Patagonia Member of the Month - One bad user...

Posted by Contests on 11/2/2006 in contests

Selecting our first Patagonia Member of the Month was no easy task. Users have been posting oodles of fab content, day after day, from insane pics and vids to laugh-out-loud stories and comments.

But while many of you were deserving of the award, like the movie Highlander, in the end there can be only one. Through all the madness being posted this month, a user you'd have to be blind to miss was the one and only Ashley Hamilton, known among the community as badash.

She captured the essence of the climbing lifestyle (and made us wonder if there's anything she's NOT trying to climb) with her enormous picture gallery, made us laugh and get psyched with her posted videos, and was always down to talk comps, her addiction to climbing, film tours, slacklining, what to eat, arm wrestling, blood, dragons, etc. ... Her enthusiastic participation in all aspects of the site were especially valuable this month, as she was a huge contributor to our highly successful Access Fund fundraiser.

Ashley will receive a $200 gift certificate to Patagonia. Congratulations, badash!

Patagonia gear is sweet -- want it to be free? Continue posting awesome content to YourClimbing.com, and next month's Highlander could be YOU!
