Owens Valley, Gateway to Backcountry Paradise
by Alex Sepulveda

Occasionally we find heaven on earth: a place that offers primitive beauty, modern amenities, and—most importantly—access to some of America’s largest mountains and best climbing spots. Such is Owens Valley, California, a magnificent stretch of land between the Sierra and White Mountains.


This Month's Gear Guru Question:
by Backcountry Bob

I'm going to Nepal this fall to climb Ama Dablam and am looking for a very warm pair of gloves for technical climbing up high. Previously, I bought a pair of Black Diamond Ice gloves, but they are not very warm when it gets below 10F. I want something that has good flexibility for handling ropes and equipment, but must be warm too. I'm expecting temperatures in the -20F range. What do you recommend?

I am looking to buy a new pack for this up coming ice climbing season. I would like this pack to be good for ice climbing, rock climbing and a daypack.
