Analysts say Russian meteorological stations cover most of the country's territory, and that the Hadley Center had used data submitted by ...

I was wondering if anyone has an experience thermo-molding the Sportiva liners at home? I wore the boots for the first time this weekend out of the box and while they fit awesome in the shop, I was not happy with the fit on the trails. I'm thinking the liners need to be baked.

Thanks for that squish.

I dislocated my elbow in a freak accident (not climbing ironically enough) a little over a week ago. Had to be the worst pain I've felt, and recovery so far has sucked hardcore. My forearm feels totally screwed and it hurts to pick up a dinner plate... In another week I''ll have an mri so I'll know the extent of the damage, but the doctor told me I probably wouldn't be able to climb or ...

I picked this jacket up earlier this year for a mountaineering trip to Bolivia. It worked great, but I just don't have any use for it now. It is a Black XL Mountain Hardwear SubZero Down Jacket with a removable hood. It is in very good quality. Feel free to ask any questions. Selling it for $130 + shipping. Retail is $275.
