There continues to be a lot of activity on the major winter climbs that are now taking place in Alaska and Pakistan. As is typical this time of year, the climbers are hoping to take advantage of any break in the weather that they get, but they also know that they have to continue their work, despite the conditions. On Denali, it seems that Lonnie Dupre is now waiting for a weather window to make an attempt at the summit. He has now climbed as high as 5242 meters (17,200 ft) as part of his acclimatization

Growing up in France, Joe spent most of his time outside, mainly climbing and backpacking. It wasn't until his early twenties that he discovered running as a simplified extension of both of these activities and a fast and light way to explore wild places. He has since become a top competitor on the US trail and mountain ultrarunning circuit in races ranging from 50 kilometers to 100 miles. Last year he showed his versatility winning his first 24 hour track race and completing a 96 mile unsupported run ...

A lot of that is down to Stevie Christie managing to strike the right note with the vibe, films, ...

...and so I have added - not one - but TWO new projects to my repertoire. That's on top of the recently launched line of chalkbags under ClimbAddict Designs . The new ventures are similar, and came about when I was invited to join a team of sellers on the Etsy.com platform called Etsy Climbers. This is a group of people on Etsy who rock climb and either have shops on the site, or use the site to shop. The Team Page provides a place for you to join, if you are interested. At any rate, I was excited to join
