Calling all hikers with a yen for high, lonely places: you can bag that peak if you want to. Scrambling is the bridge between hiking and rock climbing. It involves off-trail travel-making your way over rough terrain and sometimes using your hands for balance and safety on nearly vertical rock-but does not require technical climbing gear. 75 Scrambles in Oregon will take you to some of the same summits that climbers enjoy-but by less extreme routes.

These scrambles (short, easy introductory routes and longer, more difficult scrambles) are generously spread across Oregon: the Cascades; Klamath Mountains (SW corner); East Cascades; the Wallowas, Elkhorns, and Blue Mountains (NE); the Strawberry Mountains near John Day; and remote desert ranges (SE corner). Routes are rated for difficulty and skill level. Where nonstandard equipment such as an ice axe, crampons, rope, or helmet are advised, that is noted route by route.

Barbara I. Bond is a trip leader for the Mazamas, an outdoor activities and conservation club. She is a professional writer and lives in Portland, Oregon. You can find Barbara on FACEBOOK, or you can visit her web site for more information at OregonScrambles.com.

Pit Vipers Exciters: Thru-Hiker Tested, Hurricane Approved
　　Cycling, rock climbing, labwork, construction, running, and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail: My Pit Vipers Exciters have done it all. After ditching everyday glasses for contacts, I discovered the Exciters more than 6 years ago. I needed sunglasses to keep me safe from UV (and potentially flying objects). 　　After several years of testing different shades, Im convinced the Pit Viper Exciters...
The Best Sleeping Bags for Camping in Comfort
　　As far as we’re concerned, camping near your car is all about comfort—save the rehydrated meals and paper-thin foam sleeping bags for the backcountry. And if there’s any part of your kit you shouldn’t cut corners with, it’s your bedding. The scenery always looks that much nicer after a good night of sleep. 　　The good news about shopping for sleeping...
Last-Minute Filson Deals: Spring Sale Ends Soon
　　The apparel and gear from Filson are high-quality and long-lasting. Thats why the prices are so high, and the sales are so rare. This brand made its mark by designing some of the most rugged workwear and outdoor apparel. Just check out our review of its Tin Chaps —which have lasted our tester 40 years and counting. 　　This week, Filson...
Discover the Best of Asheville with Advice from Local Experts
　　Over the past two decades, Asheville’s reputation as one of the country’s premier adventure hubs has been built on its unique combination of terrain and culture. There just aren’t many communities like this—surrounded by nature but also serving up a deeply rooted arts and food culture. That means it’s as easy to access hiking, biking, fly-fishing, and paddling as it...
To Repel Ticks, Hikers Should Smell Like Ants
　　Are you going for a hike? Don’t forget your bottle of ant musk. 　　A new scientific study suggests that some species of ticks—those Lyme Disease-spreading creepy crawlies—are scared off by pheromones produced by ants. Now, a team of researchers is working to synthetically replicate these ant excretions and sell them as tick repellent. Because unlike DEET or Citronella or other...
2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans: More Tech and More eSprinter Configurations
　　Mercedes-Benz is upgrading the tech on its Sprinter vans for 2025 with more features that should make driving the big vans easier. They should be especially helpful if youve converted your van for a high-adventure and outdoors lifestyle. 　　The electric eSprinter is also now available with more body configurations, and while that might sound van-life-ready, its only with a new...
Sisay Lemma and Hellen Obiri Just Won the Boston Marathon
　　Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia almost did the unthinkable at the Boston Marathon on Monday morning, while American Emma Bates sure tried to. 　　The 33-year-old Sisay not only ran away from a very strong field to win, but he briefly teased spectators and fans with an unfathomably fast pace. Lemma, who entered the race as the fourth-fastest marathoner in history (2:01:48),...
How Everest Was Turned into an Industry
　　When Will Cockrell told me he was writing a book about Mount Everest, he couldn’t see the roll of my eyes. But he’s perceptive enough to have picked up on my lukewarm commitment to being interviewed, and so I felt a need to explain that there are already quite a few Everest books out there. My coffee table is in...
The Best Tents for Camping in Comfort and Style
　　Stooping in a lightweight, minimalist, backpacking tent while camping out of your car isn’t much fun. Neither is getting blown over in a flimsy, big-box-store mega shelter. With that in mind, we tested seven new larger camping tents this past year in a quest to find the most luxurious, well-designed, and storm-worthy camping tents for lounging in style, no matter...

The Sandal of My Globetrotting Childhood: Chaco Z/1 Sandal Review
　　Long before I thought of myself as an outdoorsy person (or had any understanding of what that meant), I was traipsing through Aztec ruins in Mexico, swimming across jungle rivers in India, and hiking through Nepalese mountains in my trusty Chacos. In fact, I only recently learned that the companys iconic model was called the Z Sandal. 　　To me, theyve...
