More Affordable Snow Goggles

More Affordable Snow Goggles

Snow goggles are a necessity but sometimes this piece of our winter kit can take a big bite out of our wallets–especially given how prone they are to scratching and getting lost each season. Both K2 and Giro answered our plea and created snow goggles that are both high-tech and affordable–sure you may not get the multiple lens change options but these goggles will leave you will plenty of leftover beer money for après time.

The PhotoAntic and PhotoAntic DLX from K2 takes advantage of the company’s high performance spherical lenses in a modern, oversize, semi-frameless design. The lenses offer 100% UVA/UVB protection with an anti-fog coating and a distortion-free view. The affordable goggles pair cleanly with any variety of helmet so you aren’t left with an embarrassing gaper gap.

The PhotoAntic frame is lined with single density foam and features a slotted nose bridge for a comfortable face fit. The DLX uses the same frame but adds a plush fleece lined foam and anti-slip silicon beads that line the inside of the strap for superior helmet grip.

The K2 PhotoAntic and PhotoAntic DLX retail for $59.95-$89.95 and are available now in a variety of color and lens combinations.

More Affordable Snow Goggles

For next season, Giro jumps in with the Semi and Dylan (women’s specific) snow goggles–new additions to the EXV (Expansion View Technology) Collection. These medium-size frame goggles feature retro looks and undercover tech with a vast, wide-angle field of view for better vision in all conditions delivered via an injected-molded cylindrical lens. The lens is coated with an anti-fog solution for uncompromised vision. Cushy double-layer face foam plus seamless compatibility with all Giro helmets make the Semi and Dylan a great choice for younger riders or those in need of a more compact style.

The Giro Dylan and Semi snow goggles will retail for $89 and start shipping in August 2015 with a Flash Lens and extra bonus low light lens.

A History of Ice Climbing in the Vail Valley

A History of Ice Climbing in the Vail Valley

Today's guest post is from Michael Mote, instructor and guide with Apex Mountain School in Vail, CO. Apex Mountain School offers ice climbing and mixed climbing outings for climbers of all ability levels in this historic region. You can check out their website to learn more.

Ice climbing comes from humble beginnings. In the 16th century, shepherds crafted shoes with iron spikes to make travel on icy slopes feasible while tending flocks. Throughout the late 1800s, the “Golden Age” of climbing was characterized by the first ascents throughout the Alps, and was followed by the invention of the 10-point crampon by Oscar Eckenstean in 1908. Crampons were made available commercially by Henry Grivel, whose son, Lauret Grivel, later introduced the twelve-point crampon.

Between the 1920s and 1960s, many north faces of the great Alps were climbed and the limits of the sport were pushed by Scottish climbers like Tom Patey and Jimmy Marshall. The invention of the curved ice tool revolutionized ice climbing; Yvon Chouinard created a tool that greatly improved placement security and hooking ability. Thus, mixed climbing techniques that were explored in Scotland during the 20th century became more widespread among climbers. Until the 1970s, North American climbers had been second to Europeans in innovation and route-setting; however, a menagerie of first ascents by climbing greats such as Jeff Lowe and Mike Weiss catapulted North American ice climbing into the limelight.

As ice climbing became a sport in and of itself, rather than a necessary part of ascending difficult alpine routes, Vail emerged as the epicenter of ice enthusiasm. Waterfall ice climbing in the 1970s and 80s was marked by first ascents of Rigid Designator by Bob Culp and The Fang by Alex Lowe, which defined Vail as the proving grounds for the sport’s greatest climbers. Throughout the 90s, local sites such as Rigid Designator Amphitheatre and The Pumphouse became the focus for the rapidly growing sport of mixed climbing.

Jeff Lowe’s first ascent of Octopussy (M8) marked the unofficial beginning of modern mixed climbing, which combine sport climbing technique with traditional ice climbing. Climbers like Will Gadd put up routes like Fatman and Robin (M9) and Amphibian (M9)), which applied dry-tooling technique to free previously unreachable daggers and ice flows. Gadd and others like Stevie Haston breathed new life into “climbed out” areas of Vail in the late 90s – Gadd’s groundbreaking 1998 ascent of Reptile (M10) in Vail proved another notable stage in the progression of modern ice climbing.

