Red Rock Rendezvous

Red Rock Rendezvous is the nations largest outdoor climbing festival. Over 1100 climbers gather right outside Las Vegas Nevada each for three jam-packed days of climbing, clinics and activities. Clinics are hosted by some of the top professional climbers from across the country. Dr. Vagy, the author of “The Ultimate Climber – Prevent Injury and Peak Your Performance” was invited to run two seminars at the festival called “How to Climb Injury Free.” Both sold out clinics taught climbers how to move efficiently on the wall without getting hurt and introduced injury prevention exercises to keep them climbing safe and strong.

The intelliskin posture shirts were a hit. I gave one to Hans to keep him aligned. Stand Tall!
