ProView – Grivel North Machine Ice Tool

June 11, 2019January 7, 2021Climbing, Grivel, Ice Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews Zach Eiten 2 Comments on ProView – Grivel North Machine Ice Tool

Performance These tools are equally at home on moderate to steep ice as they are on mixed or dry routes.  I have climbed for two seasons (200+ routes) with these tools and have been impressed with their performance each and…

ProView- Salewa Wildfire Edge

June 6, 2019January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews, Salewa Outdoor Prolink Pro Leave a Comment on ProView- Salewa Wildfire Edge

Slabby approaches in the desert heat, snowy approaches in the alpine and everything in between, I put the Salewa Wildfire Edge MS through the wringer. Over the last month, I was fortunate enough to test this approach shoe on various…

ProView – Five Ten Aleon

June 5, 2019January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Climbing, Five Ten, ProView Gear Reviews Forrest Stavish Leave a Comment on ProView – Five Ten Aleon

As a long time climber, I’ve recently gotten back into bouldering and steep sport climbing as a way to train for longer and harder routes. I needed a climbing shoe that would give me the performance of an aggressive shoe…

May 30, 2019January 7, 2021Camping, Climbing, Outdoor Research, ProView Gear Reviews, Running, Snow AJ Verkouw Leave a Comment on ProView – Outdoor Research Alpine Onset Hoody

Swoosh- click, swoosh, click, swoosh, click. My skis gracefully slide forward into deep fluffy snow, leaving a satisfyingly crisp imprint, before my heel drops and the next step begins. For me, there is no more satisfying rhythm than that of…

ProView – Evolv Rebel

April 8, 2019February 3, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Climbing, Evolv, ProView Gear Reviews Joe Anderson 2 Comments on ProView – Evolv Rebel

As a Registered Nurse, I see countless things that are disturbing and disgusting. Feet being one of them. They cause people pain and discomfort and are just plain weird. It takes energy to find shoes that work. Those of you…

ProView – Outdoor Research Climbing Glove Round Up

March 23, 2019March 23, 2021Climbing, Outdoor Research, ProView Gear Reviews Outdoor Prolink Pro Leave a Comment on ProView – Outdoor Research Climbing Glove Round Up

Often overlooked, belay gloves can make or break a day of climbing. From full days at the crag to long multi-pitch routes, belay gloves should always come along in your pack. Nothing ruins a good day of climbing like dirty,…

February 26, 2019January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, RaidLight Outdoor Prolink Pro 2 Comments on ProView – RaidLight Hyperlight Windproof Jacket

Training for the Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Run 55k this summer has taken my trail running to new heights (literally) and given me ample opportunity to test the RaidLight Hyperlight Windproof Jacket. Training at higher altitudes brings a new set…

May 23, 2018January 2, 2021Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews Outdoor Prolink Pro Leave a Comment on ProView – Cassin Torre 70 Haul Bag

Cassin has finally released its first haul bag, the Cassin Torre 70: a mid-sized, super durable bag designed for Grade V, 2-day big wall ascents. I am fortunate enough to live and work in Yosemite for half of the year,…
