeastern U.S. appropriately named the Nor’Easter. Now, during this event, there was a wee bit of rain, which only makes the name more appropriate.
This year, here in just about two months time, the Nor’Easter is back, and this time there will be no rain - they promise. Here at Gregory, we’ve signed on again as a sponsor, and we’re psyched to be making the journey from Sacramento out to Loon Mountain, in Lincoln, N.H. for the event, which is Sept. 24-26.
Part festival, part rock concert, conservation event, and part outdoor clinic, the Nor’Easter is designed more than anything to bring outdoor types together for a week of fun. While the lineup of clinics hasn’t yet been set, the bands playing have been named, the final event of the season of the Unified Bouldering Championships takes place Saturday night, and the event is right by Rumney, N.H. and some great cragging. Besides climbing, they’ll be a cyclocross race and trail running.
Here’s a little video shot with Gregory athlete Joe Kinder at 2008’s event. It was a homecoming of sorts for Joe, who learned to climb on the crags in the area.
One of Gregory’s favorite organizations we support is San Diego based non-profit group 
This October, Outdoor Outreach will be hosting their annual Joshua Tree Experience event, a two day, fully catered event where participants can climb, camp, hike and practice yoga, all while fundraising for at-risk and underprivileged youth.

Caldwell, Cedar Wright, Conrad Anker, Alex Honnold and even ME!!!! The clinics are from the best and delivered to you right at the cliff for the entire day. Think about it…how many events do this sort of thing with THAT may professional and very knowledgeable climbers? NONE!!! Absolutely none. This is the time of the yaer where us professional climbers share what we know best for an entire weekend. For the person interested in “Fast and Light Multi-Pitch Climbing”…there is a clinic for it. There are clinics for women who want to climb like women!!! Whatever that means!! Chris Lindner offers a course in taking big falls. He sets you up in the air and you do nothing except take HUGE falls all day…Totally safe of course. There is the “Photog Course” which teaches climbing photography tactics. There are SO many options it’s overwhelming. In fact most people have to return the next year just so they can catch that one clinic they didn’t take because they were in another one…HA!
This Thursday, George, Molly and myself will be leaving SacTown on a jet plane. Destination…Vegas.
