Bio:
Love to free heel when the flakes fall and hit the lines in the summer. Usually rock out Moab cracks and the wasatch range. Getting into whitewater boating and thinking about getting a board this winter. Mountaineering has got me on the Denali bug, so hopefully next couple years I will make it up north.
Grew up in New Mexico and spent a ton of time in Durango setting routes at ACR and drooling over Sequel clothing. - Helpful Votes: 415 Yes - 64 No

Answer to: "how would this compare to the solarport 4.4? "
Solio Classic Solio Solar Charger
June 4, 2008
I tried the solarport and i didn't feel like it lit up a charge that well. so for about the same amount of power you get less bulk with this solio. if your car camping, solarport. solio for hiking.

Suunto Vector Altimeter Watch
March 7, 2008
wanna throw this out there...water resistance. When it says 100 feet, does that mean like I can dive down into the water 100 feet? I just took this watch swimming and pretty sure it binked out after about 30 seconds...almost sounded like a time bomb. thoughts?

Osprey Packs Sojourn 28 Wheeled Convertible Backpack - 4900cu in
March 6, 2008
totally proved my wife wrong. this and the 22 totally carried everything we needed for our trip of 8 days. Super nice features, the pack straps for the pack option are very comfortable and supportive. Just a super solid piece, sure I could have spent the same and gotten a 6 piece set of a ton of junk...but this thing is gonna last forever.

So Nice
Backcountry.com Wool Hooded Jacket - Men's
February 6, 2008
Doesn't have that nasty itchy feel like most wool, just straight up soft. Cut is nice, good comfortable fit and the inside of the sleeve by the wrist has this cuff which is really nice. When you put your hand through it's weird at first but definitely a good call. The logo is placed in a good spot too, I don't feel like I have a goat plastered all over me. This came at a good time cuz I was sick of rockin' my Arcteryx softshell every where I go, time for something low key but that doesn't skimp on quality. Pockets are great too, one thing to know is that the collar rides REALLY high, like up to my nose. If that's not high for you then I guess I'm weird, I dig it though. Pockets have super soft lining, NICE job you guys! you nailed it!

Great pant
Marmot PreCip Pant - Men's
September 14, 2007
Waterproof, true to size, and the zippers are well placed. I wish I would have gotten the full zip, but do what works for you. Great ski pant also, super light, no bulk. Snag it for sure!

Pretty good
AlpineAire Teriyaki Turkey Entree
August 27, 2007
I liked eating this with Chulua hot sauce. It was pretty good by itself. Just stay away from their chicken gumbo, that okra will kill you! Great company of food though, easy to make, of course, and a good taste.

Super support coming your way
Danner Expedition GTX Hiking Boot - Men's
July 11, 2007
These are going to be your traditional stiff momma boot that is very burly and solid. the sole is your classic Vibram which is totally burly. They support very well on the trail and the lugs are great for gripping. I actually took them running with a pack on the other night to train for Rainier and it may sound weird but they were really great for that. Waterproof fabric, solid lacing, great boot. Danner may not be noticed like all the other brands, but it seriously is a killer company with solid boots. I would wear these over a The North Face, Merrel, Vasque, Asolo boot any day.

shovel action
Backcountry Access Tour Shovel System
July 2, 2007
know that the probe isn't like super high quality, but at least its something. Shovel is very durable and light so if your looking for a sweet combo, go for it! I like that its fixed because i do snow caves.

way better then the cinch
Petzl Grigri Belay Device
June 15, 2007
Every time i get to use the grigri i am totally happy with how smooth it feeds the rope and lets the climber come back down. The cinch sucks, cheaper and its a no brainer why. This is the only one to get, also great for route setting for going up and down on the wall.

oakleys have lost their style
Smith Threshold Sunglasses - Interchangeable
June 15, 2007
these are way better then oakleys, stay on your face and smith backs their stuff very well! good about answering their phone and taking care of any issues you may have. the lenses are great to have, had a pair break and bought a new pair in the exact model. I will only get another pair of oakleys when they bring back the original frogskin.

I have the non hoody version
Arc'teryx Alpha Comp Hoody - Men's
June 15, 2007
I wish I had the hoody but the non is ok too. the outer top fabric has been so nice for blocking rain and snow. The bottom is a really nice breathable fabric which makes this great for ski touring and hiking. low key pockets, no weird sizing, its basically two jackets in 1! I like how this doesn't have as much lining as say the gamma which gives it a good comfortable fit, rather then cutting off the circulation in your arms.

Great jacket
Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's
June 15, 2007
I had the alpha lt for a while and thought i would go lighter with this one. Super nice buy! I love how it doesn't have any pockets, it just makes so much since and the colors are totally weirdo. Great for the rain, snow, whatever, gore-tex paclite is a super nice fabric, don't think its not as durable as XCR.
