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.

There wasnt any data to...

You’ve Never Seen a Hiking Shoe Like This: Merrell SpeedARC Surge Boa Review
　　The frantically waving, stout brown tail in front of me tick-tocks too fast to set a proper jogging cadence, but it does add its own gleeful encouragement to my swift downhill hike. 　　Leica — GearJunkies famous German shorthaired pointer — and her four paws made easier work of North Table Mountains snaking trail, but I doubted they offered the same bounding ease...
Stay Warm on the Coldest Ski Days: Stellar Equipment Free Down Parka Review

Watch: Death-Defying Winch-Propelled Road Gap Attempt Goes Off the Rails
　　Most people would shudder at the idea of launching themselves on skis into the air and across a road. But using a gas-powered winch to ramp up your speed for a world record-sized road gap attempt?

Gravel Brands Are Failing Women Riders
　　Every single bike brand will tell you that more women on bikes is an important goal. Then many of those same brands will offer smaller bikes with build kits, specifically handlebars, that aren’t appropriate for smaller riders.
