  • Bio:

    My name is Erin and I am originally from Atlanta, GA and I somehow found myself in Seattle, Washington. It wasn’t part of the plan but hell what’s the point of a plan? Life, after all, is about the journey and the adventures you have along the way. One of the best decisions I ever made was coming out to the Pacific NW!

    I absolutely LOVE the outdoors and any type of adventure I can find!

    Activities: Mountaineering, sport and trad rock climbing, in-bounds skiing, backcountry skiing, mountain and road biking, kayaking, hiking, backpacking, and camping.

Metolius Super 7 Hold Set

August 20, 2008

First off, I think it's awesome that you're buliding a fort for them AND want to put a mini climbing wall on it! Rock on!

I would stay away from the green holds on this page because they don't have a lot of gripping surface for kids. You'll want to get holds that have big jugs or places for them to sink their fingers into so they can hang on to the holds/wall.

There are several sets that look like they might be good:

awesome jacket!

Arc'teryx Sigma AR Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 1, 2008

I have been eyeing this jacket for quite a while and finally got it. It's everything I hoped for and more. It's definitely warmer than my other softshell I own. If you're expecting this to be good for standalone winter wear you're wrong. I wear it daily by itself for short distance walking or taking the bus but if you're standing outside for an extended period of time and it's about 40 degrees, you're going to be cold. My boyfriend has the mens version and wears it under a shell to ski in and loves it too!
