You are listening to the Enormo cast.

So many of you probably feel like it's a flex to bring your grubby outdoor gear to the gym.

Yes, we see the red dirt on your big wall harness, sir, and we all know you were doing

a real climbing over the weekend. But the rest of us know that it's almost essential to have

a kit that's packed just for the gym and not mixed up with our outdoor stuff, and Black Diamond has

you covered there too. Check out the Mandito chalkpot for those bouldering sessions.

When wearing your chalk bag makes you look like a doof.

The Stone 42 Duffle is perfect for the arduous approach when the parking lot is, you know,

pretty full. In the air-net harness is the lightest fastest harness around since, as we've

noted many times before, you can leave your cordolettes, your spare belay device, the knife,

the bellbeeners, the walkie-talkies, cams, nuts, straws, extra lockers at home when you redpoint

the new 12-A in the gym. Finally, Beaty's casual climbing apparel like the Craig Denham Pats can

flip from the gym to the street to the cliff without a care and make you look oh so chill when you

drive fire and land flat on your back with a loud thwap. So let Black Diamond kit you out for the gym

and the Craig by going to Black Diamond Equipment.com or your favorite local gym pro shop,

and make your next gym flex be simply giving a good belay and some encouragement to a total stranger.

When it comes to sportiva, I often praise the longevity of their venerated classics like the

Mira, because well, if it ain't Baroque, don't fix it. Italian Baroque that is.

But as we know, I'm a stick in the mud whose glory days are well behind him, but you dear

listener still have your best days waiting to jump out at you like a puppy wearing a backpack

full of caramel corn. So hey forward thinkers, let's take a gander at what's new over at sportiva.com.

The redesigned Continental Ace is an absolute edging machine. The updated tarantula line provides
