Description

  Dedicated, durable and designed for ice cragging, mixed ascents and cold-weather expeditions, the Mission 45 is Black Diamond's toughest alpine pack. Featuring an updated BD X-rip 420d fabric with UTS™ coating, this pack is now ultra-durable to withstand season after season of mountain abuse.

  The Mission also provides a balanced carry thanks to its SwingArm shoulder straps, and fully strippable waistbelt, lid and frame-sheet. The new custom metal dogbone ice tool attachment provides secure attachment for technical ice tools and mountaineering axes while a front crampon pouch and a tuck-away rope strap secure gear to the outside. Finally, a drawcord skirt provides a second defense against spindrift and light precip.

In a news release on Monday, the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) confirmed it...
A Man, a Van, and 700 Running Shoes
  It’s only 10 A.M., and Aaron Olbur is already breaking a sweat. Partly to blame is the San Diego sun, which even in December shines hot and hard on the asphalt parking lot. The other reason is Olbur’s hustle. With the help of his team of four, the 39-year-old hauls out big metal rolling racks containing 700 boxes of running...
It’s Time to Give Up on the Longevity Experiment
  Last fall, tech entrepreneur and multi-millionaire Bryan Johnson spent two hours having all the plasma in his body removed. There was nothing wrong with his plasma; he simply hoped that replacing it would help him achieve eternal youth.  So, despite very limited scientific evidence, Johnson swapped it all for a protein-based fluid called albumin.   It’s not the first time Johnson’s pursuit...

The Great Playlist Debate: Music or No Music in Yoga Class?
  Yoga classes these days are as diverse as the personalities drawn to them. And in recent years, one of the most polarizing topics among teachers and students everywhere is the use of music in yoga.

Field Watch Elevated: Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian Review
  I reached up onto the granite boulder and placed my hands in a small crack. Finding a decent foothold, I pulled myself upward, shifting my weight in a familiar, if rusty, fashion. I felt the bracelet of my watch press into the rock and reminded myself to use my fingers, not my wrist.   The Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian shined...
