Mt. Adams Southwest Chutes

Submitted by Chris on Thu, 2012-06-28 21:01

 

 A 5 am start from Portland landed us at the snowdrifts blocking Forest Road 4080 and hiking by 7:30. I was joined by a skier who shall remain nameless, and Ryan, a Next Adventure gear guru. We set out up the dry road for a couple of miles, hiking in ski boots, until we reached snowline near the Wiki Creek Shelter. Shortly thereafter, we were skinning through nicely shaded forests until the timberline and Suksdorf ridge.

X-Dog's Mt. Hood Scramble: The race that keeps on giving

Submitted by Rochelle Comeaux on Fri, 2012-06-22 09:57

If you've never competed in an adventure race, this would be a great place to start. Each year X-Dog Events puts together an impressive scramble that equally tests the endurance, speed, and stability of the finest athletes while still entertaining and challenging even the occasional jogger. This year Elias Stucky and I participated in the event as Next Adventure representatives and we both left with scratches on our legs, sand in our shoes, and huge smiles on our faces.

A Day at Leavenworth

Leavenworth Bouldering, Icicle Canyon

Nolan and I accompanied by a couple friends took the six hour drive to Leavenworth, late Father's Day. We drove through Icicle Canyon, arriving at the Forrestland parking lot at the ungodly hour of 3 a.m. We then set up camp; very happy that our Mountain Safety Research tent (the Elbow Room 2 person) only requires a couple minutes to set up. With four  pieces, it takes little to no brain power - lucky for us. After doing some star gazing we wondered up to the boulders to check out what was on the next day's busy agenda.

Zodiac, El Capitan, 5.8 A3

GREG MILLER AND STEVE LOZANO PREPED AND READYAn awesome feeling overcomes me whenever I stand at the base of a big wall.  All at once, I will feel excitement, nervousness, fear, and giddiness as I mentally prepare myself for a long climb.  Maybe it is because the next 2,000 feet or so is a mystery.  Recently, I found myself feeling all of those emotions again, and boy what a feeling it was!

Climbing and Snowboarding on Mt. Rainier

Submitted by Chris on Sun, 2012-06-17 14:06
I gave Mt. Rainier a try this last week but was turned around about 1,000 vertical feet from the summit, due to my climbing partner being overcome by altitude sickness. All in all, it was still a great trip and climb, and we even got a few thousand vertical feet of good shredding in!
