Hey...

On Tuesday, the 24th of January, you're invited to come down (or up) to Richmond and climb at our wall from 6-9pm. Then at 9pm, watch an awesome slideshow/photography exhibition on the Red River Gorge as presented by Wes!

There is no charge for this event, including no charge to get into the gym and climb. All donations will benefit the RRGCCs drive to purchase the Murray Pendergrass Preserve.

You will have to sign a waiver, and it'll be top ropes and bouldering only, with belays provided by my competent staff members.

Check out our website for more info as it is available:

Thanks. Please RSVP to me via email found at the above website if you plan on coming so I can secure enough staff for the event.

Hey- and if you want, you can take my yoga class from 5:00-5:55 that day, then climb, then watch the slide show : ) It is at the gym too- right behind the climbing wall! Lemme know if you want to come to my class and I'll save ya' a mat.

Are you as cool as Rodney Yee? His power yoga dvd is fun.

waaaaaaay cooler than Rodney actually, we teach the same type of yoga.

Namaste is the coolest yogert instructor ever!

I just started doing his power Yoga video this week.

hey jb. i went to the gym yesterday and climbed on the tread wall. i noticed the bolt ladder on the wall...can i aid it?

no way can you aid it... it's too crazy far between the bolts!! it's like 3 feet or so. scary!

Anyone from Lexington want to carpool? I can chip in for gas, or drive if you're willing to chip in for gas. I can leave town around 5:20 or so.
