“We’re excited to see the creativity expressed in these videos from our TRUBLUE users,” said Candie Fisher, Marketing Director for Eldorado Climbing Walls and TRUBLUE Auto Belay. “We hear a lot of stories from different people about how they use TRUBLUE, from first time climbers just getting a feel for the movement of climbing, to more experienced climbers training for an upcoming trip or project. We’ve even seen uses outside of climbing, like a ‘leap of faith’ from a high platform and in perhaps the least extreme case, someone using their TRUBLUE to walk their dog – so the use of humor might score extra points, too.”
