Rockhopper Mountaineering

Rockhopper Mountaineering Fabricator of mountaineering soft-goods. Rockhopper Mountaineering produces a line of function-driven/designed climbing soft-goods.

Plato's statement "necessity is the mother of invention" explains, or better put... Is the reason for RhM's existence. Over the course of several decades, we have fretted over, fiddled with, and altered (in some cases, literally torn apart) nearly every piece of soft-goods gear we've owned in the quest of addressing specific needs. It's not that we're prone to destructive behavior or rebellious by nature, but rather driven by a desire to solve "functional needs". Okay, there are the occasional "wants" that come into play as well; the yin-yang component. This process was the genesis of many RhM's evolutionary design ideas which over time led to proprietary creations... which are demonstrated in the product line.

[ Watch for the roll-out the RhM product line.]

"Salt Lake City Ponies Up 1.5M"

What the county failed to do, the city leads the way and pushes the deadline on saving Bonanza Flats into mid-June. Mayor Biskupski & the SLC council are to be praised for their forward thinking backed by positive action. Tkx.

Salt Lake County FAILS.

RhM attended the Council meeting and witnessed the over-whelming support to have the County help pay for Bonanza Flats.

Saddly that did NOT happen. After all the reasoning & arguements, one statement by Mayor Ben McAdams rang clear when he spoke of the impact the proposed development would have on the watershed, and suggested there would be "big headaches in the long run" with the inevitable pressure to keep Guardsman Pass open (associated cost of winter plowing), and the increased traffic in BCC. Over time, these expenses could dwarf the current outlay needed to save the Flats.

Short sighted at best; failed stewardship at worst. Sad day for the current residents of the Wasatch, and future generations to come.

OpEd : : We Don't Need No Education.

What attracted RhM to this article was the learning curve of these two Vermont brothers in a non-tradional approach---freed from a "compulsory watch-the-clock-until-the-bell-rings" kind setting.

RhM isn't advocating home schooling here, but rather getting active in your children's curriculum, and schooling them in the out of doors & wilderness on your own. It's well documented the benefits of wildness.

The rock savant and business man was an early evangelist for the clean climbing revolution, and one of the greatest climbers of Yosemite’s golden years.

In 1957 he put up the first grade VI climb in America, the Northwest Face of Half Dome. His competitive drive was the impetus for Yosemite ’s Golden Age, a period of such progress that it may never be matched. Robbins’ laundry list of firsts stretches around the globe, but most remarkable is the Salathé Wall in 1961. A serpentine, natural line that he, Tom Frost and Chuck Pratt pioneered in semi-alpine style with just 13 bolts – a hole count that remains El Cap’s lowest.
