Small sized Camera

The time has come for a new camera, as mine just died. For the past few years I've been using a Canon PowerShot S400, a pathetic 4 mega pixel small camera. I liked that it was small enough to clip to my harness and take with me climbing or anywhere else. Photos were fine, but colors a bit unrealistic and landscape shots lacked detail. So, I'm for recommendations for an affordable small sized camera to ...

Team Forced to Leave Blinded Climber on Everest descent

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... 88979.html

FS: Marmot CWM -40 sleeping bag

Just got back from Denali and realized I have no use for this sleeping bag anymore since I'm not going back to Denali again and since I live in California where the weather doesn't get very cold.

** Sleeping bag **
This is a -40 Marmot CWM Membrane bag that I purchased a month or two ago from REI (they no longer sell the -40 at this time of year, but REI still sells the ...

GPS - from toy to tool

Hello All -

Wanted to post my experience using a GPS with digital maps in the USA and last summer in Iceland.

My "out of the box" Garmin 60csx was a useful toy in that it showed that there was a highway some 50 miles away and that my truck was in that direction in relation to my present position. Against a beige background. Interesting, but not very helpful.

I then purchased the mapsource set ...

inflatible pad is slippy

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem....?

When I use my inflatable pad, I inevitably wake up the next morning curled up on the bottom 1/4 of the pad. I find I sleep in a cat like fetal position, because my sleeping bag slides downhill on my slippery surface of the inflatable pad. Or in the middle of the night, I find my sleeping bag is moving all over the place.

My sleeping bad ...

Mt. Hood Attempt - Experienced Mountaineer Wanted

Ok – I have a group of folks that will likely end up being 9 to 11 people in total, all beginner mountaineers. All of us are in great shape, and have various degrees of experience in things such as rock climbing or mountaineering but nobody in the group can be qualified as an expert or even intermediate mountaineer. I am really looking to find someone interested in coming along with the group to help ...
