Martin, amazing work! Curious if you are at a point to scale and make your shirts available at local, independent shops for the locales featured on the shirts?

Suffering, or the Masochist, with an offwidth climber.

Will you be doing more prints of the topos?

Yes - I am currently doing:
1. Eldorado Canyon (As an area)
2. Naked Edge (Eldo)
3. Walk of Shame (Black Canyon)

sadly they take a few days each - do you have any additional ones you would love to see?

Thank you for the kind words.
I tried to do that - starting from the top:
1. Hand jam
2. Starting ringlock
3. Finger jam
4. Finger stack

Should it be more obvious? Maybe Fist?
Really appreciate the feedback!

Ah I sorta see it now. Yea something about it isn't obvious. A more obvious handjam or fistjam might do it, or an overhead butterfly stack. Or add some embellishments that represent the rock around the hand, idk.

Any thoughts about big alpine routes? Would be sweet to see liberty ridge or ham and eggs in this style

Your whole concept is so fucking awesome.  BD or REI would pay you millions for it if you're ever ready to hit the beach long term...  Congrats and well done.

So, Next Up:
1. Naked Edge (Eldo)
2. First Three of the Tarot Collection (2 out of 3 done)

They all look great! Keep em coming. I feel like a little advertising and this should sell well. Have you tried reaching out to local gear shops for the areas you’ve made shirts for? Seems like something worth investigating. You could also collab with the gear shop.

  Naked Edge is 90% done - probably coming late next week
  Aiming to drop the first 4 of the Tarot Collection on 04/11 // 10 am
  Once the first 4 of the Tarot Collection are up, I'll draw the comment feedback winners

  Tomorrow 04/05 // 10am I will drop a limited Edition Eldo Canyon that has a MC / Bike Chapter design (since we all know how tough Eldo is   )   will drop here: classicclimbs.wtf

However, I am totally lost what version is better:
#1 is more like a bike chapter where you have the state / city / location at the bottom. Got some people saying Colorado doesn't matter to them(!?)
#2 is just straight Eldo canyon since we know where it is?

What would you prefer?
Please help by casting a vote for:
#1 Eldorado Canyon / Colorado // or vote for // #2 Eldorado / Canyon


As always, truly appreciate your help!

How about some climbs out East? Gunsight to South Peak of Seneca Rocks comes to mind. Pleasant Overhangs as well.

Naked Edge is Done  
Link here

Next up is the Tarot Collection - might take about a week.
Then back to areas + routes - most likely desert things.

These are awesome. Excited for some you have on the list.

Future thought. Would offering these in non-cotton, workout material be possible? I know nothing about the screen-printing process, but that offering would be appealing.

I agree this would be nice. Or some kind of lighter blend? Heavy cotton isn't my thing.

First 4 

First 2 of the Tarot Collection are done  

***I was promised it wasnt AI and I wrongly trusted them. I didn't check it thoroughly einher. #3 and #4 are now removed and will be done by soneone else. My apologies.***

Can be found HERE

That means next up are desert routes and the comment winner draw
I am also looking into a different garment mix - most likely it is going to be a 70/30 cotton/bamboo or poly mix so that the shirts are more breathable.
Will take a while to figure that out and add optiosn for shirt selection but it's in the making!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