Ice climbing and mixed climbing continue to evolve as athletes push the boundaries of difficulty in unprecedented ways. In 2001, Will Gadd and Tim Emmett’s first ascent of Spray On, a route on precarious spray ice that winds through the mouth of a 250-ft cave in British Columbia, was given a grade of WI10 -, two grades higher than the world’s previous hardest ice climb.

As ice climbers achieve new heights, and as the sport continues to evolve, Vail remains one of the world’s premier destinations for ice climbers and mixed climbers of varied ability levels. Routes range from legends such as The Fang, and Fatman and Robin, to gentler waterfalls perfect for the new ice enthusiast. Regardless of one’s level of climbing ability, few can argue with the bliss that follows from grasping an ice tool and sinking it into a frozen water formation for the first time, or hooking on stone and carefully moving upwards towards more ice.

Editor's Note: I have yet to climb in the Vail area, but it looks like I need to add The Fang to my list for next winter. Who here has climbed in and around Vail?

Scale Mount Asgard In Berghaus Climbing Game

Scale Mount Asgard In Berghaus Climbing Game

Did you love The Asgard Project movie and want more?  Now you have the chance to join Leo Holding, Sean Leary, Carlos Suarez and their team to experience the climb for yourself. Make your own free ascent of the north face of Mount Asgard with the new virtual climbing game from Berghaus.


The climbing game is designed to capture the essential elements and experiences from the team's original ascent of Mount Asgard. As you climb through three sequentially more difficult stages, you are met with snow blizzards, rock avalanches, wind gusts and loss of balance and stamina.

You are allowed to train before you start climbing and I highly recommend it. The stages have numerous possible belay points and it is up to you to find the best and most efficient route. You climb from belay point to belay point by using the arrow keys and the "A" and "S" keys to keep your balance centered.

As you climb, your stamina level drops and you need to get to the next belay point before you start breathing heavy and your energy runs out. At each belay point, you can hang out for awhile until you feel rejuvenated again. Insiders tip- use the cracks to save energy!

You are scored on how fast you climb each stage, the number of falls you take, the number of belays used, number of rocks dogged and how well you kept your balance throughout the climb. Upon successful completion of each stage, you unlock videos from The Asgard Project as well as further information on Berghaus such as the gear the team wore on the trip.

The Mount Asgard climbing game is a great way to pass your lunch hour or for something to do if you are bored at work. I warn you that it is surprisingly frustrating and addicting. Needless to say, with my current overall score in the climbing game, Berghaus won't be sponsoring me anytime soon.

Golden Gate Bridge Gets A Water Filling Station

Golden Gate Bridge Gets A Water Filling Station

Thousands of runners, cyclists, walkers, commuters, and tourists pass by or over the Golden Gate Bridge every single day. To help cut down on plastic waste, reusable glass bottle provider Lifefactory teamed up with both the National Park Service and Globaltap to install a reusable bottle filling station at the Golden Gate Bridge Pavilion in San Francisco. Combined with the proposed ban on the sale of plastic water bottles in the city, San Francisco would be the first major metropolis to take the brave plunge in reducing their environmental impact.

The Golden Gate Bridge is part of the larger U.S. National Park Service, where plastic bottles represent 1/3 to 1/2 the trash left by visitors, creating both an ecological and financial burden. Since 2011, the National Park Service has moved to implement disposable plastic water bottle recycling and reduction programs, with the option for total elimination of sales where refilling stations are feasible, such as the one above.

The new San Francisco water fountain/bottle filling station unit is located on the southeast side of the bridge at the Golden Gate Bridge Pavilion adjacent to the Visitor Center and Gift Shop. Next time you head out on that ride, walk, or run near the Golden Gate Bridge, bring your reusable bottle and fill up with some great tasting Hetch Hetchy water.

I would love to see the Park Service do this at Muir Woods, Mt. Tam, Stinson Beach, Muir Beach, and other highly trafficked outdoor tourist spots all over the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. According to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, it appears this may be in the works.

Where else have you seen water bottle filling stations in state or national parks and other outdoor environments? I know the Grand Canyon has implemented a few along both the North and South Rims and Yosemite has water stations scattered throughout the valley floor. Reusable water bottle company Vapur has also teamed up with Elkay to implement Refill Stations across state and national parks, colleges and universities, as well as travel and hospitality destinations throughout the United States.

A great step in the right direction.

