Mary Rose, founder of Salamander Caving Gear, is coming to be a
vendor at this year's AGCT and we are so excited and honored to have
such an amazing leader in caving visit our event. Mary
was born in Vancouver, WA but she moved to he
San Francisco Bay Area where she completed her BA in Clothing/Textiles
at SFSU. She has 20 years experience in fashion. The first 10 years she
was a European fashion spy and another 10 years she worked in the sports
fashion industry in Hong Kong with
brands like REI, Eddie Bauer, Land'sEnd, EMS, and NorthFace. Six years
ago she
became a caver and since then, Mary has been very active. She headed
the founding of Redwood Grotto and has been caving in the US, Slovenia,
Czeck Republic, Italy and the cenotes of the Yucatan. Her work with the
CRF
at Carlsbad Caverns, the Lava Bed National Monuments, and encouragement
of a fellow grotto member inspired her to combine forces and start
Salamander Caving Gear in Sonoma county to provide better, more durable
clothing and accessories for cavers. "We are dedicated to providing
caving clothing and accessories that really
function for cavers." she said. In fact, she is willing to take
suggestions too. The Salamander Caving Gear line
includes caving suits, knee pads,
and elbow pads and will soon include shorts and pants too.
