Making the list of the top climbing blogs on the Internet were sites such as Climberism and PlanetMountain , both of which I enjoy reading regularly. But Outside's top pick in this ...

Like me, I know that a lot of you are aspiring photographers who love to take photos of your outdoor and travel adventures. Over the years I've come to appreciate well shot images of some of the amazing places that I've either been to personally or hope to visit in my travels at some point, and many of them end up gracing the screens of my various devices, such as laptops, iPad, smartphone, and so on. Now, you have the opportunity to get some of your best photos on the screens of millions of others, thanks

...and so I have added - not one - but TWO new projects to my repertoire. That's on top of the recently launched line of chalkbags under ClimbAddict Designs . The new ventures are similar, and came about when I was invited to join a team of sellers on the Etsy.com platform called Etsy Climbers. This is a group of people on Etsy who rock climb and either have shops on the site, or use the site to shop. The Team Page provides a place for you to join, if you are interested. At any rate, I was excited to join
