  Climbing Clip of the Week: One of Our Own!! Hello and here's hoping that your belly is stuffed full with all of yesterday's goodies. Hopefully you had an amazing Thanksgiving, and that you don't have to go ANYWHERE to work this fine "Black Friday!" For your viewing pleasure and so you don't have to strain yourself with any reading in the haze of all that turkey, we have an awesome, and somewhat "personal" Climbing Clip of the Week this Friday!

That's right, this week we have a former Mission Cliffs climber, Kevin St. Laurent, doing a first ascent of a V2 Boulder problem in Tintamarre Point. This little video was shot while he was sailing the Caribbean last year. Wow, could we be any more jealous right now?!

Without further ado, enjoy this beauty:

  Happy Thanksgiving From Touchstone Climbing!

So, from all of us at Touchstone Climbing, thank YOU for, well, You. Without you, without our members and our fans, our exercisers and our team racers, our climbers, bikers, yoga'ers, and fitness guru's, we wouldn't be what we are. So, sincerely, thank You.

Have an amazing and very Happy Thanksgiving! Go eat a little extra pie, a little extra turkey, spend time with your loved ones and give thanks to all that and all those you want to thank this year!

  Need a Rock Guide? Look No Further!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving my friends, and I don't know about you but I am more than ready to absolutely eat until I can not eat any more. It's the season and the Holiday to give thanks and to stuff ourselves silly after all, right? Speaking of giving, we just wanted to give everyone out there a quick heads up about something everyone should know about. Basically, if you want a rock guide, we have just the man for you.

That's right, here's a little blurb we got our hands on from one of our very own. Seriously, if you need a rock guide, look no further. Check it out:

If you are looking for a rock guide, look no further than Touchstone staffer, Steve Schneider. Steve just recently passed his rock guide exam, and is now a fully certified rock guide with the AMGA(American Mountain Guides Association). This is the highest level of certification that the AMGA offers on rock. His professionalism, experience, and certification are balanced by his witty, blonde humour. Steve also just completed his 100th ascent of El Capitan, just the third person to do so behind Steve Gerberding(108), and Hans Florine(130ish). Contact Steve via his website: blondeambitionguiding.com

There you have it. If you're in need, we've got you covered. Check him out, hit the mountains and know you're in safe and very capable hands!
