Camping on the summit of a mountain is a great way to cap off a day of backpacking, but getting there can be a bit tricky, and you may have to time it just right.

Wilder Disc Golf in Newport,OR

Wilder Sign Next Adventure
Greetings from Newport, Oregon! It's time to take a trip to the Central Oregon Coast, disc golf style. That's right, it's one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest, and now it just got even more enticing for those who enjoy hucking discs in the woods. Once in Newport, follow Hwy. 101 to the South Beach district on the south side of the historic, and extremely scenic, Yaquina Bay Bridge. Next, stop by the South Beach Market for some of the freshest and tastiest seafood the Oregon coast has to offer, and load up on some snacks and drinks (the disc golf course takes some energy to play, so be prepared). Finally, follow the signs for the Central Oregon Coast Community College (SE College Way) and take the short drive up into the coastal forest on a well paved, windy road until you see the sign for the disc golf course on your left. AHHH, PARADISE!

The annual Rose City Open took place over Memorial Day weekend in Pier Park.  Next Adventure’s flight crew, along with several other Pro and Amateur disc golfers from all over the northwest, competed in the two day event.  Over 150 disc golfers filled the fairways of Pier Park, flinging it out for the top spots in their divisions.

Mountain Hardwear Direkt 2 Review

Submitted by Chris on Wed, 2013-05-15 20:13

I have been using the Mountain Hardwear Direkt 2 for the last couple of big trips I have been on. So stoked on this tent!

The Direkt 2 is a lightweight, 2 person, internal pole mountaineering tent. Weighing in at 2 lbs 8 oz, it is light enough to use as a one man tent, or as a fast and light bivy shelter for 2 people.

May 8th-9th Mt. Baker North Ridge

Submitted by Chris on Wed, 2013-05-15 19:07
I've been wanting to do a trip like this for quite awhile now. Splitboards are great fun, everyone knows that.

Climbing makes a man out of you quickly. It's kind of like the army, except you get to make your own decisions.

Even though I have done many mountaineering trips with a splitboard, they have all felt like more of a backcountry run more than an alpine climbing experience. This time, I wanted to switch it up and do a technical climb, with a splitboard as an approach tool.

We started 2.7 miles from the trailhead at a large snow drift. We contemplated trying to dig it out for a bit, but decided to just hoof it. After a 1/2 mile of road walking we were able to skin up and start skiing. I believe this was at about the 2,700 ft. level.
