Thanks Mr. Mercer. I get the way you think, but agree to disagree

Jason Kehl also told me during the Show that he is done shaping human parts. So that should let you sleep easier.

Love this article, great post! I don’t really understand the obsession (maybe not obsession but the artistic perspective) to create a giant eye for our gyms. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of little kids either getting excited to touch it or rather scared that its gonna blink. I just hope that this whole idea of creating something awesome because its cool looking and realistic to something associated nothing with climbing doesn’t become the complete future of climbing holds. I enjoy the aesthetics of the abstract holds, as well as the way it feels

Posters of my favorite setters to hang up over my bed! What a great idea!

so-ill hold looks less like an eye and more like a baby’s head crowning in a monster vagina. that doesn’t make it any less cool though. they should keep this in mind when coming up with a name for the hold.

Good write-up Mike,

I liked the beginning, especially cause we got so screwed by the monster that is Outdoor Retailer!
