Geared out
/ɡɪəd aʊt/
The hollow half-second you reach for one more gear going uphill, and realise there isn't one left.
"I was completely geared out by the top of Ditchling Beacon."

So we're naming them. Earn Your Pint is a growing dictionary of the feelings the outdoors gives you, etched on the pint glass you raise at the bottom of the hill, printed on tees and walls, and drawn into prints of the routes that earned them.
Earn the hill. Earn the view. Earn your pint.
What we make
The coined words etched on the glass you raise at the bottom of the hill. The truest place for the word is the thing you've earned.

You've felt these. Now they've got names.
/ɡɪəd aʊt/
The hollow half-second you reach for one more gear going uphill, and realise there isn't one left.
"I was completely geared out by the top of Ditchling Beacon."
/ˈɡrani:d/
Already in the granny gear, spinning for your life, and the road is still tilting up.
"Two miles in and I was fully granny'd."
/ðə paɪnt maɪl/
The final stretch where your legs are entirely gone but the pub at the end is entirely real.
"Nothing left but the Pint Mile."
The Idea
Earn Your Pint started with one un-named feeling: that moment you hope there's one more gear left going uphill, reach for it, and realise you're already in the easiest one. There's no word for that. There's no word for half of what the outdoors does to you, so we make them, and we make the glasses, tees and prints to go with them.
The whole story →New words, glass drops and early-access prints. No spam, no filler, just the good stuff and the occasional pint.
