  Ultralight compression sack

  The Air Compressor is Granite Gear's solution for the ultralight packer who wants to save weight by compressing gear and carrying a smaller pack. If you’re familiar with their Rock Solid compression stuff sacks, you know they’ve been making the best packing systems since their beginning in 1986. If you think about it, these stuff sacks need to handle a lot of stress, and it’s no easy feat to shave ounces, but that’s exactly what they've done. 210 denier lid and arches are beefy where it’s needed.

  The Bloc shape is an innovation to help you pack more efficiently inside your pack. Compared to a round shape, the bloc fits better into the corners of your pack, they stack nicely, and eliminate all the dead air that can happen when you try to pack with round stuff sacks. Less dead air means better load stability, quicker pack loading, and the possibility of carrying the same amount of gear in a smaller pack.

  Sold in various assorted colors; each sold separately.

Footprint sold separately.

The First Rule of Adventure: Failures are Never Failures
  Story and Photography by Eric Larsen   They were hard questions to receive: “How do you know when to pull the plug on an adventure?” “What do you learn when you come up short?”   I think that both of these topics are relevant, interesting and worthwhile; however, the timing of the inquiry—a few weeks after I returned from a “failed” expedition...
Training for Antarctica: Polar
  Theres no business like snow business.   Nearly every year in January or February, I make a pilgrimage to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, where I indoctrinate a bevy of aspiring Shackleton wannabes on the finer points of polar travel and winter survival.      For those of you who dont know, I teach a variety of hands-on intensives focused on winter...
The Wild and Remote Wind River Range

Tough Enough in Madagascar
  Words by Nina Caprez, photos by Jan Novak   Climbing has this ability of showing us what is really going on inside of us, of bringing our ego to the light, and that’s often painful.   Standing at the bottom of the wall, I was realizing this. Realizing I had not really faced this type of challenge as directly and bravely as...
The Dream Line: Hilaree Nelson’s Historic First Descent of the Lhotse Couloir
  Story by Hilaree Nelson   Photos by Nick Kalisz, Dutch Simpson and The North Face. All rights reserved.   I’m always in awe of the things I obsess over, especially when the lens is through hindsight. Mostly because in the moment, when the idea first takes hold, when the dreams start waking me up at night, when the secret planning starts to form...

The Carretera Austral by Bicycle: A Wild Ride through Chilean Patagonia

The Thru
  By Renee Patrick   The quintessential Oregon that comes to mind for many is one of wet, lush forests, rocky coastlines, and snowy peaks, but on the other side of the Cascade Mountains lies a high desert landscape that covers almost half of the state.

Winter Escapes: Eric Larsen’s Top 5 Places for Snowshoe Adventures
  By Eric Larsen      Some people look at winter and see bone-chilling cold, bad driving conditions and more, but if youre anything like me you see winter as the great leveler—literally.
