Last weekend we attended Grip Fest at The Rock Lounge in Durango for the SCS (Sport Climbing Series) Youth Competition. From ages 12 to 17, we witnessed the next generation of girls (and boys) crushing some pretty difficult lead routes. Stonewear provided several tops and bottoms as raffle prizes, swag for attendees, and we had […]

Let’s take a moment and see if we can imagine where Stonewear Designs came up with the name for their Escape Pant. Could it mean “escape”… from ordinary pants? Escape from wearing anything other than pants that are your favorite pair, which you want to wear every single day? Or maybe it was that these […]

When asked to write a blog post about how to be a successful at running ultra-races… not just finishing or just surviving an ultra-race…but actually being successful, I have to admit that I immediately had some self-doubt. I mean, who am I to share expertise on ultra-racing? I’ve only won one big race (two years […]

It’s that time of the year when workout routines start to get a little “cold weather” make-over as we prepare for the weather changing. By the end of summer, I am always ready for some cooler temperatures and long sleeves again. However, I also admit that the decreasing amount of sunlight coupled with cold requires […]

When you add a piece to your Fall wardrobe, it’s always nice to select something that is capable of double duty. With its smooth lines, warm fabric, and stylized details like reflective trim with a delicate scalloped pattern – the Niva Jacket is a great addition for the upcoming cooler seasons. Because of its athletic […]

There are times where you just need to be with nature. Running, walking, stretching or just sitting still and enjoying the moment it doesn’t really matter as long as I’m outside and away from society. My favorite place to do this is at Brainard Lake. During the week and super early in the morning no […]

One of my favorite parts of fall is the fact that it is cool enough again to layer. The Angara Vest is quickly becoming a favorite for my outside family time (and alone time too, of course.) Because it is wind and water resistant, I often throw it over another long-sleeve top (or two) and […]

6 Steps to Healthy Competition by Dana Waggener I live in Boulder, Colo.–a place of complete outdoor sports obsession. In Boulder, professional athletes run wild through the streets and on the trail. And these aren’t the kind of professional athletes that throw baseballs or pigskins. I’m talking about professional climbers, runners, cyclists, and their dirty counter-parts, […]

I might regret saying this out loud, but when I really think about it, I feel safer when I’m on a climbing adventure with a man than I do when I’m climbing with a woman. It isn’t because I don’t trust women, and it isn’t because I don’t have confidence in women. I haven’t been a […]
