Some local powder buffs at Microsoft have developed a trial version of a Windows Phone application called “Peaked”. The application will deliver NWAC forecasts directly to your phone. It saves data retrieved from the web and saves it for offline viewing.

Rescue on Valhalla Treverse
Winter is here! Seattle was blanketed today in it’s first snow of the season. I’m dreaming about ice climbing and can’t wait to get out there.

Colin Haley Cliff Notes
Colin Haley is one of the most accomplished young alpine climbers. He grew up climbing the Cascades and since has moved to climbing mountains worldwide. If you are not familiar with him you can start by viewing his blog and some videos of him on youtube.
Last night Colin Haley spoke about gear & winter travel at the Mountaineers in Seattle. I captured some notes and wanted to share them for those that didn’t attend. Continue reading “Colin Haley Cliff Notes” »

I am deeply saddened by the news of Joe Puryear’s passing. He was one of the good guys.

Drive on, never give up
Drive on and never give up! Inspiring words from wounded solder Steve Baskis in a phone interview after climbing Lobuche. Congrats to the 11 soldiers on their climb! There’s a great post of the play-by-play of summit day on the Soldiers to the Summit website. Can’t wait to see the photos and videos from the trip.

First Ascent: The Series
Outside Magazine posted a review of Sender Films First Ascent series. It looks really cool! The series will also be available as a HD download, which is what I’m hoping to get in on.

As It Happens
Renan Ozturk and Cory Richards took video of their ascent of a technical alpine route in the Himalayas. They shot, edited, and sent in dispatches from the field using satellite and solar technology. They created the film as it was happening. Really awesome stuff. Please check out these guys’ video. Attempting the poor man’s uneducated version of this myself, I can’t imagine the work that went into this. Mad props to them.

Rime Ice
Check out this vid I helped create for KAF Adventures. Our team was turned back from Mount Rainier’s summit due to 60 mph winds. Jason took the opportunity to talk about Rime Ice and how it’s formed. The audio is obnoxious, but so was the wind. We wanted to keep the audio in there so you could get the effect of what it was like. We will be posting more of these type of videos in the future. Enjoy!
