It’s Monday…

by Sara on August 30, 2010

And I’m antsy to get outside, so here’s a wrap-up of how I’ve distracted myself lately by reading about other people’s time outside. Closest to home, there was a lot of love around the Summit for Someone climb I did last weekend to benefit Big City Mountaineers. Here’s a wrap-up of the content so far, [...]

What I’m reading now…

by Sara on August 25, 2010

It has been a LONG time since I did a link love wrap-up… with my recent move to Wordpress, it seemed time to update the blogroll.  Here are ten of my favorite blogs… mostly about climbing, but mostly about the climbing life, as well; and two three bonus blogs that are kind of less about climbing, [...]

Summit!

August 23, 2010

A Woman’s Place is on Top of Mount Rainier from Sara Lingafelter on Vimeo. I’m freshly home from Mount Rainier via a wacky day at work… I was able to piece together the video I took during the trip to make a “friends and family” version (aka, the long winded one) that went live today [...]

I’m missing my ice axe (it’s meeting me in Ashford, thanks to Candace) and my avalanche transceiver (which I’m renting [...]

It’s Monday of Rainier week.  I’m not officially on the move until our gear check at 3pm on Wednesday down in Ashford at Whittaker Mountaineering.  For those of you following along, we’re doing the 4-day [...]

Rock climbing just keeps getting sexier.

August 16, 2010

In June, I wrote a post about a study I read about in a self-help book.  The study found that women find men who climb attractive.  I’d say, more accurately — women find the idea of men who climb attractive… since I’d assume fairly few of the respondents actually have first hand experience with real, [...]

Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2010: aka, it’s not about the gear.

August 12, 2010

I attended Outdoor Retailer (the twice-yearly outdoor industry trade show) recently with KEEN, Inc…  I arrived in Salt Lake City a day early, and hit the trails with my friend and colleague Mark with KEEN right off the plane.  We had a great day hiking from Albion Basin to Grizzly Gulch, which eased the sting [...]

Film highlights of the Squamish Mountain Festival

The talk of the interwebz this morning is the Cedar Wright final edit of “Boogie ’til You Poop,” featuring Jason Kruk in a mini epic on a Squamish offwidth formerly known as “Boogie ’til You Puke…” I’m having trouble with the embedded video, so you’ll have to click a link to see Boogie ’til You Poop [...]
