    Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air!
  • Bio:

    I'm currently stuck in the city and the only thing that keeps me focused through my school work is knowing that my next trip is just around the corner. I love the beauty of the natural earth, there is nothing better than breaking free of the stress and structure of jobs and school and hustle and bustle of city life, to be free in the mountains and waters that are rough and rugged!

These knickers are awesome climbing pants, especially when climbing sharp rock, where you want your knees covered.
I think they run large. I am 5'7" and 130 and a S was too big, but comfy.

Best Women's Shoe

La Sportiva Miura Vibram XS Grip2 Climbing Shoe - Women's

La Sportiva Miura Vibram XS Grip2 Climbing Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 25, 2011

The women's muira's are the best shoe for slab and face climbs. The rubber is super sticky, the heel is super grippy on heel-hooks, and the arch is nice and high. The padding in the heel makes a huge difference in the fit of the shoe. I have several guy friends that wear the women's shoe because the fit is so good. The aggressive downturn of the shoe also is really nice and the big toe box means you can size down quite a bit. I wear a 8 1/5 street size and I think my 37 Muira's are comfy and maybe a half size too big.

That said, these are not my fav shoes for crack climbing especially in places where the sharp rock eats up the rubber.

Happy climbing!

Good shorts

Mammut Mya Short - Women's

Mammut Mya Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 June 29, 2010

These shorts are great. They are well made and very comfortable. They become a bit loose and no longer sit on my natural waist after wearing which is slightly annoying when climbing because a belt isn't really preferable under a harness. Despite that, I think they are an excellent choice if you are a chick looking for a pair of shorts to climb or hike in.

These fit pretty true to size... I think mine are even a bit small... I wish they were a bit stickier, but they will do the trick

CamelBak Hydrobak Hydration Pack - 1.5L

June 28, 2009

I used a different camelbak on a winter hike and the tube completely frozen... I agree that you have to find a good way to insulate the tube because otherwise you will be carrying dead weight and be thirsty

The North Face Rucky Chucky GTX XCR Trail Running Shoe - Women's

May 11, 2009

This pair does have that very same problem. I've had mine for about a month now and already they are starting to get holes in them. The soles are very sturdy, it's a shame that they have to go to waste because the mesh wont hold up. I was hoping to use them as my trail running shoes, but it looks like they won't make it to the summer.

Merrell Chameleon Arc GTX Shoe - Women's

Merrell Chameleon Arc GTX Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 11, 2009

These are good shoes, but need to be worn in before a big hike. I wear them with wool socks and only get blisters when I push it over 10-15 miles a day. The waterproofing is a major plus too. I wouldn't use them as river shoes, but they hold up beautiful in the mud and rain.

I feel like they run pretty normal. They are really true to size, I am an 8.5 in street shoes and an 8.5 in these was perfect.

The North Face Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Climashield Prism - Women's

May 11, 2009

To my knowledge, the women's model is fit so that there is more room for women's hips and there is more padding in the feet since women tend to have colder toes than men. I wouldn't be offended though.

Rating for this product: 4 May 11, 2009

I love this bag for a few reasons. There is actually a nice concentration of at the head and feet and it is snuggly warm. I used this on part of the Appalachian Trail and it was by far the most comfortable sleeping bag I have ever used especially since I am allergic to actual down.

I want a dry bag to store my DSLR camera in because I would really like to take it on future expeditions. Would you trust this bag to keep such an expensive electronic safe?
