I know, I know the Holiday's are officially over, we're all doing the best we can to re-stuff our empty wallets after using just about every dollar we could find on gifts for our friends and families...the last thing you probably want to hear is that I have an absolutely amazing opportunity for you to save even MORE money, by, well, spending some of it.

When is it too early to start Holiday shopping again? Hmm, now? Yes, in fact, now is the Perfect time to start getting your birthday, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and yes, even next year's Christmas shopping done. Why, you might ask? Well when we're having a sale where brands like Carve and prAna are going for anywhere from 30-50% off, I'd say it's a great idea to spend a little more, to get a whole LOT more back!

That's right, we're having some major sales with select designs by Carve and prAna going for huge discounts. Check out the shorts, the cotton hoodies, the pants and a whole lot more at bargain bin prices. These brands are the best of the best and at 50% off, you'd be just plain silly not to bring home something.

Stop in, check it out, gear up. We'll see you there!

It doesn't matter if you're brand new to the sport of climbing or bouldering, or a seasoned veteran, we all know that when it comes to climbing, falls are a simple, often painful, constant. The bad news is, it will always be a constant, the good news, it doesn't always have to be painful!

If you've ever been to a climbing gym, one of the first things you'll likely notice are crash pads. Any slip, tumble or fall can be transformed from a nasty, potentially career or sport-ending fall into something to laugh about, learn from, and advance yourself further into climbing. Bottom line, if you're a serious climber, or serious about becoming a serious climber, you need your own crash pads for your own bouldering needs!

I have some great news: Touchstone Climbing offers crash pads, and you can special order any pad you want from all of the companies we deal with if we don't happen to have the one you want in stock. The better news is, in our special ordering we can get different sizes and colors if we don't have the exact one you want. The BEST news is that as a member of Touchstone Climbing, you get 10% off your order! The prices range from about $135 up to $370 for the top-of-the-line. We offer the best of the best when it comes to crash pads, including Voodoo, Moon, Organic, Metoulius and Black Diamond pads!

Be smart, invest in some pads so your climbing and bouldering days can continue long into the future.
