    Lowe Alpine Contour IV

    Nice photo.That’s actually cheating though. It has a sternum strap, waist belt and even collar bone lifters. 😉

    Graffiti

    The pictures I saw of Adams the painting was very close to the Summit and on a rock that no one is moving.

    Heads up Hurricane Remnants in the whites Wednesday afternoon into evening

    Very temporary IMO. Coming down to hard and fast to have any major lasting effect. Thence the major flooding.

    Graffiti

    Coincidentally and unfortunately there have been multiple sightings of more recent graffiti here in the Whites. Multiple users on FB have reported painting on rocks near the summits of Adams, Galehead and Zealand just in the last week. Unlike the perp that was dropping painted rocks that could...

    Drones and Jet Packs

    Well summarized. Definitely about proper insertion and application. I totally concur on route finding and weather. Does seem in certain circumstances this could be a way of connecting the dots in a given situation.

    Vaucluse Backpack Frame

    This site was down hard Today in this neck of the woods. Looks like the moles are moving in. What do you really want when they they are looking for $4000 plus and they only get less than $1000.

    Lydia finishes the 4K list - 4 years old editted

    This broadcasting of her accomplishment is a prime example of how social media has changed hiking in general and not for all the best reasons. Some have a need to be in the spotlight and need attention to be fulfilled with whatever they do in life. Whether they attract that themselves or...

    Do you work for the company or is this just a bot?

    Merriam Woods - A cautionary tale

    Cart out in front of the horse. Do your homework. They are lucky they did not get shut down indefinitely. Mountain Bikers can be known for similar behavior. Don’t get me wrong I climb and bike but it is individuals on this kind of mission that can screw it up for others that play by the rules...

    Burgeon Outdoor Brand

    What's local and has inherent quality versus what works are different things. As Sierra was saying some of Burgeon's stuff just doesn't fit him correctly. All the function and what is perceived as more PC does not go too far if it does not fit correctly and therefore more likely will...

    At what point does it become enabling?

    Guess the Autoroad and the Cog made a few extra dollars on one way tickets this weekend. Does anyone actually look at the weather report before they decide to climb the Rockpile? Seems as if having a downhill ticket option with the Autoroad and The Cog might be an enabler that promotes the lack...

    Magalloway

    Magalloway gets climbed by others that are not listing. Yes it’s a short hike but not everyone is into big peaks. If we are going to green wash let’s shut down the Coos Trail, stop snowmobiling, discontinue fishing, close down the campgrounds and all OHRV use in the area too. Every time I have...

    Locking Bike Overnight At Flume Gorge Parking Area

    I’ve done bike stashes many times. Just use your head a bit and you’ll be fine.Pick your time and place and use a lock. Not a big deal or worry IMO.
