You prefer a sleeping bag to an actual bed. Your "gear-age" has ousted your car to the driveway. A weekend spent indoors is a waste of two good days. There is no greater feeling than fresh powder, crystalline granite, or a rough-hewn trail. For you, there is no such thing as "off-season." |

Every week, you count down the minutes until you can crush at the crag. Your closet floor is littered with shoes of three categories: climbing, approach, and hiking. Your favorite accessory is a sticker-covered 32 ounce Nalgene bottle. Your perfect getaway is a solo excursion along the John Muir trail or up the face of Half Dome. You’ve logged almost as many miles hiking as your car has driving. Who are you? You’re up with the sun because it’s the best time for everything you love to do: hike, bike, climb, surf, whatever. Nothing energizes you better than a brand new day. You want to get up close and personal with the latest and greatest in outdoor gear to jump-start a career in the industry. You don’t mind dealing with boxes all day as long as your coworkers are awesome to be around. Sound about right? We get it--that's why we're all here--and if this resonated, then you should definitely join us here at the Coop. |
