Facebook post 7/16/2023 Jaime Gangi - display
I’m psyched that I finally found some time to put together a Jaime Gangi display for the climbing museum! Jaime was a well known pillar of the AZ community, who passed in March 2023 from breast cancer. Wow 118 degrees in Phoenix today! Perfect day for a indoor project where my heart can share more tears and laughs with Jaime. Super cool!! My plan is to have the display hung up in the Museum at the Phoenix Rock Gym by Wednesday. Note to Jaime: “Thanks for hooking me up with a lot of Jaime stuff for me to share in the display!” “See, now you are back to eating chalk dust at the rock gym!” “On Belay! Once a climber, always a climber!” Many Blessings and Hugs and Love to the Gangi family. With Love, :) Marty, the Sage |

Jaime and I worked together, climbed together, slacklined together, hung out at competitions, chased rock stars all over the place, and had a lot of fun. I cant say that Jaime and I saw eye to eye on everything all of the time, but when it came to spirituality, Jaime was always there and had my back where ever I went. Whenever I least expected it, she would come up with one after another amazing donations to the museum. Also she enjoyed showing me her prize items that I continued to dream of having for the museum. Jaime was a solid friend and I want to say I miss her but yet I still feel her presence all of the time. When my life felt weird Jaime was there to help me work things through. I still feel like she is doing that for me. Hmmm other things to say about Jaime: she loved her family, she traveled the world, she loved boating with Bruno, .........Jaime lived!!

Marty Facebook post - January 2025
Special alert!!! The Karabin Climbing Museum was just schwagged by the Asana Climbing company. Alvarado with Asana recently stopped by the Phoenix Rock Gym to say hello, and to my surprise dropped off a handful of Asana trinkets to add to the museum. I already have many Asana items showing on the museum site, but I didn’t have these items yet. One of the items specifically is the Asana Beta Spray bottle which on the website is listed for one million dollars!!! There was only one of these items created and I think it is more of a joke overall, but the only bottle made was donated to the museum!!! |

Asana was tight in with Jaime Gangi, who died a few years ago from breast cancer. As I was showing Alvarado the museum items that are at the Phoenix Rock Gym which there is a Jaime Gangi display there, I found it really touching that he needed a minute to put his hand on the display and reflect back to all the support that Jaime personally gave to Asana.
Overall - many thanks to Asana, and Jamey Sproull the owner, for the many many many fun products that Asana has created for climbing, and the many Asana products that keep the many safe from injury.
