Some Dyneema Pictures…

A few people asked about the Dyneema packs, and the suspensions. The simple answer is that the suspension on the Dyneema packs is the same as our regular packs. But here are some pictures…

Back in NYC…phone still broke.

I’m back in NYC. I’m totally enervated, and I expect to take the next three days to get caught up with stuff from last week. Portland was great, and I am jealous of all of you who live there. Our phone still doesn’t work. In other news, Fabrizio Zangrilli, the guy who used to run [...]

CiloGear at OR

OR is done. We are back in our homes. I am in shambles. I slept 15 hours Saturday night, 12 on Sunday night, and another 12 last night. I came into the office to work, and I’m leaving to go back to sleep as I can neither write a complete sentence without supervision nor can [...]

From Brooklyn to Pakistan and back…

We make the Dyneema packs here in Brooklyn. Kelly Cordes took his 45L Dyneema WorkSack to Pakistan last summer as part of our testing program. He sent it back so we could look at it, and put a ridiculously long strap on it. Curious at the damage it took in 75+ days of climbing and expedition [...]

Loretan climbed the 14 8,000 meter peaks alpine style, without oxygen, and doing incredible feats. He climbed Everest with his long time partner Jean Troillet in 43 [...]

The Fifth Element

They did it! Mt. Epperly, 4512 meters, roughly 150 meters higher than previously suspected. The aloha spirit of alpinism carried on, with the climbers pondering and considering whether they were the second ascent team or indeed if it even mattered: Conversando con la Pachi, nos contó que durante toda la subida no podía sacarse de [...]

Mini Update on the Patagonia Front…

Colin uses his Freak Power to write: Yeah, we did get a nice 3-day window for Christmas. Max (Turgeon) decided to go climbing with Zoe (Hart), and they did the classic Ciaro di Luna on St. Exupery (the “Beckey-Chouinard” of Patagonia). I went and climbed a new route on Aguja Desmochada with a german guy, [...]
