Climb X Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) The Shoe Formerly Known as the Rad Moc Hello Fellow Northwest Climbers, We need some help renaming our Rad Moc. Whoever has the best name gets a free pair and others with clever names might get some swag anyways. But it will have to be pretty clever. They are an awesome slipper style shoe with a single strap over the top to ensure they stay put while heel hooking. The 3D compression molded climbing rubber leads into a descent tread on the sole. Great for cracks and face climbing. Thanks for your help! Edited February 3, 2011 by Climb X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Gotta love Lawyers especially one's from L.A. First thought would be the Kardashian or perhaps the Cochran or even better yet the Shapiro but to avoid further run ins with scum of the earth lawyers, why don't you call it "THE GLOVE" or would that cause another riot after all the chalk bag and shoes i'm wearing in this picture were bought from climbmax on hawthorne Edited January 30, 2011 by pink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robpatterson5 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) How about the Trad Moc? Alternatively, the Gecko, and Kermit the Shoe, and high moc come to mind. Also what about naming it after a route/area in the PNW - the Malamute, Chief, Index, ect Edited January 30, 2011 by robpatterson5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robpatterson5 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Green and "Organic Hemp foot beds" ...Grass Moc? Or a pair of Benjamins - b/c their green and worth that much? but in that case you got to print them with a overly xeroxed and contrary pattern of Benjamins - would be really cool Edited January 30, 2011 by robpatterson5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climb X Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I love 'em I love 'em keep them coming. Since we are the first and only climbing shoe company in the Pacific Northwest (and if someone can lay claim to someone who was here first, please educate me) I am not opposed to something PNW themed. Thanks to everyone participating and brain storming - this is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldfinger Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks to everyone participating and brain storming - this is fun. Sure is, amazing what a little research digs up! Now did your company really say this? “… a new name has been chosen to set us apart and differentiate this company from the previous one: we are now Climb X. Same sales team. Same distributors. Same production facility. Same product development staff. The same award-winning products.” Found that here: Vikki Weldon blog She seems to suggest you were implying that you were a reincarnated Mad Rock. So I'd be interested to hear your take on this here on CC.com, care to reply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky_joe Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Anyone else gone over ClimbX's website? ALL of their gear looks to be Mad Rock product that they've re-stamped with ClimbX. Sketchy operation if you ask me. EDIT: Gone through the whole site now. The only thing I can find on their entire site that is not a direct copy of Mad Rock design, pattern, etc. They didn't even bother changing the name for the Galaxy Harness they stole from Mad Rock. http://climbxgear.com/galaxy.aspx http://www.madrockclimbing.com/products/product.asp?_item=100021 Is their incredibly bulky looking Gold Locking Carabiner. These fuckers aren't even a well run scam. Edited January 30, 2011 by rocky_joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
