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.

Khumbu Climbing Center Turns 20: Protecting Climbers, Sherpas Since 2004
　　Before the Khumbu Climbing Center (KCC) existed in Nepal, most sherpas who were making a living guiding people up Everest had little to no formal climbing training or mountaineering skills. The KCC changed that. Over the 20 years its existed, this program has had a massive impact on climbing safety in the Himalayas. But its also broadening the future for...
Unparalleled Brightness for the Price (With a Catch): COAST XP40R Flashlight Review
　　I pushed the button, and my eyes squinted into the suddenly very bright night. Good grief, I thought. This Coast XP40R is one shockingly bright flashlight. 　　My buddy was unimpressed — that is, until we compared beams. I shut down the XP40R and let him light up a powerful headlamp with around 1,000 lumens. It didnt hold a candle to...
All-Weather Dog Gear, 3D-Printed Aero Bike, Pint-Sized Onewheel, and More Emerging Gear
　　Sometimes, theres just too much cool outdoor gear — and this is one of those weeks. In fact, this weeks edition is a bit longer than normal to make room for all the good stuff. That means more camping gear, grilling equipment, or adventure apparel to peruse at your leisure. 　　We know its a lot to ask to read about...

　　Goodyear Tire Rubber Company introduced the Assurance line of passenger car tires 20 years ago, and since that time, more than 80 million have been put on the road as OEM and replacement tires. Just last month, a brand-new version of the Assurance WeatherReady model rolled out onto U.S. roadways. 　　According to Goodyear’s internal testing, the second-generation WeatherReady 2 is...

All the Perks of Titanium, Without the Price: BlackHeart Bike Co. Allroad Ti Review
　　Titanium isnt the material that comes to mind for the average cyclist that doesnt count every gram or measure every watt, but thats the target customer for BlackHeart Bike Co. The brand wanted to make owning a forever bike frame accessible to more people. 　　With premium titanium framesets costing $4,000 or more, BlackHearts Allroad Ti, at $2,999, is one of...
National Park Fashion Week: Welcome to Dancing Rangers & Condor Outfits
　　If youre anything like me, then the svelte, overly serious models of New York Fashion Week may leave you feeling rather cold. Its hard to keep a straight face when watching a runway show with the self-importance of a United Nations Security Council meeting. 　　Much better, I think, to watch and support the ironic — yet equally iconic —displays from...
Petzl Recalls Thousands of Harnesses to Prevent ‘Backwards’ Fit Issue
　　A recall from climbing brand Petzl is as much advice as a warning: No matter which harness you have, make sure you know how to use it properly. 　　Petzl has created a redesign for 27,500 climbing harnesses to address a potential fall hazard, according to a recall filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The move comes after the...
The Best Women’s Hunting Pants of 2024
　　Womens hunting pants have to be comfortable while offering protection.They need to move with us while we traverse rugged terrain, keep us warm when the conditions get frosty, and ward off water when the clouds open up. During early-season hunts, we require a pant that keeps us both cool and protected, a big ask from a piece of clothing. 　　You...
2025 Volkswagen Taos Gets More Power, Better Transmission
　　Volkswagens smallest crossover is getting a new face and a new transmission for 2025. The Volkswagen Taos trades its massive grille for something that looks a little more Vee Dub to us, its 1.5L turbo-four gets higher horsepower, and the often-maligned dual-clutch DSG is replaced by a normal automatic. 　　There are some useful content changes too, but theres nothing here...
First-Ever Flips and Whips on a Moving Train: Watch the ‘Red Bull Bike Express’
　　We are all used to stunning two-wheeled sports videos from Red Bull Media House. But the Red Bull Bike Express video hits differently. The rider stays fixed in space while the course moves below, creating a unique visual masterpiece and an incredible challenge to one of the worlds best freeride pilots. 　　Red Bull is no stranger to extreme mountain biking....
