Look Russ no tan lines.

As the holidays hit you might be lacking in ideas for your gift giving pleasure. We at MCPOD would like to make some recommendations that you can pass on to your  loved ones as well as some ideas for you to give because, let's face it a new chalk purse isn't all that fun if you aren't a climber. On with the list...

Things that will make your significant climbing others religious holiday of your choosing at the end of December extra special:

• Hueco Tanks T-Shirt $25 (skinny blond girl w/ scoliosis cost extra)
• 5.10 5X Neon Green Zipper, Velcro, Mocc $85 (the preferred shoe of old men everywhere)
• Beer from NW Peaks Brewery(Kevin is a great guy and even if you don't pick up a subscription you should stop by and check out his shop)
• Gerber Apocalypse Kit $priceless (if you can think of one good reason why your loved one doesn't need this 7 piece undead cutlery set you will proably be one of the first to die)
• Tweek Cap by Mammut (got hooked up with one of these guys a few weeks ago. if you are bald this is the perfect cap. keeps the ears warm with fleece but the top isn't fleeced in so no overheating)
• The Scene $20 (enough climbing porn to keep someone occupied for a least an hour)
• Mondo (not only a great catchers mit for the apt faller, but also a swish little mattress to snuggle up in at the end of the day)
• People I Want to Punch in the Face (see also the dudes from "The Island")
• Mossberg Just In Case $? (because sometimes a good set of knives just isn't enough)

Things to get the understanding non rock addicted significant other to make the religious holiday of their choosing at the end of December special:

• Amigos Skateboards T-Shirt (because let's face it the only thing cooler than grinding rails is bouldering and if your bird doesn't look sexy in a t-shirt it's time to find a new one)
• Necklaces from History & Industry (there could be a whole book written about things that good around your neck call "Things Women Like")

In the event that you are in the dog house with no end in site and no possible reprieve of a climbing weekend click this link and plan to drop at least $100. One way or another you are guaranteed a weekend of climbing or potentially at home.


Merry religious holiday of your choosing. My name's Mary. No Shit?

The Scene

Haven't seen the newest from Chuck Fryburger but his last flick was good. Nice to see more geezers moving to HD and shooting with the Red One.