Commitment

Got this from a friend in an email last week:

I’m leading a devotion today in our all church staff meeting titled “commitment and discipline is what we do when we are no longer in love.†I think you would like it.

I think I would to. The title’s awesome and so profound. When love begins to wane, I think our first choice might be to rekindle the love, not knuckle down on the commitment or discipline. While that may be a short cut to better behavior for a season, it will not of itself lead to lasting change or fruitfulness in his kingdom.

Alpine Pants With Integrated Harness

Alpine Pants With Integrated Harness

Finding ways to integrate a climbing harness into outdoor apparel seems to be on trend these days. Similar to the climbing shorts and skort from Mammut , Vaude now follows up their original Mera Peak Pants with integrated harness from 2010, with a Light version in 2012, perfect for summer alpine climbing, ski and glacier touring.

The Mera Peak Light Pants are made from lightweight, stretchy, and fast drying Schoeller 3XDRY fabric. The alpine pants are specifically designed to accommodate an Edelrid Loopo Light climbing harness, a favorite among European mountain guides, to be worn underneath. With front exit slots for the belay loop and a rear flap panel opening for gear loops, you have access to everything you need for safe travels.

By wearing your harness underneath your outermost layer, you will not only be more comfortable, but have better access to the four zippered side pockets without leg loops in the way. The Edelrid climbing harness Slide Rail-System lets you position the gear loops wherever you desire along the hipbelt, making it easy to rack your carabiners, ice screws, quickdraws, and other essential gear.

The Mera Peak Light pants themselves have articulated knees and a straight leg cut so that no extra fabric gets in the way of an errant crampon. Schoeller 3XDRY fabric is water and dirt resistant, while helping to wick away sweat in order to keep you dry and comfortable in alpine environments. The bottom gaiters with gripper hems are detachable and feature attachment hooks to secure the alpine pants down to the top of your climbing or alpine touring boots.

The Vaude Mera Peak Light alpine pants will most like retail for the around the same price as the current Mera Peak Pants (€330) and be available Spring 2012.

God Makes Himself Known in North Pokot

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone dig a toilet in the hot sun for his friend.”

No, that’s not how the Scripture reads, but it is true enough!  This is way above washing dirty feet, that’s for sure.  And way above helping a friend move.  The outpouring of love from the Kenyans in Katale for the Keyans in West Pokot has astounded me.  Yes, many of you have provided the means for them to do it, but they have gone and done the hard work of digging foundations, pouring cement, building the walls, and now finishing the school and the dispensary. If you’ve missed the earlier part of this story, you can catch up here .
The work is almost done. Three wells are up and running and the school and dispensary are almost complete.  The work continues as does the need.  I received this report from Michael yesterday:

Dear brother Wayne, greetings in the most powerful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, thank you very much for your support.  This project has changed the image of this region, and people now can understand about God.
The greatest support is about water, hospital and the school.  These were the three major needs for this wonderful people.   I have spent a long time there with the engineer and some volunteers who remain to see that every dollar goes to the right materials.   Every project is in the process of being completed soon.
I cannot even explain the great love beyond the boundary and the great investment which you have invested towards our people, may God receive all Glory, the honor and praise.  It is true we are overwhelmed by the need here.  We cannot take you as a source of solving our problems, but keenly through the conviction of the Holy Spirit may give us the help we need.   In this region many people have more affected with hunger, which I cannot even tell and sometimes we meet people they look like skeleton.  Your greatest help among all, is to help them to get water and we have heard, the songs from their tradition language praising for God for heaven who has make all of these for them to get water, their family and animals.  It was a great gift to save the life of thousands across this region.
This is amazing grace; the people in this community were happy and rejoicing.  Every evening you can hear young men making a circle jumping and dancing praising God who has answered their prayers for all this generation.  Old women and men in the community were sitting under the big tree talking about the miracle that God has done.
Recently I was visited by four representatives of the community who walked very long distance during our first visit outreach.  You remember that you contributed additional food for this community.  They came with a request to have a well drilled for them, which their community can share.  They live a very long distance from the other wells.  I feel strongly in my heart that God one day will hear their cry and provide for them.
I know the need of wells is so great and we cannot satisfied every community, but we can give what the Lord has given us, for some whom God may lead.   The extra money you sent for the well company to repair their damaged truck has melted their hearts and they promised us that if we needed to add another well they would do it for only $29,000 no matter if it needs to be deeper than the expected.  They will do it for God’s glory.
About outpatient services, we need now to start the process of getting licenses, so that we may be given assurance of start up the dispensary soon. I think we send it to you the amount; we have book some appointment with the health department at the end of this week. After that, then we will evaluate the doctor and two nurses.
Yours,
Brother Michael

Here are a few pictures from the completion of the dispensary:

The dispensary nears completion

God Makes Himself Known in North Pokot

The flooring is poured inside and out and the electrical has been installed.  Inspectors arrive this week to work out licensing and supply.

