Yvon Chouinard: Patagonia’s Unlikely Business Guru

Posted May 29, 2012 at 7:14 am · Comments { 4 } ·

Cool article in the Wall Street Journal about Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard:

The evolution of Patagonia into a clothing company began in the 1970s, when Chouinard—then a world-class mountain climber and a designer of mountaineering equipment—started importing durable rugby shirts and corduroy knickers for his climber pals to wear. Soon enough, Patagonia was designing its own line of clothes. Soon after that, sales of the clothes far outstripped sales of the climbing gear. This is how Yvon Chouinard became an accidental apparel mogul.

The North Face catches up with their athlete Alex Honnold to find out a bit more about his and Tommy Caldwell’s big day in Yosemite, his plans to rope solo the same feat for his segment in the Reel Rock Tour and a casual mention of how he free soloed the West Face of El Cap.  As to how the idea for the triple link-up came about:

You do one route and you have a lot of time left in the day and you think, “Oh maybe we should have done two.” And eventually you do two with time left over and you say, “maybe we could do three…” and we did three and we didn’t have any time left over so we said, “we’re over it.

Regular Dude Climbs Just Do It (5.14c)

Posted May 22, 2012 at 7:21 am · Comments { 4 } · Photo: Ryan Palo on Just Do It

To borrow a phrase from the fine folks over at Rock & Ice, Ryan Palo is a pretty regular dude.  He works for a living, he climbs, he gets injured, he recovers and he climbs some more.  It’s just that when he climbs, he tends to climb 5.14.  Not very regular dude of him.  It […]
