I'm curious if any other man suffers from the same syndrome I'm currently experiencing (or women for that matter). I've noticed parallels in both my mountain climbing adventures and the women I've dated. When it comes to climbing, I develop an infatuation with a climb that I haven't done before, and it won't go away till I summit, yes I'm most interested in peaks with some sort of notoriety or mystique about them (we'll call ...

Trying to create a list of the most climbable mountains. By that I mean, mountains that are straightforward/safe/walkup-like, and without the hazards of glaciers/seracs/avalanches/technical climbing.

I've created this list just based on hearsay, it isn't meant to be exhaustive or anything. Looking for things generally above 14k.

Mt Fuji
Mt Ararat
Mt Elbrus
Pico De Orizaba
Damavand
Kilimanjaro
Aconcagua

During February, a large portion of the nation, including the West Coast, Central and Southern Plains, Midwest, Southeast, and much of the East Coast had temperatures near the period of record (1895-present) average. The northern tier of the country, mainly along the U.S.-Canadian border as well as the Gulf Coast were warmer than average. Below-average temperatures were anchored in the southwestern United States. A large portion of the West was drier than average while the ...

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to plan a trip for 3-4 days of climbing within the next few weeks...I live in a very flat state, so I'm willing to fly anywhere in North America. I'm looking for climbs comparable to the Mittellegi Ridge both in terms of climbing style and difficulty. I don't really know what meets those requirements and is in condition this time of year. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I just got a new computer with windows 8 and found out it won't install my National Geographic TOPO! maps of California. Only works up to windows 7. Bummer since I use it all the time. Anybody got any suggestions on how I can access it on the new computer without buying a yearly subscription to the whole US topos for 50 bucks a year?

I now feel qualified to do a mountain / route page since I have proxy summited :roll:

For a lot of people, photography is an integral part of climbing. It's how we look back on our trips years later and how we share our passion with friends and family. Yet so often when I'm looking at photos with friends I hear them say things like "The picture really doesn't do it justice." or "It looked way bigger in real life." I've learned a lot of things over the years that have helped ...

My wife and I are attempting to climb all the Fifty Classic Climbs of North America. This is something that no one has done before. We are making films of the adventure along the way, and posting them for free on our webpage http://www.smileysproject.comand any other pages that would like to embed them.

We have completed 40 of the 50, and this summer are hoping to climb and film 7 more climbs. I launched a ...
