The market for yoga has got to be much bigger than climbing.

Here is their “Climber Community” section – http://www.prana.com/climber_community_landing.aspx

I know they’ve been marketing to climbers for at least 4 or 5 years. I’d probably have to dig into my Climbing / Rock & Ice archives for the exact number of years.

Their website has this to say: http://www.prana.com/ourStory.aspx

So I guess it leaves a lot to interpretation. Either way, let’s hope they keep making great climbing clothing.

And when I look at their new site and roll over the guy climbing, he does this fun scramble up the shell. Plus I can link over to the climbing community section. Pretty cool!

You just have to look at their homepage to see that, climbing doesn’t get a mention.
