I'm looking for some scree slopes for some research and was hoping for some recommendations. Not inside a National Park or designated wilderness (not allowed to collect rocks from those locations).

Later, it's snowy and he's climbing on something like Ben Nevis. Hikes down, hopes on his motorbike and drives away. It's a fantasy of an idea day, but ...
Hi, I fully aware that weather is subject to change, but I`m planning a climbing trip to Grand Teton sometimes between end of June and mid-July. Generally speaking, and would like to get a feel of what we can expect generally: - what type of routes would be good (ice, mixed, rock)? - What type of weather should we expect (temperature wise, afternoon storms more frequent?) - Are routes such as Black Ice Couloir, Owen ...
Hi everyone, me and my friend are going to be travelling to Ecuador this upcoming June in 2024 in hopes of summiting some volcanoes out there. We attempted Chimborazo last September and turned around at 6,015m due to improper acclimatization.
