With its slim tube diameter, the Makalu Cork Lite has a weight of only 254 g (9 oz) per pole and is infinitely adjustable from 110 to 130 cm using the durable and time-tested Speed Lock Plus lever system. This collapsible and durable 3-section pole is crafted from HTS 6.5 aluminum, providing exceptional durability and dependability no matter where your next adventure takes you.

The Wild and Remote Wind River Range
     We set out from the comfort of our day jobs to experience a new place—a new horizon. We headed north and then west to the Wind River Range of Wyoming. With alternating sounds of good tunes, good conversations, and the constant ‘whirr’ of rubber on the road, we made our way to the trailhead. As the sun slipped lower...
The Dream Line: Hilaree Nelson’s Historic First Descent of the Lhotse Couloir
  Story by Hilaree Nelson   Photos by Nick Kalisz, Dutch Simpson and The North Face. All rights reserved.   I’m always in awe of the things I obsess over, especially when the lens is through hindsight. Mostly because in the moment, when the idea first takes hold, when the dreams start waking me up at night, when the secret planning starts to form...
Tough Enough in Madagascar
  Words by Nina Caprez, photos by Jan Novak   Climbing has this ability of showing us what is really going on inside of us, of bringing our ego to the light, and that’s often painful.   Standing at the bottom of the wall, I was realizing this. Realizing I had not really faced this type of challenge as directly and bravely as...
The First Rule of Adventure: Failures are Never Failures
  Story and Photography by Eric Larsen   They were hard questions to receive: “How do you know when to pull the plug on an adventure?” “What do you learn when you come up short?”   I think that both of these topics are relevant, interesting and worthwhile; however, the timing of the inquiry—a few weeks after I returned from a “failed” expedition...

Winter Escapes: Eric Larsen’s Top 5 Places for Snowshoe Adventures
  By Eric Larsen      Some people look at winter and see bone-chilling cold, bad driving conditions and more, but if youre anything like me you see winter as the great leveler—literally. Snow evens out the bumps, stumps, roots and rocks of any trail, and covers up undergrowth and shrubs, making the wintry landscape beautiful and perfect for snowshoeing. Still, some...
10 Amazing Places to Snowshoe in North America

The solitude of snowshoeing is also a bonus: there are no crowds, heavy machinery, or endless lift lines. The following destinations are some of the best places to snowshoe in North America, from groomed Nordic tracks and valley floors,...
Training for Antarctica: Polar
  Theres no business like snow business.   Nearly every year in January or February, I make a pilgrimage to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, where I indoctrinate a bevy of aspiring Shackleton wannabes on the finer points of polar travel and winter survival.      For those of you who dont know, I teach a variety of hands-on intensives focused on winter...
