Exploring the Wilderness Areas of Scotland

  Story and Recipe by Kieran Creevy   Images by Cat Vinton      Iron studded wood doors, gnarled and black with age, rise before drawbridge chains: We’re in the tiny fortified village of Villefranche De Conflent, our home for the next few days. Wandering down the narrow streets toward our apartment, we begin to see more elements of ironwork. Shops, bars and...
Trip Report: Climbing in Pakistan’s Karakoram Range
  Travel Chaos Our Pakistan expedition started out with high stress levels, to say the least. Our bags were painstakingly packed—gear organized, packed, organized again, double-checked, and repacked. As we celebrated our last night in the US with some friends in Denver, Colorado before catching our morning flight, Allen received a terrible email—our flight was canceled!   When we had started planning...
Cycling Around the World: Lessons from Living a Nomad Life
  Oscar Wilde said, If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment.

Cycling the Peru Divide in the Andes – with GPX Files
  By Steve Marks, aka the “Malbec Pilgrim”   A few May snowflakes appeared out of nowhere, drifting down and brushing off my jacket as I paused to enjoy the immense vista.

Climbing in the Khumbu
  Words by Sammy Podhurst   Photos by Sammy Podhurst and Anna Pfaff   Climbing in the Himalaya is interesting. There are many layers to the equation here. The acclimatization period requires patience. The lack of resources requires a lot of forethought and pre-planning. There is little infrastructure as far as rescue and medical goes. But at the same time, all of that...
Drifting to Connect: Paddling Canada’s Bloodvein River
