Clay McCall roaster/Social Media After graduating from UCSC, Clay spent this last summer road-tripping with his partner Hannah Mae up the Continental Divide and back to the High Sierra, climbing, backpacking, and skating all the way. Never willing to sacrifice his dearest morning ritual, Clay woke every day to hand grind his coffee in meadows and mountain wonderlands (even for the earliest alpine-starts). Catch him biking and skating around Santa Cruz, at Pacific Edge climbing gym, or at our roasting warehouse on Mission Extension.
