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.

phaenom Wants to Upend the Ski Boot Market, and It Just Might
　　It was mashed potatoes at Loveland Ski Resort. Spring conditions were in full effect, with lots of soft corn, slush snow, bright sunshine, and balmy air. The conditions provided lots of variability and some tricky terrain. For a brand new company hoping to grab market share from the giants of the ski industry, the conditions were perfect to prove some...
5 Easy Steps to Upgrade Your Camp Kitchen
　　We’ve all been there. You relax into your camp chair to eat the boxed mac ’n’ cheese you made over a camp stove when the aroma of a delicious home-cooked meal comes wafting across the campground.

A Survivalist’s Secrets for Cooking over a Campfire
　　In her monthly column, The Survivalist, Jessie Krebs writes about staying alive in dangerous backcountry scenarios. Krebs is a former Air Force S.E.R.E (survival, evasion, resistance, and escape) instructor and owner of O.W.L.S. Skills. 　　Many aspiring campers have romantic visions of meals cooked over a wood-fueled open fire. Then, they try it. The result is often bread with a gooey...

The Best Adventures in Minnesota Require a Paddle
　　There are a lot of ways to experience the depth of a wild landscape: hiking, horseback riding, biking, off-roading. But none offer the same elegance and simplicity as paddling. Which is fortunate, because paddling also happens to be the best way to indulge in the vast solitude of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). With more than 1,200 miles...
This Japanese Gear Can Help Reduce Camping Stress
　　I love camping with my family, but if I’m being totally honest, it stresses me out. I used to think the stress came from a lack of planning, too much gear, or just generalized anxiety, but have begun to realize it has much more to do with my—and many Americans’—approach to being outside. 　　These thoughts were refined during a recent...
Who would have won Tokyo 2020 under the Paris 2024 scoring system?
In exactly one hundred days, sport climbing will once-again grace the Olympic Games, and the search for the next Olympic sport climbing champions will begin. When climbing debuted at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, there were a number of memorable moments. Janja cruising her way to the gold, Akiyo bowing out of competition climbing with a bronze in front of...

5 Tips for Leveling Up Your Trail Running
　　Many of us get into trail running because of its non-linear, anti-cookie cutter method of training. Sometimes it’s less about miles and times and more about focusing on where your feet—or hands if you’re scrabbling—are going.. However, that can also be the most frustrating aspect to accept, especially as we strive to improve. Unlike road running, where distances and times...
Patagonia’s ‘The Shitthropocene’: Why Everything Is Sh*t and How We Can Fix the Problem
　　Its ironic that a brand selling clothes, gear, and apparel would produce a film about why consumerism is ruining the planet. But thats not unusual for the brand Patagonia. Its latest feature documentary, The Shitthropocene, takes a satirical and brutally honest look at our culture of stuff and the problems it has created. 　　You might have noticed that a lot...
Caitlin Clark Just Won an Award Named for a Man Who Wouldn’t Have Let Her Play

Sullivan Award, an honor issued by the Amateur Athletics Union (AAU) to the best amateur American athlete at the collegiate or Olympic level.
