Peak Keychain (5in)

This little guy’s climbing pose is perfect for hooking onto my backpack strap, and the fabric is soft enough to squish without losing its shape.

Those giant round eyes get me every time I unclip him from my bag—the thin smile somehow makes him look both mischievous and reassuring. At exactly five inches, he’s the perfect size to squeeze in a palm when the climb gets sketchy.

He's tiny enough to dangle from my backpack zipper without getting in the way, though I wish the stitching on his smile was a bit tighter. The big round eyes give him a goofy, endearing look that always makes me chuckle when I catch a glimpse.
