TweetShareBut, my amazing friends Fitz and Becca are about 10,000 downloads away from the one million downloads mark, for the Dirtbag Diaries. What does that matter?  Well … in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t.  Who really cares about one million downloads.  Or 5.16.  Or 5,000 followers.  On the other hand, the fact that [...]

AAC, you had me at Jack Tackle.

by Sara on June 24, 2011

TweetShareDear American Alpine Club: I should have joined eons ago.  I know.  It’s been on my to do list — literally — for years. I’m going to Rockfest in Mazama this weekend, and I nearly joined when I registered for Rockfest.  I’m not sure what stopped me. But today, when I received this announcement from [...]

The Love Letter: Not your Typical Adventure Film

April 13, 2011

TweetShareI just reviewed The Love Letter by Fitz and Becca Cahall over at Elephant Journal… if you don’t feel like reading the review, the short version is, I loved it.  For a long list of reasons.  But if you don’t feel like reading the review, you won’t want to read them here either, so I’ll [...]

TweetShareWhen I wrote my first post last year about my beginning forays onto the ski slopes, I got a few notes indicating that readers would rather I stick to climbing… that there are enough ski blogs out there already.  Well, I say… tough.  I’ve become a skier; and now that I’m finally learning to ski [...]

February 16, 2011

TweetShareLast week I participated in a podcast with Patrick Gensel, Josh Turner, and Kristy Graves to discuss the state of womens’ technical apparel (the short version, it’s getting better and better) and other highlights from Outdoor Retailer… the recent environmental concerns about a sensitive proposed location for an outdoor retailer… a discussion about the non-profit [...]

TweetShareThis is a bit far afield for RockClimberGirl.com, but I wanted to share it anyway.  Sometimes I write stuff not about rock climbing (although, climbing tends to sneak in there, somehow) and here’s the most recent.  ElephantJournal.com was kind enough to run this little story, and a huge thank you to Marja Huhta, who designed [...]

What’s your Climb for Change story?

February 8, 2011

TweetShareI’m pretty darn blissed from my early start to climbing season… hit the bouldering wall last week and then snuck in a way better than expected day out at Vantage on Saturday… but now I’m entirely too fried to sit at the computer any longer today!  So, rather than half-heartedly type up a trip report [...]

TweetShareDear Jane, You were the first thing I saw, when I walked onto the show floor at Outdoor Retailer Winter Market.  I spotted you straight away, across the aisle, as I headed toward my first appointment of the show with Ambler Mountain Works. It was love at first sight. I was lucky enough to get [...]
