THE STORY BEHIND OUR T-SHIRTS

When Gym Jones was started there were no tchotchkes (or chotchkes if you prefer). Eventually we printed t-shirts bearing the Gym Jones logo and gave them to those who earned them. These t-shirts will never be sold.

THE STANDARD IS NOT FOR SALE

When we initiated the Salvation club we produced t-shirts to deliver with each membership, which signify involvement at a deeper level. Joining the Salvation club is the only way to receive one of these. Art is on the front. Also available in women’s, fitted size.

Note: We use American or Alternative Apparel 100% cotton t-shirts and run slightly small.

Please allow 2-4 weeks for shipping

Finally, due to demand, the fact that it makes economic sense, and that our business coach wore me down we are making a t-shirt available to everyone. Wearing it in public will require some commitment. Not all viewers will appreciate the slogan on the back of the shirt, which reads, "There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle." Some readers will be offended, while others will merely scratch their ignorant heads. As with our other shirts The Dude, aka Big Jim is printed on the front. Also available in women’s, fitted size.

For most of us at Gym Jones there is a soundtrack to everything. Back when I was climbing hard, and usually alone music was climbing partner. On one particularly eye-opening route in the Alps the right song probably saved my life. After hearing that story a friend reminded me that "when the going gets tough the tough turn up the volume" and it became a personal mantra. The saying stuck for 25 years, and struck a chord with others so we put it on a shirt. As with our other shirts The Dude, aka Big Jim is printed on the front. Also available in women's, fitted size.

Commenting on a disappointing performance at the 2010 World Championships Mark Cavendish said, "It takes balls to rest and do nothing and I didn't have the balls." The hard work is easy, but it takes courage to rest. In an era when everyone thinks that more and harder is better few are brave enough to step back, to tell friends, "I'm taking it easy today." I can hear the jibes from here. But one of my maxims is, "when in doubt, rest" and I admonish with it frequently. Perhaps the reminder on this t-shirt will help remember. Work + Rest = Training, Don't Do The Work If You Don't Have The Balls To Rest. As with our other shirts The Dude, aka Big Jim is printed on the front. Also available in women's, fitted size.

During the last two years on the Salvation site we have discussed the progression or process of change. I began signing books with "Revolution, Resolution, and finally, Evolution." I meant that, after recognizing a problem, we must first revolt against old habits, sustain the fight with hard resolve, and finally, after years of practice, perhaps we can evolve into better individuals. An equation seemed a clear way to express the concept: Revolution + Resolution (divided by) Execution = Evolution. As with our other shirts The Dude, aka Big Jim is printed on the front. Also available in women's, fitted size.

KISS OR KILL BY MARK TWIGHT

Kiss or Kill features a collection of writing produced between 1985 and 2000. All of the work was previously published. However, these are Author's Cuts, not the homogenized fluff offered up by specialty climbing magazine editors who are often unwilling to offend subscribers and advertisers. Some material was only released in France, Italy, Canada or England. All essays were rewritten and appended with a Year 2000 perspective; describing inspiration, events that followed, and lessons learned (or not learned, some might say).

While mountain climbing is the central theme, climbing itself mirrors many other experiences: there are successes, failures, and a learning curve paralleled by a process of becoming. Kiss or Kill is a memoir documenting the journey toward maturity as a climber and consequently, as a human being. The lessons are universal.

This is the fourth printing of the softcover edition, 208 pages. Each copy is signed and/or dedicated by the author.
