The big winter climbs that I've been covering, even before they've gotten underway, are both ramping up nicely and getting ready to commence. Considering the first full day of winter is tomorrow, the climbers are all in the final stages of preparation and are preparing to let the action begin. First up, the Russian K2 team took just two days to reach Skardu, arriving there on Saturday. Since then,they've been busy getting their gear prepped for the climb and packing it for transport to Base Camp. Most of

While we're on the subject of Antarctica this morning, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge another important date in the history of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Race. A couple of weeks back I wrote a piece about Amundsen setting off on his journey, and today marks the 100 year anniversary of Robert Falcon Scott beginning his fateful trek to the South Pole as well. When Scott set off from England to start his polar journey, he actually had no idea that he would end up in a race with Amundsen. In early

Peak Lenin It’s now the beginning of September and after a highly eventful and emotional past 4 weeks, I have another long overdue blog to write, whilst I try my upmost to avoid getting burnt in this scorcher of a British summer. It does seem I have been slightly unlucky with the weather, missing the ‘real’ summer this April with a long revision period, however my luck changed during late July and early August as I ventured to Kyrgyzstan, a country famous for..?! What followed was the trip of a ...

It has been awhile since I posted anything about Johan Ernst Nilson's Pole2Pole Expedition . That's the ambitious adventure undertaken by the Swedish explorer during which he hopes to go from the North Pole to the South Pole, in a completely carbon neutral fashion, in just one year's time. When last we checked in, Nilson has been dropped off at the North Pole, and had begun his journey south on skis. It was very tough going however, as the conditions in the Arctic were less than ideal this season, with ...

For Cornthwaite, this was another leg of his Expedition1000 Adventure Project during which he is traveling the world, making 25 separate journeys of 1000 miles or more, using a non-motorized mode of transportation.

Recent rains dont have to put a damper on things: local waterfalls and creeks just got a major boost. Grab your hiking boots and some pals, and go to the flow! Sonoma Secret Hiking to Sonoma Creek Falls requires little legwork, yet this 25-foot charmer still eludes crowds. Tucked in Sonoma Valley half a mile down a trail just outside the Sugarloaf Ridge State Park entrance, this watery wonder is a refreshing alternative to wine tasting.
