Ladies and Gentlemen, Will Reynolds Young:

HCRB:  What is the last good book you read?

Will Reynolds Young:  The Body in Pain by Elaine Scarry

HCRB:  What was your favorite breakfast cereal when you were a kid?

Will Reynolds Young:  Cinnamon Toast Crunch – I’m a sucker for sugar.

HCRB:  Last place you were when you said, “WOW, that is a beautiful sunset!”

Will Reynolds Young SunsetWill Reynolds Young:  Anyone who’s spent a day with me knows I am a sucker for sunsets. It amazes me that no two sunsets are the same. Recently, a time comes to mind where I was driving to downtown Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is unique because it has the Fort Pitt Tunnels as sort of an entrance to the city. You drive through the tunnels and all of a sudden there’s the city. I happen to be doing this at the perfect time.

HCRB:  What was the last thing you googled?

Will Reynolds Young:  Blue Mountain Ski Resort.

HCRB:  What is something that you are an expert at, that few people know?

Will Reynolds Young:  Public Speaking. Don’t get me wrong, I get nervous, but somehow I just have a tendency to rock it. Here’s a session I did at Podcamp Pittsburgh in 2013 entitled Small Business Social Media Toolkit.

HCRB:  You an Apple or Android guy? Why?

Will Reynolds Young:  Apple. I have an iPhone, Apple TV, and a Macbook. I bleed Apple. I love the beauty of the devices and how well they are built, not to mention the OS is just fantastic. That being said, I love technology. In the last year, I’ve had a Nexus 5X and a Samsung Galaxy S6.

HCRB:  Would you rather climb Everest or submarine the Marianas Trench?

Will Reynolds Young:  Climb Everest, no question.

Since 1996, Polly has created food grade skin care products before organic and all natural was the cool thing to do. Often times we hear about natural products that really aren’t natural at all. Propylene glycol is considered a natural ingredient.

We take natural to a whole new level with food grade, pure products. This means no fillers, parabens, perfumes. We have been really lucky and honored to grow by word of mouth. We have no sales team and I am the only one who does marketing on a regular basis.

To this day we still hand pour all of our products in our own Wimberley, Texas warehouse, production, and offices. Here’s some highlights about our company with some links to educational blog posts on the topic.

Project Ascent Helping Youth Experience Self-Worth, Accomplishment, Drive and Independence

Project Ascent Helping Youth Build Confidence Through Rock ClimbingProject Ascent Helping Youth Experience Self-Worth, Accomplishment, Drive and Independence

This is a guest post written by Scottie Mcelroy, the founder of Project Ascent

What Is Project Ascent?

Project Ascent was established to give at-risk and under-privileged youth an opportunity to experience nature through Rock Climbing.  Rock Climbing is a unique sport in which individuals are put in a new environment without preconceived expectations on performance or success. Rock Climbing not only involves physical strength, but also mental fortitude.  Rock Climbing facilitates problem solving and allows participants to fail and succeed in a controlled environment thus promoting adaptation. Communication between climbers plays instrumentally in the success or failure of a climbing expedition.

Why Project Ascent?

When I began climbing, I quickly realized the impact it made on my mental and physical life.  I thought, “If I am gaining such incredible awareness and strength, what could climbing give to children who haven’t had the same opportunities that I have?”

An experience with Project Ascent will give children an immeasurable amount of self-worth, accomplishment, drive, and independence.Project Ascent Helping Youth Get Outside

I have worked extensively with at-risk Project Ascent a Better Future For Our Youthyouth.  I worked with a young man in Austin, TX to get him into the program because conventional sports like basketball and football were not for him.  He longed for an opportunity to find something he excelled in and enjoyed.

We met Josh through a school outreach program that worked with area counselors to find youth that would potentially be candidates for our programs. Josh did not have an ideal home-life and his education and bad decisions were sending him down the wrong path.

Josh and several other children from the same school were accepted to attend one of our adventures. From the start I could see this is what Josh not only needed, but also what he wanted. He naturally excelled at the art of climbing.  More importantly, he started engaging with his peers and the Project Ascent volunteers.

Building trust, confidence, and self-worth are a focus on Project Ascent trips.

After the trip, Josh reached out to me asking if there were additional trips he could attend. [Read more…] about Project Ascent Helping Youth Experience Self-Worth, Accomplishment, Drive and Independence

GSI Outdoor JavaPress 30 Review

by

GSI Outdoor JavaPress 30I am a coffee drinker and I prefer french press coffee.  I have now become a fan of the GSI Outdoor JavaPress.  This little french press makes excellent coffee.

If you love to drink coffee on your climbing, camping, or hiking adventures; I highly recommend purchasing the GSI Outdoor JavaPress.  I have the 30 ouncer.  GSI make a 50 ouncer – for those of you who LOVE coffee.  And they also make a 20 ouncer with a cool little cup that comes as a package deal.

This is What I like about the GSI Outdoor JavaPress 30

  • Flawless Functionality
  • Won’t break
  • Travels Easily
  • Coffee In Any Season Outside and at Home – (and will probably last for years)

GSI Outdoor JavaPress for Rock Climbing TripsYou already know that the very best smells that you can smell in the morning, while you are camping, are bacon smells and coffee smells.  And there are few things better than sipping a hot cup of coffee on a brisk outdoor morning.

In the past, I have skipped bringing my french press on climbing trips because I used the Bodum French Press — it is glass.  I have broken 2 Bodum French presses in my house – with regular use.  One was broken in the sink during washing.  The other tipped over (empty) and the glass broke.

It’s sure to satisfy your hunger on or off the trail.

8 Skin Care Tips For Rock Climbers And Boulderers

by

8 Skin Care Tips for Rock Climbers and BoulderersDo you love feeling on the tips of your fingers after a weekend of climbing.  Do you love feeling your callouses thickening up?  Have you thought about what is the best skin care for rock climbers and boulderers?  Many climbers know by now that the best skin care comes from your diet, a solid salve, and good self-care practices.

Here are 8 skin care tips for rock climbers and boulderers.

  1. Never Pull A Flapper or a Hangnail
  2. Never Wash Dishes or Soak in Epsom Salt Before You Climb
  3. Consider Increasing Your Consumption of Omega-3 Foods
  4. Consider Increasing Your Consumption of Coconut Oil
  5. Have A Brick, Cinder Block, Or Chunk of Rock as Part of Your Workout Gear
  6. Use an Emory Board or Sheet of Sandpaper to Keep Your Callouses Healthy
  7. Use Salve Specifically Created for Rock Climbers
  8. Stop Doing Dynos and Try That Move Statically

Never Pull A Flapper or a HangnailRock Climber Tools for Skin Care

Whether those were pieces of flappers or hangnails, the worst thing you can do is pull (or chew – blech!  Disgusting!) at those bits of flesh on your hands and fingers.

The best thing you can do for your small injuries – like flappers and hangnails – is to always carry a nail clipper or tiny scissors in your climbing pack.  Take a moment to carefully trim the dead or torn flesh away.  If you are done climbing for the day, care for your injuries as you normally would (wash, healing salve, bandage).  Or, just tape it up and keep climbing!

How many times have you pulled a bit of your flesh only to have it pull right further into undamaged tissue.  Oh, that sting!  And the first thing you think is, “I SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT!” [Read more…] about 8 Skin Care Tips For Rock Climbers And Boulderers
