So I just got back from Switzerland. I was there for the MAMMUT global sales meeting. I’m the Southeastern Sales Representative for MAMMUT North America. I’m very blessed to have such a job. I work with a leader in climbing equipment. I’m honored to be a part of such a great company full of innovation and rich in history (MAMMUT is the oldest climbing rope manufacturer in the world!) I thank The Big Guy upstairs as often as I can remember too for where I am in my life right now. 

MAMMUT announced officially June 6, 2008 that it has some Big News. Please visit www.mammut.ch/bignews to see for yourself. 

As Raichle celebrates its 100^th year MAMMUT will also celebrate its 150^th year! It’s an exciting time in MAMMUT’s history. The history of the brand here in the United States is very young. I hear from my friends “Lee there are mastodons everywhere now!” Indeed we have made an impact on the US climbing market. MAMMUT is “Absolute Alpine” and it’s a mountain lifestyle brand making equipment and apparel for you and me. So when did the Mastodon land on this side of the Pond? It was 8 short years ago that MAMMUT teamed up with Climb High (an importer/distributor based out of Vermont specializing in European climbing products). Since then my North American Team has been doing everything we can to bring the best of MAMMUT products to you. We come from all sorts of mountain lifestyle backgrounds: climbers, skiers, boarders, guides, mountaineers, paddlers, bikers, hikers, etc, you get my point. Oh, but now there’s the newest members of the family now………urban climbers………
