I want a woody in my garage

RRG climber in Stone Nudes

I was flipping through my new Stone Nudes calendar and got a bit of a shock. Does anybody think July looks eerily familiar?

Gear Storage

Hi all. Long time, no see. I know it's tacky to show up and ask a question, but here goes. We moved into a smaller house and my camping/climbing gear is taking up most of my new office.
