Climbing Gear in Moab

I've been working on a new Annie's project. The story involves ropes and carabiners. While my husband and friends visited outfitter store Gearheads, I interviewed the store proprietor about climbing equipment.

We were supposed to be taking a few days away from work: my husband's job, my fiction writing, and our house renovations. But my mind is always on my writing.

I was amazed at the variety of climbing ropes and carabiners. Pick a color! Although there are much more important characteristics to select than color. My character's life might depend on her equipment.
