This is a great app to take with you on your trips in the backcountry. I always bring my iPhone with me as a safety precaution. Since I already have my phone apps such as this come along too. There are certain benefits to this app that rule over paper maps. Paper maps also come [...]

These gloves rock. They remind me of those old Reusch gloves that were so bomber. However these gloves have some features that take it to the next level. The feature I love the most is the soft fabric on the thumb perfect for nose wipes in the cold. They also have a removable liner for spring [...]

Well let’s just start this review off with the fact that I really like these boots. They ski amazingly well and can drive the 122mm underfoot Bomb Squad from Ski Logik that I’ve been skiing on harder lines.

With the recent demise of my Dakine Poacher, I went looking for a pack. I tried on a few and and this is the one I chose. I picked this one mainly because of size and fit. Its about the same size as the Poacher. I tend to carry a lot of camera gear on [...]

Went and checked out this movie today at the Museum of Nature and Science here in Denver. I have to say I usually don’t like climbing movies but this was different. I was truly inspired by the story and the presentation. The very idea of trying to “re-enact” Mallory’s ascent to see if it was [...]
