  • Bio:

    I love anything to do with mountains. Trail running, rock climbing, and hiking/backpacking are my personal faves. I'm going to do some winter ascents of some CO 14ers this winter, which should be a fun challenge!

The North Face Solaris 35 Backpack - 2150cu in

October 22, 2009

I would say either. I own the Solaris and would use it for both, and the Terra looks almost the same. I'd prefer the extra space, so my vote is for the Solaris.

Patagonia Storm Light Jacket - Women's

October 7, 2009

This coat is designed for warm weather use, so I doubt it will be very warm on its own. You can always layer though, and that might make it work for you.

The North Face Terra 60 Backpack - 3700-3850cu in

October 4, 2009

Nope, it's dimensions are too big packed. Even empty the frame will probably make it too tall. I have the Solaris 35 and it is just small enough to fit.

Scarpa Vision Climbing Shoe

September 29, 2009

I'm looking to buy my first pair of climbing shoes, and i'm pretty sure it's going to be these. I'm just wondering how to size for them. I'm looking for a moderately aggressive fit, and i wear a 10/10.5 in Salomon. Any suggestions?

I use it for school, and it works well enough. It's not super cool looking, and not very big, but it does the job.

Rating for this product: 2 September 23, 2009

It's big and bulky, and not very comfortable. I will keep it because it is cheap, but definitely nothing to use for backpacking!

Very warm and grippy

The North Face Chilkats Winter Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 September 23, 2009

Great boots! I love them! Only two problems: the top lace-hooks dig into my ankles if I don't lace them just perfect. Second, once the snow melts on the boots, it tends to seep through.

I like this hat! Warm and comfortable, my only complaint is that it is just a little short. It doesn't cover the bottom of my earlobes. Otherwise, SWEET!

Rating for this product: 4 September 23, 2009

I really like these gloves because they are warm, waterproof, and windproof. BUT, they aren't all that warm even when doing aerobic exercises. I used them in -5F weather in CO while snowshoeing and my hands were cool. Nothing bad, but I was hoping for a little more.

Rating for this product: 5 September 23, 2009

I love this jacket to death. If I could make it my skin, i would. It fits perfect, breathes, sheds water, insulates, and looks amazing! I've worn this in -20F weather on a run and stayed warm with only a long sleeve underneath. I would easily pay $220 for this jacket. BUY IT!!!

Solid little pack

CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack - 200cu in

CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack - 200cu in

Rating for this product: 4 September 23, 2009

I really love this pack. I use it for running to hiking. It has just barely enough storage space to last for a long day hike. It vent along the back moderately well. My only gripe is that it's hard to run with because it tends to flop and the straps won't stay tight.

The North Face Solaris 35 Backpack - 2150cu in

Rating for this product: 5 September 23, 2009

I've had this pack for 2 years now and I've done everything from travel to Africa, to summiting 14ers in Colorado, to using as a carry-on when going back home over school breaks. It fits me perfect, but I could see it being a bit small for some taller chaps. It carries like air, and it packs well. I've never had a doubt that it could take hell and not break. The only nice addition would be some sleeping pads loops on the bottom.
