This spring I met Emily Harrington. "Why the heck do I care," you say. Well, that's a good question. I'll give you six (alphabetized) reasons you should care: A. She's a rock climber. That's legit, and I guarantee she can do more pull-ups then Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger. B. She's a national champion in rock climbing, which is likely more than can be said for you or me. C. She gets paid to climb. She's sponsored by The North Face (among others) and just got back from an all expenses paid, exploratory trip to China. D. She graduated magna cum laude in three years from the University of Colorado. E. She's prepping for the North American Continental Climbing Championships, which take place in Montreal in December. F. She's only 22 and is super nice. If you're not convinced by now, I don't know what to tell you. Other than this: check out brass' online exclusive of Emily for the full scoop. --Jens
