It\u2019s a challenge to bring our experience outside of our facility, but we give festival guests a taste using our portable boulder board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2232\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TOLpullup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the bouldering board solved her outreach problem, it also created another one: \u201cThe portable boulder board is an eight foot rock wall at a forty degree angle, and about 300 pounds!\u201d Even at a climbing gym, that was too much for just one or two employees to pick up, and it definitely wasn\u2019t going to fit into one of their cars. But Claire knew she had to get it to the Taste of Randolph festival the company was attending, and thankfully, she knew just how to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Climb to the Top<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy roommate was moving out of our apartment and asked for recommendations for movers on Facebook, where multiple people responded with Dolly. She had a great experience, and it gave me the idea to use it for work.\u201d \u00a0She <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/book.dolly.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=boulder-board-customer-story\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">booked a Dolly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the job and asked a few co-workers to help with the heavy lifting &#8211; even with two Dolly Helpers, she knew the 300+ pound boulder board would be outside their lifting capacity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Claire, Dolly was a breeze. \u201cWith the help of my co-workers and Dolly, we were able to transport it to our booth. The boulder board was an unusual beast of an item to move, and both my Dolly Helpers were friendly, flexible, and professional.\u201d Claire had a particularly enjoyable aspect of the experience: \u201cThe best part was in the communication, I was able to provide dimensions so they could prepare and know exactly how to tackle the load.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2233\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TORKIDCLIMBS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Claire is now a big Dolly fan: \u201cIf you need a truck, skip renting or begging your friends for favors.
