ART DIRECTOR David grew up along Lake Michigan, hiking its woods, climbing its dunes, and kayaking its shores, before heading westward in search of bigger playgrounds. David owns and operates Mojave Creative Lab and has spent the last decade designing for various outdoor brands and organizations, including REI, Otterbox, K•SWISS, the Professional Ski Instructors of America, and the American Alpine Club. Today, he lives in Denver with his partner, Tara, and their two dogs, where they split time at home and working from the road. David believes in the power of raw, meaningful stories; the outdoors and its wild people inspire David and his work.

The world's most significant climbs
This past year, incredible areas with unmatched climbing in southeastern Utah have faced potential threats due to proposed legislation. When we asked for your support, over 1,135 of you wrote letters to your elected officials. You shared your unique perspectives, highlighted the importance of conserving these unique lands, and helped us communicate with policymakers and partners in Washington, DC. On December 28, 2016, President Barak Obama protected the area by designating the Bears Ears National Monument. Our advocacy efforts paid off: this Monument designation is the first ever to include rock climbing in the proclamation.

These excerpts are from your letters—they remind us of the beauty and opportunity in the Bears Ears region.
