Betamonkeys

Betamonkeys cartoons are a phenomenon. Catching the zeitgeist of modern climbing, and mirroring to a T

the fears and obsessions of us all; Ed’s cartoons manage to be zany, pithy and hilarious all at the same time.

Rock Rags is the exclusive home of Betamonkeys cartoons.

Chalk Series

The most underrated tool in the climber’s armoury?

Chalk , once reviled, is an essential part of climbing.

Dip, dab, tick this, mark that, chalk, blow, go: where would we be without this most addictive of white powders?

In order to retain the colourful, cartoon feel of Betamonkeys work we have ignored convention (and most printers advice) by printing the cartoons as close to their original format as possible. Determined to do justice to the quality of Ed’s work, and to create outstanding T-shirts, we have chosen to use (very expensive) six and eight colour prints. Because, more than simply making a T shirt, our ideal is to create something to treasure, a design that you’ll want to wear time and again. Something sustainable, a shirt to climb in until it falls off your back, your own ‘rock rag’!

Not beholden to shops or seasons, and with Ed’s brilliant back-catalogue to plunder, we’ll regularly publish new prints to refresh our range. Under Rock Rags our intention is to champion work by climbing artists, people with a fresh view on our sport. So our designs won’t be around forever; we’ll print specials, ‘one offs’, the things that we like. And as we print we’ll price according to cost: if we pay more we’ll charge more! So keep in touch, and get them while they’re hot, because once they’re gone they’re gone!

Richie Patterson - Founder of Rock Rags

Ed O’Grady - Genius behind Betamonkeys

A climbing ‘lifer’, and well-known on the UK scene, Richie was until recently the marketing manager of Wild Country. However, a recent ‘lightbulb moment’ meant ‘early retirement’ to pursue new challenges. “Gestating for far too long, Rock Rags came to life when I found myself laughing very hard at one of Ed’s drawings. It was obvious to me there was a gap in the market for these superb cartoons. This inspired me to quit my 9 to 5, start production and take the chance that my fellow climbers have the same sense of humour I do.”

A long time climber, as well as inveterate people watcher, Ed’s ability to capture the minutae of this climbing life is what sets him apart. “After many years absence, I got back into climbing with my son and remembered just how much I had missed it. And maybe it was the fact of starting over but I became inspired to record, in the best way I know, my take on the trials and tribulations of being a climber.”
