So we here at City Beach love our walls, and we would not be in this business without the help of Eldorado Walls. This company is a staple in the climbing community and have helped build hundreds of fixtures of all sizes. They have also provided numerous gyms with sick grips, with their line of Franklin Holds, a personal fav of ours is the Bleau. So if you are looking for a company to help you construct your next wall then check Eldo out at : http://www.eldowalls.com/walls/walls2.htm Here are some pics that show the process:

Sanuk is Where it is at!
At City Beach we make it a point to showcase quality products that our staff wears, and this month we would like to put it down for Sanuk. These “sandals” have just made their way onto the scene in the last 2 years and let me tell you from personal experience, they are by far the best shoe on the market. Forget Crocs or Keen these shoes define comfort. A light canvas stitched together with a graphic thread that slowly unwinds to give you that torn look, sealed by a gel bottom and you have their line in a nutshell. Several of our employees ordered a pair, and needed a size change out, and Sanuk had the right sizes back at City Beach in less than two days. The people who are behind this company are a valuable asset to the climbing community, creating great products and personalized customer service. No wonder the two Chris’s (Sharma & Linder) sport them. Check out these products at www.sanuk.com and snag yourself a pair.
Best Shoe Ever
Bouldering in Sonora
Over the last month our staff have made numerous trips to a revived bouldering area in Sonora. The locals there have been developing like mad, and it shows. We found over 50 new lines. But why should you make a trip there? Simply it is the only limestone bouldering in California, and the shapes that are there will inspire anyone. The rock is sticky and there is so much there, it will never be climbed out. There are problems established from V0-V12. Below are some teaser photos, we will have more on this area in the next couple of posts. If you want some information on the area drop us a line in our comments section, and we will hit you up.
