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.

The Best Running Shorts for Women
　　After shoes, running shorts are the most important and personal piece of a runner’s kit. The right shorts will disappear on the run and comfortably carry everything you need; the wrong ones will chafe, cling, bounce, sag, ride up, and generally make your run miserable, especially in heat and humidity. We searched for, and found, shorts that can handle the...
Luxurious, Sporty, but Awful Off-Road: 2025 Mazda CX-70 Review
　　The 2025 Mazda CX-70 is a CX-90 with fewer seats and less on-paper cargo space. Its also a lot more than that, and while it might be confusing for anyone who spends as much time reading about cars as I do, it might actually make more sense than simply selling a CX-90 with the option of two rows or three....
British Man Claims Crocs Marathon World Record
　　Chris Howett, more aptly known as Chris in Crocs in his latest video, set himself an ambitious goal. Running the Manchester Marathon, sub-3 hours in Crocs. 　　To add an extra degree of intrigue, Howett has never run a marathon —in any footwear— before. 　　Adorned in rubber ducky-yellow Crocs with a lightning McQueen charm (and matching socks), Howett was fully aware...
Camp Kitchen in a Box: iKamper Aioks Review
　　Organization is trending in the world of camp kitchens. People are tired of fumbling around for pots and pans so they can cook their kids pancakes by the lake. 　　The term “camp kitchen” once led my mind to milk crates and storage bins — and a camp stove that would never be as clean as the day it was bought....

These Skiers Just Made the Most Impressive First Descent of the Decade

This Grandmother Swam 30 Miles Through Shark-Infested Waters to Set a Record
　　Last week I read that a 55-year-old woman named Amy Appelhans Gubser had swum from San Francisco to the Farallon Islands—the craggy archipelago at the center of Susan Caseys epic 2005 book The Devils Teeth. Whenever I read about the Farallones, I envision the school bus-sized great white sharks that swim in the murky waters around the islands, which Casey...
Kona Bicycles’ Comeback: Founders Buy Dying Brand Back
　　Kona Bicycles tore down its display at last months Sea Otter Classic, one of the largest cycling industry gatherings.

It felt like a dark omen of things yet to come. 　　But just shy of a month after what...
Not All Elite Athletes Are of the Human Variety
　　Anyone who has played fetch with a dog knows the canine potential for running and jumping—and that a dog’s enthusiasm can outlast your arm. “Dogs use oxygen more efficiently than humans,” says  Dr. RuthAnn Lobos (DVM, CCRT, CVAT) and senior veterinarian at Nestle Purina PetCare. “That increased efficiency gives their muscles the fuel they need for energy and endurance.” And...
