ClimbAddict's Happiegrrrl Hits the Road

Happiegrrrl, the person behind ClimbAddict, is taking the winter off! She's quit the cold of the northeast, bought one hell of a junker of a van, and headed west.

Keep an eye on how things go through her blog, Happiegrrrl Climbing and also by following ClimbAddict on Twitter.
