BOULDER, COLORADO — The Boulder Outdoor Specialty Group thanked Paul Gagner this week for a tenure that blended outdoor passion, business success and brand commitment.

In April 2006, Gagner took the reins of Sierra Designs, a technical leader of innovative outdoor clothing and gear, and Ultimate Direction, a manufacturer of high-performance hydration systems. Both companies were part o
f the specialty brand group of American Recreation Products, Inc.

Earlier this month, Gagner's position was eliminated as six Boulder-based brands in the group reorganized into a single cohesive entity designed to strengthen ties to each other and their customers.

"Paul's experience and passion for the outdoors as well as his proven track record of success were a boon to Sierra Designs and Ultimate Directions. We'll all miss having him as part of the team," said Kenny Ballard, president of the Boulder Outdoor Specialty Group.

A passionate outdoor industry advocate for over 25 years and an active climber for more than 30 years, Gagner’s unique background combines a successful business career with an active outdoor lifestyle.

During his tenure in Boulder, Gagner’s brands focused the creation of core, authentic and technical products that met or exceeded the needs of specialty retailers and consumers. Gagner was additionally committed to identifying and delivering new and meaningful technologies and innovations.

Based in the quintessential environment for outdoor innovation, the Boulder Outdoor Specialty Group includes Kelty, Kelty K.I.D.S., Sierra Designs, Ultimate Direction, Slumberjack and Wenger.

Carbondale, Colorado – "Sometimes I think 5.10 is the greatest grade of all—it always keeps me on my toes," writes executive editor Alison Osius in the Editor’s Note of the latest installment of Rock and Ice, the Everyman’s Issue.

Hitting newsstands everywhere, the Everyman's Issue is not just an ode to the experience of climbing as most know it, but the first issue of 2009, which ma
rks the 25th year of Rock and Ice magazine, the only publication owned and operated by climbers. To celebrate its silver year, Rock and Ice has revamped its award-winning product with a new design, even more stunning climbing photos, and steered editorial content toward the everyman.

"Climbers have always said they want articles covering climbs they can do and areas that they can easily visit," says Duane Raleigh, publisher and editor in chief." We listened. We're taking the opportunity to celebrate our 25th Anniversary by giving back to the community that has made us the longest running climbing publisher, and the only one that shares our sport's core values."

Other issues on deck for 2009 include an inside look at climbing's best jobs, perennial favorites such as the Photo and Health Issues, and the top budget travel destinations in the U.S. The party will culminate with "The Silver Issue, 25 Years of Rock and Ice," timed to be released at next summer's trade show.

Published nine times a year, Rock and Ice is renown for stunning images from the world’s most renowned climbing photographers such as Keith Ladzinski, Boone Speed, Nathan Smith, Cory Rich, and David Clifford—and the well-loved voices of writers such as John Long, Geof Childs, David Pagel, Doug Robinson and Julian Saunders.

"Getting Rock and Ice in my mailbox always gets me psyched," says Ladzinski. "The high-quality photos and the magazine format makes the images jump off the page. It's my magazine of choice."

Joshua Tree, Calif. – After enjoying a successful inaugural year with more than 700 participants at five events, UClimb, a series of rock climbing events designed to introduce the sport of rock climbing to beginners, will kick-off its 2009 schedule with a weekend session in Joshua Tree, Calif. on Feb. 7 and 8, 2009. Sponsored by Mountain Gear, the all-aged event is dedicated to bring people close r to the outdoors by teaching rock climbing in comfortable small-group settings.

"UClimb is dedicated to not only getting new rock climbers involved in the sport, but also getting people enthusiastic about outdoor activity," said Phil Bridgers, UClimb event coordinator. "UClimb events are beginning to be known as the places to go to learn the sport in a fun and comfortable environment. Because of this, more people are venturing to the outdoors and enjoying their natural surroundings."

All UClimb events include professional climbing instruction and hands-on experience, camping for Friday and Saturday, dinner on Saturday and a Sunday breakfast. Attendees will learn climbing techniques, how to use climbing gear, voice commands, knot tying, belaying and etiquette.

Registration for the weekend event begins at $159 for youth ages 10-17 and $199 for adults. Registration includes professional climbing instruction, camping at Joshua Tree Lake Campground, a barbeque on Saturday and a pancake breakfast on Sunday. Registration is available at www.uclimb.org

UClimb will also offer packages with basic climbing gear needed for the weekend including shoes, harness, belay device, helmet, locking carabineer and a chalk bag. Gear packages are $289 for youth ages 10-17 and $329 for adults. Individuals can also register for event festivities without the climbing instruction for $49. Children under 10 are not eligible for the professional climbing instruction but can attend for festivities at no cost.
