With bleeding cuticles, Christian Folk (from Outdoor Research) is pictured here in the crux of the 5.10 start to Ragged Edges at Red Rocks, Nevada.  The Red Rocks Rendezvous climbing festival begins this week and climbers are flocking to Vegas from all around.

The Visual Adventures contingent will be represented by Jason and Lisa, on behalf of Outdoor Research.  Lisa Nelson will be teaching a backcountry cooking course, and Jason Nelson will be teaching a multi-pitch efficiency clinic.  Jason and Lisa will also be talent for some photo shoots prior to the event with photographer Bryan Smith.

The weather is getting warmer, and it’s promising to be a great event.  We hope to see you there!

Jason Nelson, lead designer at Visual Adventures is on the cover of Against Magazine this month and there is a feature article about him and ice climbing.  The magazine is in Spanish, but if you don’t speak Spanish, you should be able to enjoy the pictures.
