Extreme Sport-Personalized Mugs

Crux Mugs Make It a Little More Challenging to Take Your Next Sip

— March 1, 2013 — Lifestyle
Rock-climbing enthusiasts everywhere have found the ideal personalized mugs to test their grip when they are on solid ground.

Crux Mugs are the fine manufacturers of mugs that use a rock-climbing grip mold for the handle. For beginner climbers, it might be advised to avoid scalding-hot beverages and to drink these over a soft base. On the contrary, experts are encouraged to drink them while ascending up steep vertical climbs.

These personalized mugs are a playful and appropriate mash-up. They are ideal for more than just fans of the sport, as they are such a clever concept. The mugs come in a variety of colors and hold grip styles like epic and hangdog to suit different skill sets.
