Meet Beau Belger at Moosejaw on the Plaza

February 17, 2016 by Jason Clements

I have always maintained that buying gear from your friend’s shops makes it a more enjoyable experience. Add that degree of trust, and you walk out of the store feeling like you just made a purchase of a lifetime! So, let’s make some friends: Meet Beau Belger.

Beau is one of the managers at Moosejaw on the Plaza where he works with Gracey Cockram.

When you meet Beau, ask him about how in the world he enjoys the cold weather!

Ladies and Gentlemen: Meet Beau Belger.

Beau: My favorite outdoor activity is Outdooring, which I define as the act of being out of doors. I am a big fan of pretty much anything I can do in the great outdoors.

HCRB: What is your go-to drink in the winter? …after a workout? …when relaxing?

Beau: My favorite drink, honestly this answer holds true for all three: Coffee.

HCRB: Best book you’ve read in the last year? …best movie?

Beau: The best book I read was The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. I’d say the best movie I saw this year was the Revenant

HCRB: One place you want to travel to, that you haven’t yet? …why?

Beau: I am in the process of formulating a plan to fly into Santiago Chile buy a bike and take 6 months riding through the Andes and some wonderful wine country. Make my way down to Patagonia climb my little heart out find a way onto a fishing vessel that would take me around the Tierra del Fuego archipelago and work my way up the Argentine coast to Buenos Aries.

I think the only “why” question i need to answer here would be why haven’t I done it yet, which I can only answer by saying; school.

HCRB: Alright, Beau, why should we stop into Moosejaw to meet you? [Read more…] about Meet Beau Belger at Moosejaw on the Plaza

The Best Selling Climbing Gear With HCRBeta Readers

October 7, 2015 by Jason Clements

I did some analysis of the Best Selling Climbing Gear with HCRBeta readers for this last year.

It is interesting that four of the top six sellers are not classical climbing gear items! They are, in fact, items associated with pain relief.

Not surprisingly, the number one seller is the Aylio Exercise Bands. With the Voodoo Flossing articles garnering the most traffic in the last few months, it appears that most climbers are looking for a solution for finger injuries.

So, I’ll repeat right here:

Special Note: If you are really injured, heard something pop, or your finger looks weird; go see your doctor.

Crash Pads: Josh Helke Builds Quality Climbing Gear

October 2, 2013 by Jason Clements

If you are a climber, you have probably seen (or fallen on) an Organic Bouldering Mat. The unique designs and bright colors make an Organic pad easy to spot. What you may not know is that Josh Helke runs a sustainable business that is worthy of your attention.

Here is a 4-minute overview of how the Organic Climbing Crashpad is made.

And if you are ready for an interview with Josh Helke, owner of Organic Climbing, read on…

HCRB: What are 4 things that anyone can do right now to be a better recycler?

Josh: 1, Be smart about the gear you choose. Purchase stuff that is made to last. In the long run, buying quality is cheaper. Quality gear lasts longer – so it is better for your pocket book and the planet. 2, Own a reusable water bottle. Even if they can be recycled, plastic bottles from water and soft drinks are an incredible waste of energy and resources. 3. Buy used and donate when you are done. Others will carry on the use-cycle. 4. Repair your electronics and use them as long as you can. Recycle them when they can’t be repaired.

HCRB: We talked back in 2009 when you were in Wyoming. Where are you now?

Josh: We relocated 3 years ago to Central PA as my wife took a job at Penn State in the Geology department. Additionally, the deep-rooted textile history, and the talent in the surrounding mountains was a natural fit for the made-in-USA nature of our company.

HCRB: What sustainable practices are you embracing now in the manufacturing of Organic Climbing Mats?

Josh: We recycle all of our cutting scraps into every product that we make. These are what become the one-of-a-kind multi-color designs people have come to know over the last 10 years as ORGANIC products. We also use made-in-the-USA fabrics manufactured within a few hundred miles of our factory. And because all our products are made in the USA, our manufacturing footprint is substantially smaller than that of the larger companies making their sewn goods in Asia.

HCRB: What are you doing differently in your personal life now to be friendlier to our planet? Continue Reading
