It’s National Reconciliation Week and we want to take a moment to champion a couple of young First Nations crushers and K2 ambassadors.

In case you haven’t seen these athletes around, Orielle, who hails from the Bidjara and Dhunghutti mob, just won the Youth U19 Lead Nationals and is set to represent Australia at Youth Worlds in Arco in July. Kyle is a Torres Strait Islander man from Saibi Island and the Samu Clan/Moiety and has been a regular podium feature in local, state and national competitions across the country and abroad.

Kyle shared with us his thoughts on Reconciliation Week - "Reconciliation Week is a time to reflect on the history between First Nations people and the wider Australian community. As a 19-year-old Torres Strait Islander man, it reminds me to stay proud of who I am and where my family comes from. To me, reconciliation is about respect, truth, understanding, and making sure our voices are heard. It’s also building a better future where our culture, history, and people are valued and respected by everyone."

We’re proud to support Orielle and Kyle on their climbing journey and to watch on in awe at every competition they enter. Keep your eye on these two!

Mat Young pulled on a pair of prAna a Stretch Zion Top-Out pants for a Summer of climbing in Tassie, begrudgingly replacing a ripped pair of much-loved pants.

“I had a day out on Rock-a-day-Johnny at Ben Lomond in mid-March that summed it up pretty well. Six pitches up a spur of dolerite columns, alpine in character and adventurous, with varied climbing such that you end up stemming, chimneying and generally using whatever movement works to get up it. It’s the sort of climbing that exposes weak points in gear pretty quickly.

Somewhere around the fourth pitch, I realised I hadn’t adjusted the waistband once. No hitching them up under the harness, no restriction high stepping, no catching on anything. They’d just… disappeared.”

“The Prodigio Pro could be worn by a pro athlete, but also by somebody who just wants a good race day shoe at a good price point. Plus, it’s a race day shoe you can train in – I’ve trained in mine a lot... Then the Prodigio Max would be your work horse, day in and day out.”

Local ultrarunner Jodie Tully sat down with us recently to unpack the differences between the La Sportivia Prodigio Pro and Prodigio Max.
