Adventures on the Muzart (Part II)

July 14, 2010 – 4:25 pm

We continue to follow Kyle Dempster on his Piolet d’Or winning journey to China. The next morning there was too much climbing to be done so I did not patch the hole. Looking like mountain gypsies, Jared Vilhauer and I departed base camp toting my 60L NWD and his 60L WorkSack.  We both had climbing [...]

El Mocho Madness

March 12, 2009 – 5:01 pm

I just returned to the states from 7 weeks climbing in South America, where I put CiloGear’s 45L and 30L worksacks through numerous ordeals. I was especially impressed with the versatility of the 30L pack during my last climb in the range. -Blake Herrington
