Just when you think you've seen it all in terms of headlamp design, along comes the SnowMiner , by Snow Peak , to shake things up. This cleverly designed light looks like nothing else on the market, but that's just the start of what makes this lamp so great. Like any good headlamp, the SnowMiner is lightweight (just 2.3 ounces/65g without batteries), comfortable to wear, and provides plenty of light. It features two different pre-set levels of illumination, high (80 lumens) and low (8 lumens), and comes

Arriving at Baruntse Baruntse Base Camp The arrival at Baruntse was impressive one, as BC, the moraine, and the towering Southwest face of Baruntse opened out in front of us. This was our home for the next 10 days. During the rest of this day and the next, the first rest days we had had for 17 days, we got straight down to business. We only had a scheduled 10 days on the mountain so every day counted. The two days were spent organising piles and many barrels of food, equipment for high on the mountain, and

I know that I promised to post about Ten Sleep, Wyoming a long time ago and due to a lack of pictures I never got around to it. For that I apologize. However, there are a few things you should know about Ten Sleep. 1. Ten Sleep is a technical climbers paradise! You will never [...]

When I was shooting 'The Long Hope' on Hoy this year I had a running joke with climbing photographer Lukasz Warzecha that he had it easy and that shooting video was much harder than shooting stills. So, with that in mind here are my 10 reasons why:- (Warning: please don't take this too seriously!) 1 Sound Acquisition Stills don't need sound! Recording good quality sound in an extreme position is incredibly difficult. You have to compete with the environment (wind, water etc). It requires specialist ...

From here to There? After two weeks of frustrating delays due to bad weather I'm off at one tomorrow morning on a Greyhound bus to Vernon, BC, along with my glider. The basic idea is to ride the dog 350k west to Vernon and then try to fly and walk back home or to the eastern edge of the Rockies somewhere. I should be walking from the bus station toward the Vernon paragliding launch by about 8:00 in the morning. Beyond that I don't know much other than there's a lot of mountain terrain (all of the Columbia

In the past month or so the pain in my ankle has taken a real step up. Causing me to lose even more sleep than usual which aint good for my epilepsy. I thought it was time to get put on the waiting list for the fusion operation so I duly called the hospital the other day and it looks like I'll be in around Christmas time for the op. In a way it's good to have these time pressures as I've been able to clearly set two major goals to train for and hopefully achieve before the op. One is obviously the E8 ...

Sweating hard, I took another step and plunged boot-deep in the soft snow. The rope pulled sharply at my harness. “You need to slow down dude, I can’t go as fast as you,” Chris urged. He was right; we were gaining nothing by working this hard on the approach. It was 11:00 am, the sun, a rare-sight in this mountain range, was shining brightly down on us. The snow was isothermal. The mighty east face of Cerro Torre leered above, taunting me. This was the culmination of a season spent biding time, ...

It's not often that I can say this, but the drive to Pawtuckaway went off without a hitch ! We left our house at 5:15 am and arrived at the park well before 2 pm. Both kids were loaded into the truck without fuss and they both fell back to sleep for quite a while before waking up for the day. They were still in their pajamas, and clothes were handy for the first "awake" rest stop. We managed to get to the last food/fuel stop in NJ before they woke up - quite a feat! Wehad a cooler of drinks and snacks ...

On May 13 British mountaineers Jon Bracey and Matt Hellinker set out to do a route that had been the dream of their friend Jules Cartwright. Cartwright, an experienced mountaineer responsible for many first ascents, died in 2004 while guiding Piz Badille. Before his death Cartwright had already established one route, The Knowledge (Alaska Grade 6: ED4 5.7 A2++ AI6, 6000') on Hunter and had envisioned the line that Bracey and Hellinker climbed and then named in his honor; the Cartwright Connection (Alaskan
