Bryce is a dedicated rock climber from Denver with a passion for product design and 3d printing. He and his childhood friend developed Rocky Talkies, rugged adventure radios, after repeatedly witnessing dangerous miscommunications while climbing.
Â
The Rocky Talkie lightweight radio was designed for outdoor enthusiasts that want to push their limits while mitigating the risks within their control. The radios easily secure to backpacks & harnesses and include a backup leash for extreme terrain. With a shatterproof screen and four-day battery life, they are made to last.
Â
The Rocky Talkie team believes there are plenty of risks in the wild and communication shouldn't be one of them.

Prize money will be spent on supporting an after-school tutoring program at Manual, refining the school's current restorative practices program by training three students to be restorative champions and supporting teachers at Manual connect to one another in order to feel truly supported by their colleagues.
