Save big bucks with the Chicks’ Buddy Deal at Devil’s Lake!

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Update! Because of the major technological glitch that had Chicks Climbing down for more than 5 days last week, we are EXTENDING the buddy deal offer to run through Sept. 3! Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to save AND get top-notch climbing instruction!

We have BIG news to announce for our upcoming Chicks Rock! women’s intensive climbing clinic Sept. 13-16 in Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin!

Between NOW and Monday, Aug. 30, we are offering a special Buddy Deal that will save each Chick $100 who signs up for the Chicks Rock! clinic at Devil’s Lake with a buddy.

It’s simple – all you need to do is sign up for the clinic, specify the friend you are signing up with, and each of you will be refunded $100 from the cost of the clinic! This applies to the full package affair which includes three days of climbing at a 4-1 ratio, all meals, climbing and camping gear, or the daytime package which consists of climbing lessons only.

You can get more information by checking out the complete details of our Chicks Rock! women’s intensive climbing clinic here. Don’t miss this summer special! If you want to get in on the Buddy Deal you MUST SIGN UP BY Friday, Sept. 3!!!

And, for those of you who have already signed up for the Chicks Rock! Devil’s Lake women’s intensive clinic, if you want to get in on the deal all you need to do is convince one of your gal pals to sign up as well and we will give each of you a $100 rebate!

Questions? Let’s hear ‘em! You can reach us by sending an e-mail to info@chickswithpicks.net, or calling 970-mad-chic.

Lots of climbing news last week, what did you miss? Catch up with the Chicks Gossip Report!

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Here on the weekly Chicks Climbing gossip report you can catch up on all of the great gossip (articles, videos, and other assorted cool stuff) we talked about last week at Chicks Climbing! We had a couple of announcements this past week on the Chicks blog; the first was that Sterling Rope, the sponsor of our upcoming two BRAND NEW Girly Gatherings, has generously offered Chicks an amazing 10% discount on all purchases made at Sterling Rope through the end of this year! The best part is that everyone at the Girly Gatherings will get a chance to try out several of their ropes! Our second blog post is an update on Chicks Girly Guide Caroline George, who is having a majorly fun climbing summer and will be updating us soon with a blog from her Mount Rainier guiding this past month with RMI.

All of the other articles we linked to this past week through either the Chicks Climbing Twitter account, or on the Chicks Climbing Facebook fan page (and some on both!).

We provide this wrap-up because we come across a TON of great resources each week, but understand that not  everyone is online all the time, or even on both (or either) of these social media platforms. So you can check here each and every week for the latest and greatest in Clicks Climbing resources here on the blog.

However, we know WE may have also missed some cool stuff this week, so if there is something of interest we missed that you came across this week please, let us know so we can share with everyone else!

Sterling Rope offers Chicks an amazing discount!

Friday, June 25th, 2010

As you may have already heard, Sterling Rope has partnered with us to bring you two brand new Girly Gatherings on the east coast this year!

We will be up in upstate New York for a weekend clinic in the Dacks next month, and will be back east again to host another weekend clinic in West Virginia’s New River Gorge in late September.

As part of Sterling Rope’s support for Chicks they have generously offered Chicks Climbing a 10% discount on all orders placed at Sterlingrope.com from now until the end of the year! All you have to do is enter Girly10 at the checkout for 10% off your entire order from Sterling Rope.

If you’ve never tried Sterling Rope before, you will get a chance to sample it at all of our upcoming Girly Gatherings and Chicks Rock clinics! So take advantage of the opportunity to try them out, get a feel for what you like and if you’re in the market for one of your own, you can get it at a discounted price!

The rope pictured in this post is the Evolution Velocity, which is a great multi-tasking 9.8mm rope that has it all – just the right amount of stiffness, so your rope doesn’t flop during critical clips and a smooth sheath that withstands abrasion and slides effortlessly to reduce rope drag.

Plus, the Athena design with its brown and pink design just feels like it was designed with Chicks in mind!

Our very own Girly Guide Angela Hawse is proudly sponsored by Sterling Rope and loves their products.

Are any of you out there already using a Sterling Rope product? If so, we’d love to know what your favorite ropes are and what types of climbs and conditions you use them for. Please feel free to share so all of us as climbers can benefit!
