Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Let's keep that to ourselves. The license plate census does not lie. Moab is indeed in Colorado. |

I think it would be best if there were jut an autonomous state of the West Slope/Colorado Plateau. Neither the Wasatch Front nor the Front Range should have any claim on the Creek. I'd still let Boulder keep Rifle, though. |

+1, but for the record the WF has more claim than the front range. |

| hmm camhead you bring up an interesting point that I had not previously considered. I'll pose it to my colleagues perhaps we can come up with a catchy slogan for this autonomous state. |

Then why not name your website Utah Crack Gear? Who says you have to be located there to name it that? If CCH can get away with being in a different state than their company name, then you can too (joking). |

It would be nice if you could get POWER-BOLT SS Hex Head 1/2" stainless 5 piece bolts and sell them for less than the fastener supply stores. Even if a lost leader, if you undercut them and didn't gauge like mountaingear ($24 per bolt!!! LOL), you would get all new routers going to you and being happy to get their gear from you. The price that mountaingear tries to get pisses me off so much I don't like to buy anything from them. |

| You should have it so that when I click on the banner, I go back to the home page. That seems intuitive and is possible on most sites.
I think the banner looks cool, but it is weird that an Eldo based company has chosen Indian Creek as the feature image of their website.
Good luck! |

| I think that Eldo image is fantastic and the site looks great. Again, best wishes.
I also liked the stylized IC panorama. Some might not like the idea, but I think a rotating banner and theme would be cool. Switching between a bunch of photogenic areas known for classic trad lines like Lumpy (Twin Owls or Sundance Buttress), Vedauwoo, Devil's Tower, Needles, etc?
Obviously ignore the mob advice if it doesn't suit you. Don't let the MP community bully you into poor business decisions. But then again, we are the consumers ; ) |

| I like the site. However, now you're like the 1000's of other retail websites out there. Post back when you're having a sale. Maybe also consider a few dozen half naked nubiles in jail outfits - seemed to work for Moosejaw. |

My take on your site: Why would anyone purchase from you? Your prices are full retail, so no savings there. You charge shipping. You are a new company, so the trust factor is not there. People need motivation to take their shopping elsewhere. Every item you offer, I can get on backcountry.com, usually on sale, and with free shipping.
If you want to attract new customers, you need to drop prices a decent amount on everything in stock. Another possibility would be a 20% off coupon for new customers. You also need to offer free shipping on any order over $50. Backcountry, Moosejaw, REI, gearexpress, practically every online retailer of climbing gear does this. Bottom line, if you want new customers, give them a reason to choose you. |
