Got alotta letters asking about great runs, and rather than keep wasting my time replying, and changing my opinion, I thought I’d set it in stone. There are many great runs, but there is only one that rules them, but more of that later. First this planet of ours is still incredible in its beauty and diversity, so we should as citizens of the world, take notice, take part, and do our best to keep at least. some corners of it immaculate, as mountain runners I hope we do that, and don’t drop those little

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. One of the most important aspects of any outdoor activity is keeping our feet comfortable and happy. The shoes we put on our feet can definitely make or break our adventures, which is why selecting the right pair of hiking boots is such an important and personal decision. Take for example the new Jamison boots from Bogs . If you'relooking for a great new pair of hiking boots to use in the backcountry or when high on the slopes of a mountain, than this isn't your

For active, outdoor enthusiasts, the hydration pack just might be the greatest invention ever. The ability to conveniently carry our water with us no matter where we go or what activity we're doing, has made our ability to play and work outside much easier. Over the years, the hydration pack has evolved to the point where they are now lighter, easier to use, and more ergonomically designed to fit our bodies. They've even become specialized to the point that there are now hydration packs built for specific

I've been told for a while now that my writing is pretty honest so in this post I'll continue that and try give you an idea of what I've experienced in the last two days. If you've been following this blog you will know I've been attempting to climb an E8 in the Mournes for around 18 months and had no luck. I've poured my life and soul into these 20m of rock and even for someone like me it's been a brutal emotional rollercoaster. In the past when I've been going at risky routes I've always been fairly ...

Remember the old days, when we'd head out on a hike in a pair of basic leather boots and tube socks? At the end of the day, we'd be so happy that we reached our destination, simply so we could kick of our shoes and air out our tired, sore, and usually stinky, feet. A lot has changed since then. Our boots have certainly improved, becoming more comfortable and durable at the same time. Hiking shoes have become high tech wonders, mixing the latest waterproof and wicking fabrics, with Vibram soles and ...

So, after a year of tweaking in my humble home studio I have put together a new album. The last three years and three albums has been a huge learning process with lots of setbacks, breakthroughs and moments of pure joy. I'm proud of this album... it's far and away my best work. All the songs are completely original from the Vocals to the Guitar to the beats to random Mbira licks and Synth

GRIZZLY BEARS hibernate five to six months of the year, and their heartbeats slow from 84 beats a minute to less than 20. If a humans heart did that, blood would pool, the organs chambers would stretch, the heart would weaken, and that would be one hibernation from which we never woke. So how do [...] Secret of Grizzly Hibernation? Change of Heart is a post from: adventure journal

There was no sugar coating it, I was getting a beat down. This normally wouldn't surprise me, but it was on grades that I can comfortably climb at our home crags, so I was feeling a little frustrated.

A couple of summers back I purchased a new road bike, the first I had owned in a number of years, and began getting reacquainted with my love for the speed and agility that comes with road cycling. After just a few rides I remembered how much fun it was to hit the open road and go for miles. But riding that fancy new bike made me realize how much my aging, but much loved mountain bike was really showing its years. That bike is now more than 10 years old, and the technology that goes into bikes has changed
