Georgie Abel Takes the Dynamic Pant to the Top   Ever since I started climbing, I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of pants. I found brands that were either stylish, durable, or comfortable, but never all of the above. Thankfully, the new Dynamic Pants from Stonewear Designs are cute enough to wear out to […]

Momentum Tank Review by Erica Lineberry The Momentum Tank  is quickly turning into one that I could wear every day of the week.

Hoody Review: Take on the Rocks in the Lola Hoody by Terri Barry This last August, as a brand new Stonewear Designs Ambassador, I thumbed through the Fall 2013 Stonewear Designs catalog.

The Women’s Wilderness Institute: Empowerment in the Outdoors by Tali Koziol The first time I went climbing was with a boyfriend. It sucked. He said he would teach me, and he did. He taught me how to belay. Really well. Turns out my fella only wanted a Belay Bunny. When he let me try a […]

By Lizzy Scully “Enough” isn’t a concept I understand very well. My longtime climbing/personal trainer, Chris, says, “Lizzy, you just need to stop. Don’t do that extra push-up or crunch. Stop well before you get tired. Just stop.” Chris has been saying this to me ever since I met him, and for most of my […]

I train for climbing 2-3 days a week, run 2-3 days a week, go to yoga, and complete weight training sessions on a regular basis. I train indoors to reach my goals for climbing, running, and skiing. Staying fit […]

During lunch with one of my girlfriends, we stumbled onto the topic of feeling self-conscious about our bodies. She was telling a story of how she and another friend were taking part in a group weights class at their gym. As they entered the classroom, my friend noticed that a woman was only wearing a […]

I was hoping to have pictures for this review from climbing at Smith Rock today, but the weather didn’t cooperate.  So, I headed to the gym with my almost 6-year-old and she took these shots.  My favorite top from the spring line is the Electra tank.  I’m wearing it in cool stripe, but I love […]

We could write about hard-core rock climber Quinn Brett, but written words probably wouldn’t do her justice. So we’re letting our latest Inner Visions, Outer Triumphs video do the talking. Quinn is a mountain maven, fierce athlete, and wilderness protector. And, perhaps because of Quinn’s childhood growing up with a band of boys, she’s proven that […]

By Lizzy Scully, Photos by Will Mebane (except for the first one) Still 40 feet from the belay, I felt warm drops of urine trickle down my leg, over painfully swollen yellow jacket stings. After four hours, I couldn’t hold it in any longer. “I’ve gotta go!” I screamed at the top of my lungs […]

Every year, I take months off from my favorite sport—rock climbing—because of overuse injuries. Sometimes, as with last year, the months extended to more than 10, with five months of physical therapy, followed by surgery and more therapy. I’m 39, yet I have repeatedly ignored the advice of my physical therapists and doctors for the […]