So, what’s next?  We are praying with them about God’s provision for another well at $29,000.00.   This group of people are too far away to utilize the three previous wells.
From the beginning God has convicted me that while we can help as he leads he did not want the people in Kenya to become dependent on the West, but to look to God as their provider.  That’s why we’ve not only tried to help, but we’re also trying to find ways to create enterprises whose profit can meet the ongoing costs of the orphanage, dispensary and schools.  This has not been easy, but it is important that they have the opportunity
The petrol station we built last year was part of that. Unfortunately its profits only cover about two thirds of the orphanage and education of the children.
So I have asked them to look for another enterprise to make up the difference.  They may have landed on something now that would not only provide the balance for the orphanage but also the dispensary and schools in North Pokot.  They want to set up a distributorship for grain, buying it during the harvest, and dispensing it in the months that follow.  Their projection is that for a $14,000 investment they will be able to set up this business, employ locals to run it and make enough money each month to handle the ongoing needs both in their region and in North Pokot.  At the same time they will be able to help make food available in the communities where they live.  We are still sorting through the numbers on this venture to see if they add up, but this might be the answer to a lot of prayer.
If God has put it on your heart to help with these needs, you can direct it through Lifestream.  Contributions are tax-deductible in the US.  As always, every dollar you send goes to the need in Kenya.  We do not (nor do they) take out any administrative or money transfer fees.  If you would like to be part of this to support these brothers and sisters and see the gospel grow in this part of Africa, please see our Sharing With the World page . You can either donate with a credit card there, or you can mail a check to Lifestream Ministries • 1560 Newbury Rd Ste 1  •  Newbury Park, CA 91320. Or if you prefer, we can take your donation over the phone at (805) 498-7774.

Wahoo Announces Garmin 810 Rival

Wahoo Announces Garmin 810 Rival

This week at Interbike, Wahoo Fitness introduced the ELEMNT–a standalone, GPS-enabled cycling computer that the company hopes will chip away at Garmin’s dominance in the market. By loading up the device with wireless connectivity and pairing with your phone instead of your computer for setup, personalization and control, Wahoo hopes to simplify the entire user experience and leave you to simply focus on the ride.

In addition to GLONASS and GPS, the ELEMNT packs in ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart for sensor, trainer, and phone connectivity, in addition to WiFi for network communication. When paired with your phone, you can receive text, email, and phone call alerts on the device as you ride and enable your friends and family to follow you online real-time with live tracking.

In addition to capturing and displaying all your key ride metrics, the ELEMNT will help you navigate routes via a bold line on a map and when appropriate, turn by turn directions. The bike computer comes with fully programmable LED lights on the side and top of the unit to provide visual cues for critical data such as speed, cadence, heart rate zones, power, and navigation. Zoom buttons enable you to click in or out of the number of data fields shown on the display without the need for programming and there is a dedicated page for every part of your ride.

The large-format (2.7″ diagonal), high-contrast DayBright display is black and white and sadly not touchscreen. The battery lasts for around 17 hours of riding before needing to be recharged.

The ELEMNT companion app (iOS and Android) automates the pairing with the GPS bike computer and manages the configuration process. You also get integration with third-party platforms like Strava and RideWithGPS, which allows the ELEMNT to automatically pull your saved routes directly from your account and upload your ride data when you get back home.

Fully integrated with the rest of the Wahoo product line, the ELEMNT also lets you control the KICKR indoor training experience directly from your handlebars, without a computer, tablet or smartphone. The ELEMNT can even allow you to recreate any saved course indoors by matching resistance to the ride’s GPS profile.

The Wahoo ELEMNT retails for $329.99 with pre-orders taken now on the company website.

