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 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. Should classes boast banging soundtracks or should the room be as silent as a temple? 　　Spoiler: There is no universally right answer. Whether you’re a...
How My Dog Saved My Husband After a Ski Accident
　　My husband, Dave, went skiing down a forested slope behind our cabin near Collingwood, Ontario. It was a rare perfect day when he set out with our dog, Phoebe. The deep powder lured them both. 　　Phoebe loves to ski. She’s a golden retriever, and a homebody, with traits bred into her for domestic life. Her namesake is a character in Friends, and...
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...
Canada Responds to American Pacific Crest Trail Border Ban: U.S. Did It First
　　Canada’s border authority expanded on its decision to bar Pacific Crest Trail hikers from crossing into the country earlier this week, noting that its new policy mirrors the United States’ refusal to permit southbound hikers to begin their hikes by crossing the border into American territory. 　　In a news release on Monday, the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) confirmed it...

Should Female Athletes Track Their Periods? Here’s What the Science Says.
　　When Laura Philipp won the 2024 Ironman World Championship, one of the first things she talked about in her post-race speech was period tracking. 　　“For this race, a lot of things were actually coming together,” she said in her finish-line interview after the win. “So for example, I was in the first half of my menstrual cycle, and I always...
Lindsey Vonn’s Comeback to Ski Racing, Explained
　　When Lindsey Vonn announced her return to the U.S. Ski Team this past November, alpine racing fans were stunned. In 2024 Vonn turned 40 and also underwent a partial knee replacement. There is no precedent for a downhill ski racer to return to the World Cup circuit at that age, with an artificial joint. A comeback like Vonns is by and...
I Had a Heart Attack While Running. This Is What It Felt Like.
　　My favored route to the top of Mount Sanitas, in Boulder, Colorado, gains some 1,200 feet in just over a mile. It starts on the aptly named Goat Trail and then climbs the East Ridge Trail to the 6,800-foot summit. There are much better trails for running in Boulder—less rocky, less steep—but I prefer this route up Sanitas because it...
Partners in the Outdoors: Rock Climbing
　　Andrew King excels at a number of outdoor pursuits, from surfing big waves to climbing exposed peaks. But it wasn’t until after meeting Dominique Barry—a fellow surfer, accomplished rock climber, and runner-up in Max’s inaugural season of the reality competition The Climb—that his skill and love for sport climbing grew to new heights. 　　“We’ve come so far working together,” says King, who’s originally...
Trans-European Kayak Expedition: Duo Paddles, Portages From Ireland to Istanbul
　　If there’s one attitude that’s nearly universal among adventure athletes, it’s a pathological commitment to optimism. Irishmen Johnny Coyne and Liam Cotter possess this quality in spades. In the last 5 months, theyve camped in freezing cold temperatures beneath the Cliffs of Dover, hauled loaded kayaks uphill for 100 miles through Germanys Black Forest, and when they knocked a hole...

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...
