My future work site

Sometime next year, Petzl will be moving into a new building in West Valley.  I'm a little sad that I won't be closer to home, mainly because it's been so fun to meet the fam for lunch at the drop of a hat. 
Here's a link to the camera looking at the construction site.  The picture is updated every 15 minutes.

Petzl in West Valley

Look ma, I made the paper!

Twice a year my company gets to go to the Outdoor Retail show at the Salt Palace to show off our new products and generate buzz in the climbing world.  This week they let me out of my nerd cage and I got to work in the booth talking to dealers and buyers for a day.  There are always photographers walking around taking pics of what's hot, and somebody at KSL snapped this shot for an article that ran today.  Pretty sweet!
