Dear Drew, I wish you all the best with your new company. It is the collective dream of Americans, and people abroad like me, to be able to thrive doing what they love. I love trad climbing, just like you, and I am thrilled to hear that someone is starting a grass-roots company because they LOVE climbing in the face of nasty giant companies that forgot to look up what RP means. Money talks, we all know that, and sales, low prices, and competition are inevitable. This will make it hard to survive against huge retailers like backcountry. But remember the long term goal: someday owning a small gear outlet in Eldorado Springs and being able to afford to call Eldo your permanent home. Heck, if all else fails, you could disguise yet another "pharmacy" in Eldo behind the mask of a climbing store.

My climbing friends, don't forget that climbing is a lifestyle, not just another sport. Buy from the little fella and for the love of God, let companies that are huge and have nothing to do with climbing *cough* adidas and *really hard cough* nike know that this sport is for us, not for giant profits. I believe that now or never, little unique companies could really change the face of climbing, and should, for the better. Don't forget this, guys, that you as the 'consumer' have the power to alter the climbing community. What is a couple of extra dollars, anyway? Shipping from a little guy who supports his community or saving the money, buying a mocha latte that you complain makes you fat, and buying the same gear from a big company that is owned by Liz Claiborne who ruthlessly advertises in women's magazines making them have lower self esteem which makes them basically terrible girlfriends (i had this problem, i know). SEE??? It is all related here people! Ok, I am done.

Drew, I hope that people will see how powerful they are as consumers and realize the clear benefit from buying crack climbing material from coloradocrackgear.com.

BTW, do you ship to Europe? I could really use that 20% off for some QD's!!!!!! Let me know! HUGS FROM DEUTSCHLAND!

picking up a #2 mastercam from you brohas, looks to be a great deal with the coupon, and i much rather buy from smaller companies than big boxers like moosejaw and backcountry.

when i buy new(which is rare, but it happens) it'll be from you.

Bump. I have ordered a couple times from ColoradoCrackGear and am absolutely impressed with the prices and service. I'll definitely be shopping there more often. A little side note: if you need to call about something, wait until "normal" hours. I may have unintentionally awoken Drew this morning way (way, way, way) too early. He handled it amazingly. Sorry Drew!

+1 for CCG, it's great to see people support a small online retailer. Whittlesticks is a stand-up guy and well traveled climber that knows his gear.

Another positive bump for CO crack gear. Ordered online sunday night and had my gear by wednesday. 20% off, free shipping and supporting a local retailer. can't be beat. plus they've now got aliens!!

whittlesticks, your site needs an identity. Or at the very least a logo.

I'm a graphic designer and would be willing to barter to help you out. PM if you're interested.

I ordered some cams from colorado crack gear a few weeks ago, and couldn't be more pleased! Quick shipping and great prices...definitely recommended

It comes up as $119 after I select "6" as the size, now.

Just got a message from Drew over at Colorado Crack Gear. Apparently, they are no longer able to offer the Mountain Project discount. Won't let it deter me from giving them business, but thought I'd give everyone a heads up.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
