Catalyst ION

Um...they were involved in development (is that not a good thing?)


"We at Catalyst would like to give a shoutout to everyone involved in this project. We aim to build the best products and all of these guys helped to build something amazing. Big shout out to-"

Yeah I would assume they've all had some number of free prototypes along the way....

Yeah, I would assume that would be a good thing...for developing a good product.

I guess I'm missing the point of this line of inquiry....I don't know of anyone secreting their involvement and promoting as otherwise.

This is the new standard?

It was really in response to the question about the guys getting a discount on the ION. My point was if they helped design, they had free ones along the way, why would they need a discount.

So did any of the guys whose names are listed on their website below the catalyst ION get a discount?

yes

 

[enkriss]

yes

TBD actually.

All the prototypes went back to catalyst. The only one on the list that is getting any compensation for their help is Mike Isbell for his aiders. The guys on the list just really wanted a stick/platform made specifically for one sticking and volunteered their time. Catalyst is the only one that listened. If catalyst wants to give a discount. Well that would be a nice gesture.

Any truth that Catalyst will have a new climbing stick as well?

This.

Were it my business, I'd give em each five, for personal use and distribution. Get a few passing around for folks to demo. These seem really solidly thought out, I imagine folks who try them out will really be impressed.

Cool that those involved took the time to help bring to market something we want, and that Catalyst ran with it.

Of course they will. That’s their bread and butter.

Interesting and for the record I have no idea. Didn't even see the list. Just figured the odds were in my favor on that one.
