I was running through my repertoire of easy meal options for climbing, hiking, traveling with kid etc., and thought I'd share my short list in hopes of getting some feedback (and an expanded selection) for quick and easy food options. Some caveats: Refrigeration can be a challenge (adds to the amount we carry) so I try to think of things that won't spoil quickly. Some of the options on my short list, however, probably require refrigeration. We use these for short day trips and/or the climbing gym. 1. ...

Still haven't gotten your fill of Everest news for the year? Already going through withdrawals now that the season is done? Have no fear, as gear company First Ascent is still updating their blog with some news and video from the mountain. In the video below, FA guide Melissa Arnot talks about what it is like to return to Everest once again and to summit with a partner that she trusts and enjoys climbing with. The accompanying images are a wonderful look at the upper reaches of the mountain, including ...

It's no secret that I'm a fan of backpacks. I have far more packs in my gear closet than any one person ought to, but they each fill a specific need, and depending on where I'm going, and what I'm doing, I can rest assured that I have the perfect pack to fill my needs. My favorite pack is definitely my Atmos 50 from Osprey , as it is the perfect size for traveling light, while still carrying all of your necessary equipment. That pack has been with me on multiple continents and on multiple adventures. I had

Let’s face it. When you head out on an extended backcountry trip, there are three pieces of gear that are essential to your comfort. You need a good, comfortable pair of boots, a good, comfortable pack, and a proper sleeping bag to help you sleep comfortably at night. While preparing for my recent trip to the Himalaya, I knew I had the first two items more than covered, but I was a bit concerned about the sleeping bag. My guide service recommended that I bring a four-season bag in order to stay warm at

A while back, Iker Pou made the 2nd ascent of Chris Sharma's Demencia senil , 9a+, at Margalef. I decided it was time to ask the man a few questions. Big thanks to Iker of course, but also to Cedric Larcher, from Kairn , who has translated the interview to and from Spanish. I know he's gone back to make a video, so hopefully we'll see it soon. Demencia senil shares the same start with Llamps y troms . What is the main difference between the two routes? In order to do Demencia senil you have to do all the

.nobrtable br { display: none } OK, ladies... here's the first annual Spring Gear Guide from yours truly. I've scoured catalogs, stores, and websites to bring you my picks for this season. Some items aren't new, but they're new to me, and these goodies are from all across my climbing life, including crag, camp and miscellany. Instead of just providing the manufacturer specs like some of the other gear guides, I'm featuring each item of gear here because I either have it and love it; or, because I have it
