Christmas Gift Ideas For Rock Climbers, 2013

The holidays are approaching and whether we boulder, tie in on toprope at the gym, enjoy leading on gear, go for it all on bolted routes, scare ourselves silly high stepping in etriers, pick away at the ice, or find ourselves embracing survival on mountain walkabouts, there's one thing we climbers all have in common this time of year - the elusive search for the perfect...NO, NOT the PERFECT LINE!... the right gift for someone close to us.

 Whether that's our climbing partner, significant other, friend from work who is addicted to climbing, Secret Santa Gift Exchange at the local rock climbing wall, or even ourselves, the search for climbing-related gift ideas and presents for our climbing friends can be daunting.  

At ClimbAddict Designs, we have a wide variety of choices available in graphic design-based climbers t-shirts, stickers, travel mugs and more, and also our well-respected, hand-finished  chalkbags. However, Happiegrrrl also has connections due to being Captain of the Etsy Climbers Team, and so she's gone on a visual shopping spree and selected an array of items - made by climbers and for climbers - for your perusal. 

 Click through to the links to get more information on each item, and don't worry if the piece has been sold - simply click through to the seller's shop Home and see what else they have in store to satisfy your holiday gift shopping desires.
