Trango Cord Trapper Rope Tarp
by: Collin Jenkins

Wish you had a rope tarp, or a place to store your flaked rope but don't want a fancy bag?  For $20 you can get the tarp, complete with color coded ties for top and bottom of flake.  A strap on the outside of the tarp lets you burrito-roll your rope and either slide it into a larger pack or strap it to the outside.  Clean, concise, done. 

Welcome James Pope
Edgeworks' New Operations Manager

If you haven't had the opportunity to meet Edgeworks' new Operations Manager yet, we've put together a little get-to-know-you interview with James Pope, who joined our staff in mid-December.

James is new to the PNW, having just moved here from the east coast and Florida, but he's no stranger to climbing gyms. In addition to being on a climbing team as kid, he also brings 4 years experience previously filling the role of Operations Manager for Brooklyn Boulders Somerville (Boston). We're stoked to have him join the Edgeworks team!
