_Meet the people who manage the Etsy Climbers Team!
Team Leader - Terrie Marcoe
As Captain of the team, Terrie spearheads the development of promotional efforts such as this website, the team blog, Facebook Page and other media outlets.
Calling the Gunks her home crag, and Joshua Tree her Crag away from Crag, Terrie prefers the traditional style of climbing and enjoys meeting climbers from around the world. Her constant companion is Teddy, a white Poodle-Terrier dog who seems to make friends everywhere he goes. When asked what breed he is, Terrie replies: "He's a purebred Wonderhound."(pause) "Because you wonder what he is!"
Terrie splits her time between climbing, her Etsy shop, Talisman Studios, and several other online website ventures, such as ClimbAddict Designs, where she offers climbing related graphics on t-shirts and other items, as well as hand made chalkbags of her own design.

From Jen's Etsy profile: I am always up for an adventure and love being outdoors. My passion for art only continues to grow as creator and enthusiast.

Master's degree in wildlife ecology. She has had a passion for
creativity since she was knee-high to an African Leopard and loves all
forms of art. In the past few years, her passion for sewing has

Team Leader - Rachel Jayne
A Word From Rachel: I started climbing in high school, and it goes without saying that it's one of my greatest passions. As a climber I've had the opportunity to travel around the United States visiting a lot of different places. In my travels I've been inspired by many different things, but one of my biggest influences has been Native American art.
Influenced by my step dad, who works with leather and some Native designs, I started doing some beadwork. I styled it after Native American art, but added my own flare and creativity. With some encouragement, I started my shop on Etsy, and began selling my beadwork and other accessories! Over the past 6 months, beading has become another passion of mine .

Team Leader - Betsy Cassell
From Betsy's Etsy profile: Intertwined Designs strives to produce high quality, durable clothing for men and women that are handcrafted in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner. We choose hemp for our designs because it is strong, requires minimal chemical inputs, and has a higher yield per acre than other fibers. Hemp’s ability to breathe, also makes it an ideal fiber for active clothing. All garments are pre-washed to ensure quality apparel that looks and feels great. Also, know that we stand behind the product you hold in your hands. Thank you for supporting this small business, and in turn helping our local economy to thrive. Enjoy!
