Rock Blitz 15 Backpack (Fall 2023)
$44.96
Description

  A worthy addition to any multi-pitch kit, the Rock Blitz 15 is designed to move with you pitch after pitch, carrying all the essentials to the summit. Featuring BD's signature Blitz-style main opening and a side zip pocket for quick on-route access to a phone, topo, or camera, this pack also has a stripped-down profile for moving fast on big lines. The top closure strap doubles as a rope carry once you summit, and external hydration hose routing gives you the option of staying hydrated on the send. The pack's EVA padded shoulder straps and back panel make for all-day comfort, while the sternum strap and waist belt are fully removable to save weight on fast and light pushes.

Footprint sold separately.

On the Front Lines of NYC’s ‘Kittenpocalypse’
  We think of New York as having a rat problem, but cats are doing just as much damage. They hunt staggering numbers of birds, they carry parasites that cause birth defects, they spread diseases that wash into the ocean and kill sea otters and seals. NYC’s cat population is exploding. Reporter Meg Duff investigates what, if anything, might be done...
The Best Wireless Earbuds Under $50 of 2024
  We like to think were fairly easy on our electronics. But when it comes to reviews, there’s a certain perverse pleasure in seeing just how much abuse a piece of gear can take. Especially cheaper items, which can be pushed to the limits without sweating your wallet.   And speaking of sweat and punishment, perhaps no tool in our kits has...
To Build Muscle, It’s the Sets That Count
  Earlier this year, I wrote a column on the “minimal effective dose” of strength training. Remarkably, newbie lifters can make gains with as little as one set of six to 15 reps per week—on average, at least. But average results don’t tell the full story. Some people will gain more than average; others will gain less. If you’re a typical...
Cody Townsend Ends “The Fifty” with 46 Ski Descents Complete
  “Not the last line, just the last episode,” Cody Townsend stated about halfway through episode no. 46 in his ski mountaineering series, “The Fifty,” which was released this morning (3/20).   And that’s pretty much the gist. This is the end of “The Fifty” as we know it—there will be no more regularly scheduled programming—but Townsend made it clear that he...
This Bracket Ranks the Worst Items in Your Recycling Bin
  First, the good news: despite what you might hear, recycling is not broken and it does work. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the American recycling rate climbed from 6.4 percent in 1960 to 32.1 percent in 2018. Woohoo! Pat yourself on the back everyone.   But wait, there’s bad news too. As I’ve written about before, this dramatic uptick means...
Your Ski Season May Get Drastically Shorter
  We get it: It’s hard to hear bad news about how global warming is affecting the sport we love, especially when Mammoth stayed open into August and Alta broke historic snow total records just last season. Yet we still have to heed to what science is telling us, which is that U.S. winters are indeed getting shorter and shorter.   A...

Finland Tops Happiest Countries List Again, and Is Offering a Free Trip
  For the seventh year running, Finland has been named the happiest country in the world by the United Nations’ World Happiness Report. The Nordic nation has long been known for its sauna culture, but the Finns’ enduring well-being goes beyond warm rooms and cold plunges. Some Finns have told the press that their citizens aren’t exactly happy so much as content...
The Best Work Pants for Women of 2024
  Women in hands-on industries often turn to men’s workwear to get by. But the landscape of women’s workwear is quickly changing, and with that, choice follows. There are now brands dedicated to finding the perfect balance between fit and function for women’s workwear. Gone are the days of needing to buy pants too big so our hips would fit, but...
Blowhole the Sled Dog Became a Social Media Star—But Was He a Criminal First?
  If you’ve never heard the legend of Blowhole, I can tell you all about it, because I was there from the start.   My husband and I are dogsledders. Wisconsin-based, though we travel; when your life revolves around sled dogs, you’re always chasing snow. We met Blowhole in April 2018. I had entered the Kobuk, an unsupported, 440-mile race between seven...
Pierce Brosnan Broke the Rules in Yellowstone. The Punishment Is Not Enough
  The celebrity trial of the century, this was not.   On Thursday March 14, a district judge in Wyoming named Stephanie A. Hambrick presided over the court case of Irish movie star Pierce Brosnan—yes, he of James Bond fame. Brosnan, 70, was accused of breaking sacrosanct rules of decorum in Yellowstone National Park during his visit there on November 1. The Park...
A Chronic Illness Upended My Life. Could I Still Run a Marathon?
  While I was getting ready for a friend’s birthday party last year, a podcast came on about how almost anyone could run a marathon. There are few things I enjoy more than pestering my friends to do absurd things with me, so I spent the night trying to convince them that a 26.2-mile race could be fun.   I was probably...
