I've seen so many gear lists for Aconcagua with wildly differing opinions on sleeping bags for Aconcagua and it's hard trying to decipher the real info from the 'overkill' recommendations.

Currently my warmest bag is a Sea To Summit Latitude 3 which has a comfort of -10 and a Limit of -17. Basically I'm trying to work out if I'm going to be able to take that and save buying something new (since there is ...

Used 2 separate times. I got this so that my gf could come on trips but she doesn't like backpacking so selling it. In nearly brand new condition.

Spec sheet found on Everest gear .com since I cant post URL links right now.

I would like to get 320 for it.

From what I have gathered (this could be incorrect?), the youngest person to summit all of the contiguous US 14ers did so at 27 (Brian Kalet). See contiguous US 14ers page on SP. I have heard of a few others that have gotten close to lowering this age, but haven't seen any confirmation of this. Feel free to prove me wrong here if you know otherwise ...

Christmas Eve I watched 'The Alpinist' with my wife and daughter. A documentary about Canadian climber Marc-Andre Leclerc, this film features some incredible climbing photography, apparently using drones, although some of the shots defy explanation. I had read some articles about Marc-Andre, but I was not aware that he had died in an avalanche in 2018 until I watched the film. Marc-Andre was famed as a solo climber, so it is ironic that he perished ...

I can only find three books written by U.S highpoint completers.

1.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1933251441
2.https://www.amazon.com/Great-Quest-Fifty-State-Points/dp/1481776703
3. https://www.amazon.com/All-Fifty-Journey-Highest-Point/dp/B09M5HLDST

Anyone know of any others? I'm not interested in guide book, nor books on the subject written by someone who didn't actually do all 50 US state highpoints. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking for trekking peak ideas in and around the Everest region that I could add on to my two other planned climbs. I'm planning on Lobuche and Island Peak, but climbing both of those still allow time for a first peak as an acclimatization effort. I'm not really interested in a climb of the typical 3 Peaks/3 Passes peaks. Does anyone have any ideas for something a bit more technical than those ...
