Its tiny circles are filled with a lightweight, sweat-activated cooling agent that lowers the overall temperature of the fabric, accelerates the wicking process and helps your body minimize heat and maximize energy. Q.Shield Down is a giant leap forward in down performance. Individual down fibers are infused with a permanent water repellency that helps maintain insulating performance even when exposed to moisture so the down keeps you warm even when wet. mountainhardwear.com/wqe Dry Wicking Waterproof-Breathable Protection Dry Wicking Moisture Management Wick.Q EVAP is a wicking technology that provides faster, drier moisture management.

S13⁄ pr.mountainhardwear.com The Big Chill∕ No matter how strategically you’ve planned your race, your clothing, your diet, your pace, there’s one thing that can always take you down: heat. As the thermometer climbs, so does energy consumption. The more energy your body spends fighting the heat, the less it can send to your legs. Until now, your only option was to wear less clothing. 94º Max King⁄ World Mountain Running Champion Tirana, Albania September 11, 2011 102º Dakota Jones⁄ Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim Tirana, Albania April 23, 2012 105º Ellie Greenwood⁄ Winner, Western States 100 Squaw Valley, CA June 25, 2011 S13⁄ Max King, Grand Canyon ⁄ Photo: David Clifford pr.mountainhardwear.com The Journey∕ Three different climbers from three different worlds on one big trip together. We’ll follow Ethan and Angie from training and travel to competitions and celebrations. When the comps end, we’ll watch them step out of their comfort zone and travel to the kind of remote climbing environment where only Mike can take them. Angela Payne Mike Libecki Ethan Pringle Age: 28 Home: Boulder, CO Age: 39 Home: Cottonwood Heights, UT Age: 25 Home: San Francisco, CA Who you are in one sentence: I am a stubborn Midwesterner who values excellence and authenticity and is constantly striving to find the perfect balance between self, others, pride, humility, ambition and contentment. Why did you choose a career that requires so much travel? Without the friends I have made around the world, I would never have experienced the joy, the climbs, the experiences of travel that keep me striving to get on my next expedition. Specialties within your sport: Clipping draws, wrestling pebbles, thrashing cracks The accomplishment related to your sport that you’re most proud of? Climbing The Automator V13, and becoming the first woman to climb a boulder problem confirmed at that grade. Favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon: Winter: Skiing with my daughter. Spring: Hiking with my daughter and dogs. Summer: At the beach with my daughter and dogs. Fall: Mountain biking with my daughter and dogs. What advice would you give to newcomers to climbing? Be confident, don’t hesitate, stay relaxed — I think these are the building blocks to success in climbing. Also drink lots of water. S13⁄ What inspires you?
