  • Water Bottles

    Water Bottles

    In the bedroom, in the kitchen, multiple in the car, in the bathroom, on your desk at work, on random pieces of furniture throughout the house. There seems to be no place too holy to be affected. In my eyes this is a testimony to true convenience. But to others it is offensive and the true sign of a dirtbag. What am I talking about? Probably not what you want me to talk about.

  • Rocktourage

    Rocktourage

    I find in the outdoor recreation world there are many people that pride themselves on the individualism of their passions. Often times the term "I am not into team sports" is heard. And though I am very sympathetic to this attitude, my eyes were recently opened to the potential of a team style effort in climbing.

  • Smell Ya Later

    Smell Ya Later

    Summertime always brings new scents and sensations. A lot of us associate fresh cut grass, BBQ's and that sweltering smell of asphalt baking in the sun with the easy living of summertime.

  • When You Tie the Knot, Who is on the Other End?

    When You Tie the Knot, Who is on the Other End?

    When talking with my friends about relationships and getting married the discussion usually follows 2 themes. One, "I will never get married, I cannot give up the lifestyle I have." Or two,"I love my wife, but I miss the way it used to be when we were all single." I have never felt this way in my 7 years of marriage. It all comes down to who you are with and what you make of it.

  • Enter Intuition

    Enter Intuition

    Have you ever had the sense that something was about to come undone from a plan you had created? That perhaps the light you were charging towards was indeed an oncoming train?

  • Unluck of the Dutch's Draw

    Unluck of the Dutch's Draw

    A dark gray cloud forms over the Park City ridgeline, bringing intermittent sun and snow showers.  The snowpack is a creamy 6 inches of peace and soulful skiing. Hardly a soul out today, allowing our signatures to remain encrypted in the blizzard of ahhhh's for eternity, which means a few hours today.

  • Are You OK?

    Are You OK?

    I shout, “Are you OK?” as loud as I can but the ripping winds and blinding snow muffle my words. I shout once more but the words never left my mouth.  I’m in shock and think I’m staring at a dead man.

    Adventure Contributor Alex Stoy dishes up more reading enjoyment. WARNING: This piece contains some salty language.

  • Central American Epic Part V

    Central American Epic Part V

    Isla de Tortuga is a beautiful spot to snorkel, lizard lounge on white sand beaches and socialize with foreigners from all parts of the world.  It’s also a place my brother Damian will never forget.  We headed to the Isle to snorkel and swim with 8 people with different accents and ethnic backgrounds including Asians, Colombians, French and an old enemy, Montezuma.

    How to Make Your Road Trip 40 Percent Better

    A couple of months ago I stumbled upon semi-rad.comSemi-rad.com is a website that showcases the work of writer Brendan Leonard and in his words, "The relentless pursuit of the everyman's (and everywoman's) adventure." This was the first story I read on his site and have now re-read it again and again. Anyone who has ever been on a road trip knows exactly what Brendan is talking about in this piece. Brendan was kind enough to let us repost some of his work here on GearGenius.com. Take a couple of minutes to read what I consider some inspired writing.
