How a Leica Rekindled My Love of Photography in One Week
  The box arrived at our office with nothing more than a fragile sticker to betray the remarkable product within. But once I cracked the tape and pulled aside some hastily packed bubble wrap, there it was. Glinting silver and black in the dim office light was a geometric, no-nonsense shape. Emblazoned with a red dot front and center, and the...
Can’t Put a Price on Value: Why $10K Bikes Can’t Compete With My Cheap Fixie
  Theres nothing like having $400 in cash in your pocket to help you understand the importance of studying self-defense. Id just withdrawn more $20 bills than Id ever held at one time and was now pedaling a public Nice Ride bike through Minneapolis, doing my best impression of someone who was totally not carrying $400 in their pants pocket.

Ive had the Jackal and the Banshee frames for a few weeks now, and though I was skeptical, I am impressed. I think brands often take the...

AR Swim Goggles, Lightsaber Clock, Slim Stanley Bottle, and More Emerging Gear

Here at GearJunkie, we dont have time for those kinds of existential questions —were too busy getting stoked about new stuff to use outside!   Thats why the Emerging Gear column is one of our favorite stories all week. When we get to explore high-tech swim goggles,...
‘Climbing Became Cool Because of People Like Maria:’ Q and A With ‘Mentor’ Movie Director

Though shes not well-known outside of the climbing community, its impossible to understate the impact she made on the sport. For most, Cranor is remembered as the creative genius who helped co-found Black Diamond. When Yvon Chouinards climbing hardware...

Here’s Where You Want to Get Stranded—And Where You Definitely Don’t
  A dream vacation nearly turned into a logistical nightmare this week when eight passengers on a Norwegian cruise line were stranded on São Tomé and Príncipe after they were delayed returning from a tour of the island.   Despite being flummoxed and uneasy at being left behind, however, the eight tourists did quite well in their short stint being grounded on São...

How I Dealt With My Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis: First, Hike 500 Miles
  My headlamp illuminated yet another snow patch, this one close to 30 feet across, looming out of the shadows to completely swallow the trail. Even on a path this narrow, contouring along the side of the valley at night should have been easy, but these intermittent snow fields were killing me. Ollie, my hiking partner, barely slowed, stamping footprints into...
