Polartec has launched their second annual Made Possible Challenge , which will award a single college with $10,000 cash and some great Polartec gear. The company hopes to encourage a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts through its support of collegiate outdoor programs and clubs. Last year's winner was Appalachian State, which received 28,000 online votes in just a single week. The school used their $10,000 to create a scholarship fund that is helping to fund outdoor adventures for a number of students.

We had some seriously awesome spring-like weather today and I took advantage with a quick midday circuit up on Flagstaff. Here's a short video of several of my favorite moderates on the mountain. Flagstaff Moderates from Doug Lipinski on Vimeo . I had fun putting this quick edit together and I'd like to get some more of these videos up, but I only have a 6 year old point and shoot camera and a memory card that holds 4.5 minutes of crappy video.

I have put together a short video of how to lower a climber past a knot, if using a large HMS carabiner. This might be helpful if you have an injured climber a long way up a cliff, as with two 60 metre ropes you can potentially lower just over 120 metres. This would get [...]
