Moving to Colorado

Tom Markiewicz — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:12:09 +0000

I wrote about this on my personal blog this morning, but it’s definitely appropriate to discuss here on All Climbing. This summer my wife and I will be moving to the Boulder area of Colorado. I say Boulder “area” because we’re not exactly sure where we’ll end up finding real estate we like, but the goal is to be within a 30 minute drive of Boulder for primarily business reasons (also discussed in the post on my other blog).

I’ll be visiting Boulder and Denver next week to start getting a better feel for the different areas to live and hopefully get some climbing in (Saturday looks to be sunny and low 60’s!)

I expect to be living there by early summer, but it will all depend on selling our house here and finding labor only movers near me. My wife wishes for a stress-free move, and I believe we can achieve that by hiring professional long-distance movers from https://threemovers.com/long-distance-movers/.

Hopefully, we won’t encounter any unexpected house issues such as plumbing issues, but it’s always good to know how to get an emergency plumber or a handyman just in case. Also, during this transition, I’ve been exploring various financial options, including understanding the nuances between a straight loan vs amortized loan, to ensure a smooth transition to our new home.

I look forward to continuing my blogging on climbing with even more reporting on cool happenings as I’ll be much more near a climbing epicenter.

Happy belated 3 year anniversary to the All Climbing blog

I started writing All Climbing in January of 2005. At the time there were few, if any, actual climbing blogs. I don’t think any of those in existence back then are still writing. So, while it has been a lot of hard work, I’m proud to say All Climbing is still alive, kicking, and one of longest running climbing blogs. Now, whether it’s the best is an entirely different question

I love the fact that there are so many new blogs out there written by climbers. It’s an exciting time to be a climber using the Internet, now that there are more options than just RockClimbing.com and static websites of climbers (as was the case three years ago).

One of the aspects of writing for this blog is trying to provide content that my readers find interesting and relevant. I’d like to hear your thoughts as often as possible though. Please leave a comment letting me know what types of blog posts you’d like to see or any other thoughts / opinions you may have.

I updated the aging All Climbing design with a new theme today. I have a few more small changes to make, but the major work is complete. Check it out (especially if you’re reading via the RSS feed) and let me know what you think.
