The Nissan Winter Outdoor Games - 2008-04-06 by apoorva
We check out the event held in February in Chamonix and get an idea of how wild the alpine circus is when it's in town. 7 teams each make a 5 minute film with climbing, acro-paragliding, speedriding, wingsuit flying, base jumping and big-mountain skiing/snowboarding all included, in only 5 days.

Photography Feature: Simon Carter - 2008-01-02 by onsight
"Climbing has given me some of the best times of my life. I became pretty addicted to it soon after discovering it twenty something years ago. At the time I was also really into photography and combining the two seemed a natural progression. Climbing becomes more of a way of life than a sport."

Ice Climbing 101 - 2007-11-30 by percious
The snow is flying and you don’t ski. Your recent send of “Interloper (5.12a)” gym route left you with sort of an empty feeling. You are seeking adventure, and dammit, and your nubs don’t work too well on rock when its 20 degrees out. Where do you go now?

Meantime, we give them time to cool off as we leisurely set their breakfast. Eventually they recover and start to devour their breakfast as we prepare ours. It's going to be a long day and as usual, eat as much as I can.

Mount Kenya Trek: A Porter's Diary on Sirimon - Chogoria Traverse (Day 3) - 2007-10-21 by gathee
I open my eyes to the bright rays of sun rise and notice that I'm alone in the bunkhouse. Before I jump down I suddenly recall that today is our lazy day as the whole day will be spent here at camp while Evans takes the trekkers for a day hike to acclimatize properly.