Arc’teryx Voltair Avalanche Airbag Backpack

Arc’teryx Voltair Avalanche Airbag Backpack

Back in 2012, Arc’teryx filed a patent for a motor powered avalanche airbag system. Four years later, the Voltair avalanche airbag backpack has finally made it to market. With multiple deployment functionality and quick, powerful inflation, the Voltair is set to become a favorite amongst the serious backcountry set.

Until the Black Diamond Jetforce , traditional avalanche airbag systems used only compressed air cylinders, complete with the associated drawbacks such as single deployment. By comparison, the Arc’teryx Voltair airbag system is powered by a heavy-duty 22.2V Lithium-Ion Polymer rechargeable battery that allows you to deploy the airbag multiple times. Along with routine testing of the system, the multiple deployment advantage allows you to practice deploying the airbag to better train yourself on how to react during an avalanche. “In a high consequence situation, you don’t rise to the occasion, you fall back on your training,” said Gordon Rose, Senior Industrial Designer at Arc’teryx.

Utilizing an advanced engineered centrifugal blower to fill the 150 liter balloon, the Voltair system delivers more initial pressure than any other battery powered avalanche airbag system on the market. This superior system ensures the balloon deploys rapidly, consistently, and continuously–even if small tears or punctures result from colliding with hard objects like trees and rocks. Another advantage of the Voltair’s rechargeable battery is its high-grade automotive quick connector for convenient assembly of the system, ability to be charged in the field with a special adapter, and ability to disconnect the battery completely from the backpack in order to meet air transportation safety regulations.

Made in Canada at Arc’teryx’s own manufacturing facility, the Voltair airbag features include a unique mechanical ‘always available’ trigger handle that is permanently accessible and can be quickly unlocked to deploy the airbag during descent. Borrowing from the company’s climbing harness technology, the Voltair employs an easy-to-use, one-handed wire gate leg loop/harness system that solidly secures the airbag to your body.

Available in 20L and 30L volumes, the fully seam-sealed Voltair is constructed from a waterproof nylon ripstop body fabric with WaterTight zippers for top and side access to the two main compartments. Both sizes offer dedicated compartments for additional snow safety equipment like shovels and probes. Front lash ladders and straps diagonally carry skis or snowboard while ice/mountaineering tool loops keep everything else in place for a stable and safe ride.

The Arc’teryx Voltair avalanche airbag backpack details are as follows:

  • Voltair 20L – US $1,650 – price inclusive of bag, battery and Power. Weight – 3235g / 7.1 lbs
  • Voltair 30L – US $1,700 – price inclusive of bag, battery and Power. Weight – 3465g / 7.6 lbs

Columbia Silver Ridge Backpack Review

Columbia Silver Ridge Backpack Review

With this funny winter weather in the West, you never know if you are going to be hiking in 70 degree sunshine one weekend or skiing the next. Over the course of the early season, I was fortunate enough to find hidden snow stashes across Utah, Colorado, and Canada, while still hitting the trail both on bike and on foot here in the Bay Area. Whether skiing groomers or hiking amongst the redwoods, the Silver Ridge pack from Columbia has always been on my back.

This lightweight pack uses Omni-Shield Water Repellency to keep your extra layers, gloves, and snacks dry for the day. This came in handy on a recent trip to Whistler, where I skied through three days of heavy wet snow and fog that only British Columbia can serve up.

The shaped and padded straps are generously cut, slide easily over top of a shell, and make the pack quick to get on and off as you hit the chairlift or gondola. A waist and sternum strap (along with a safety whistle) mean the pack sticks to you like glue on the bumps, while a foam padded backpanel ensures comfort regardless the cargo.

The 20L capacity Silver Ridge offers up more than enough storage room for an extra layer, food, and sunglasses, with isolated pockets for a phone and wallet. The pack sports front gear loops for stashing your trekking poles and a generous 3L hydration capacity for long dry days at altitude.

I am a water hog when I ski, so appreciate the hydration sleeve for my CamelBak reservoir. While the right shoulder hydration hose exit is a nice feature, the lack of any type of hose clip on the shoulder strap left me struggling to find the mouthpiece at times, particularly when my peripheral vision was limited by goggles and a ski helmet.

A lightweight, low profile yet roomy pack suited for resort skiing or hiking, the Columbia Silver Ridge Backpack retails for $85 (20L) – $149 (35L), but you can currently find over half price sales on them now.
