Arc’teryx Cierzo 28 Backpack Competition
So, we’re going to do something a little different with this post. We’re going to give you the chance to win a brand new Backpack! It’s a New Year, how awesome would it be to sling a new backpack over your shoulders on your adventures! We’re collaborating with Altitude Sports to offer you this opportunity. Myself and Spring have been personally working with Altitude-Sports since way back in late 2013. Back when we were tadpoles in the social media space, with no Instagram, <100 followers on Facebook and only a dozen or so posts on this blog. They loved our energy, writing and believed in us. We’ve been sending them articles for their blog ever since and consider them our friends. You can check out some of our past posts for them Here Who Are Altitude Sports? Altitude Sports is a 100% Canadian company based out of Montreal. With years of experience with outdoor clothes and equipment, they are quickly becoming the leaders in terms of web shopping, across all of Canada. Adding to their expertise with camping, hiking, snowshoeing and traveling, they are also experts in urban fashion and high-end technical clothing. Altitude Sports has got you covered – whether you’re doing an expedition into the Himalayas, or heading to a 5 star hotel in Europe. They make online shopping ultra-easy, with fast shipping and easy returns (we personally shop with them all the time) Founded in 1983, the company was bought back in 2008 by two ultra-passionate guys, Maxime Dubois and Alexandre Guimond – whose goal was to take Altitude Sports and transform it into a web-based enterprise. The two stores, located in Montreal and the ski village of Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, are still open – but you’ll find more than 250 brands from all over the world directly on their website. Entering The Competition! So the motto for Altitude Sports is to only offer products that are high quality, comfortable, sustainable and attractive. This is why they are giving away the NEW 2016 Arc’teryx Cierzo 28 Backpack which is perfect for alpine and mountaineering adventures. You can’t even buy this pack yet. It’s not even out in stores until later this year so the lucky winner will get to use it before anyone else can get their hands on it, how awesome is that!

Scarpa Crux Approach Shoe Review
Bottom Line: A comfortable approach shoe for getting to the base of your climb. Useful also for light climbing and bouldering to warm up. Rubber soles stick to rock really well, and the side webbing allows for increased precision when balancing on small foot holds. I love them! First Impressions and Observations: Before getting the Scarpa Crux approach shoes I had never tried them on before. I just picked my size and when they arrived they fit perfectly out of the box. Awesome! Scarpa has achieved an exceptional balance between making these comfortable but also functional. The suede molds to the shape of my foot well allowing for a relaxed feel. However, these shoes also perform well for climbing. Scarpa has reinforced the forefoot by using webbing with kevlar. This holds the shoe tight to ball of the foot allowing for better precision. The rubber toe rand is also a nice feature for getting a bit of extra protection where it counts. The Vibram Vertical rubber on the soles of these shoes is amazing. It grips to rock and gives a sense of confidence similar to rock shoes. Previously when I’d get to the crag I’d change into my rock shoes and do some warm ups on the rock. Now, I stay in these approach shoes for my warm up. Pros: Comfortable for use all day Light and simple construction Sticky rubber soles for rocky hiking, scrambling or light climbing Kevlar reinforced webbing around the ball of the foot Cons: Feet can get warm on hot days. Not very breathable. Friends may become jealous and steal them while you are climbing in your rock shoes Buy it if: You’re tired of going climbing and wearing your sneakers, which don’t work well on wet rock. It’s a pain to constantly be switching from rock shoes to your normal shoes just for some light bouldering or warm up climbing. You want a shoe that you can wear around town and use at the crag. Places to Buy: The Scarpa Men’s Crux is available at Altitude-Sports.com ...
