Onwardup

This coming weekend I'll be spending the weekend with Rob Owens of Onwardup, a retail rep company for Patagonia, Petzl, and GSI among others. Really stoked for it. Not only do I get three days of Ice climbing, all expenses paid, but its put on buy companies that are actively searching out and improving ethical standards in production. Patagonia is really changing the industry, taking legal action to ensure they put social and ethical standards ahead of economical gain. And Petzl, a brand that has chosen to continue to support the original communities it began in,  and the small amount of outsourcing it has done with great social, and environmental responsibility.
