the diary of a [newbie] rock climber

i've recently discovered the intoxication that is rock climbing. what follows is a collection of random thoughts, experiences and images related to my newbie rock climbing adventures. note: climbing is a dangerous activity. these are only my opinions and shouldn't be substituted for good sense and education. climb safely and at your own risk.

liquidation sale! mountain logos - 50% off!

when i wrote about mountain logos in "mountain logos abound," i described my initial encounter with the summit entertainment brand on tv.



there was something about that logo that seemed way too familiar. i knew i had seen it before but couldn't put my finger on its familiarity.


i can now.



one of the most popular climbing web sites, the mountain project, uses an inverted version of the same logo. the typography is similar as well. oops.


here's to original design!

mountain logos abound

i was watching the daily show and noticed a commercial for a film produced by summit entertainment. interesting mountain logo i thought.

then came, how many more of these logos can i think of?


after spending a few hours surfing my memory and the internet (i need a life ...), i put together this small sample of mountainous brands.


(go rockies!)
