Coming Soon to a Theater Near You: Reel Rock
I was lucky enough to hit the Reel Rock Film Tour — an annual showcase of the best new films about climbing — when it passed through San Francisco this weekend. Highlights of the festival include the world premiere of Progression and a preview of First Ascent, a new series for the Nat Geo Adventure Channel.
Climber or not, the Reel Rock festival is a must see for adrenaline junkies, outdoor enthusiasts, film lovers, and those seeking some kick ass motivation.
Sale Alert: Patagonia
End of season sales usually happen mid-season and when it comes to cold weather gear this timing is great. You can get new Winter gear and use it for a couple of months before storing it for next year.

Trail running is one of my favorite things to do in the fall.
Get Your Butt in Gear: Patagonia Lightweight Fleece
September is here and whether you like it or not, the weather is starting to cool off. I'm a little sad that warm weather is dwindling away, but I am psyched to spend more time outside. The cooler weather of autumn makes exercising outside much more pleasant and safe, since you don't have to worry as much about overheating.
Patagonia's Common Threads Recycling Program
Do you ever think about how much stuff ends up in the trash? So much crap ends up in the dump after we're done using it, and most of it won't biodegrade.
The people over at Patagonia are working to help this problem.
Get Your Butt in Gear: Patagonia Capilene Baselayer
Now that we're coming up on the end of August, the mornings and evenings are beginning to cool down. If you love to workout during this time of day, your shorty shorts and tank top just aren't going to cut it. You'll need a thin extra layer to keep you warm.
Get Your Butt in Gear: Patagonia Summer Wear
I love Patagonia's gear because everything I have from them is well made and comfortable. I know it can get a little pricey but they have a great idea behind their clothing recycling program and I like supporting companies who support the environment. Here are two pieces for summer that caught my eye recently:
I am in love with this W's Sleeveless Gal-Tee ($35.00) because the super soft jersey knit fabric of the Sleeveless Gal-Tee manages moisture and dries quickly to keep you cool.
