Another Great Leader to Attend 2015 AGCT

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.

She is believed to occupy a cave located on the face of Dane Hills. Legend states that she used her cave to hide from the sun, which is believed could turn her to stone. Her cave led to a tunnel that ran all the way to Leicester Castle where she is alleged to linger in the form of a ghost. In the woods she preys on children and brings them back at her cave to drink their blood and eat their flesh. Then, she hangs their skins to dry on the branches of the oak tree outside the cave entrance until she could sew the dried skins together to use as clothes and decorate the interior of her cave. 1 2 ...
