At 51, with a fused ankle and a few fused vertebrae—after decades spent in the vertical—Kelly Cordes is still going strong. He knows what works in the mountains and why, and he applies these skills to his profession as a full-time gear tester for Patagonia. With every climb, every backcountry ski outing, every hike or scramble, he’s noting what works and doesn’t work with his clothing. A legend in the climbing world, Cordes’s career includes the first ascent of the Azeem (Great) Ridge on Great Trango Tower in Pakistan with Josh Wharton in 2004, a 7,400-foot route that is more than twice the size of El Capitan and tops out over 20,000 feet....

Pro surfer Dusty Payne was hospitalized following a grave wipeout at Backdoor on Oahu’s North Shore earlier this week, Hawaii News Now reports. The 26-year-old Maui native crashed into the reef near the shore. Luckily surfers, photographers, and lifeguards were quick to respond when Payne didn’t surface. He was unconscious when he was pulled onto shore, where he received medical attention. The 65 Best Surf Spots in the World Read article...

Two surfers were left paddling for their lives after a great white shark knocked one of them off their surfboard Monday evening at North Point beach in Western Australia. Tom Van Beem, an off-duty lifeguard, was surfing alongside a Belgium woman when the close encounter occurred near Gracetown around 6 p.m. They were the last remaining surfers in the water at the time. Van Beem told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that he had felt water movement underneath him....

For a certain breed of beer drinker, touring the Belgian, German, French, and Czech breweries in Europe’s Beer Belt is old news. Beer is about an experience, not just a tasting—and we’re not talking about the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam. What’s more, you don’t have to be drinking to get in on the action. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies Brewers and beer lovers across the world are getting creative with the way they use their ingredients, changing how people think about enjoying a pint....

Winter may be gone, but it left its mark. Just look in the mirror or have a feel. Skin like stucco? It’s time to give yourself some allover TLC—i.e. it’s time to exfoliate. Scrubbing your body helps SPF soak in, stops ingrown hairs, and may reduce scars or blemishes, says Caesar Jimenez, owner of Groom Spa in San Francisco. Here are three of our favorite products to get the job done....

A major complaint from surfing pursuits about the influx of wave pools is it removes the ocean from surfing, changing it into something more akin to waveriding. But what if a wave pool could quell even those doubters by putting the ocean back in the mix of a wave pool? While a floating wave pool wouldn’t necessarily rid itself of the flaws critics like to point out, it would literally put wave pools into bodies of water....

If you plan to have kids, make sure to work on both your brains and your brawn—simultaneously. Research from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Disease finds doing activities that are both mentally and physically stimulating triggers a genetic change in sperm, influencing the offspring’s capacity to learn. And the effects happen very fast—Andre Fischer, an expert in neurodegenerative diseases, suspects it takes as little as two months for the RNA changes to occur....

In the late ’90s, I was teaching culinary students about a gluten-free diet for people with a medical condition called celiac disease. Back then, gluten was foreign, and the idea of not eating pizza, bread, or pasta was absurd. Today, 20 years later, going gluten-free has gone mainstream—and not just for those with medical conditions that might necessitate it. Most people looking to lose weight or become healthier have probably at least once wondered whether or not they should ditch gluten....

“Luck would have it, the spillway I wound up paddling over had about a two-foot drop,” LouAnne Harris explains. Of the nearly 30 locks Harris has portaged in her ongoing effort to be the first known woman to standup paddleboard the entire 2,300-mile length of the Mississippi River, this was the first she encountered that actually had water spilling over in the lower-flow months of late summer. Harris faced a unique challenge compared to the canoes and kayaks that make the journey each year....

Hands-down the best vehicle yet devised by homo sapiens to travel over snow at high speeds. The easiest, most cost-effective means for one person to convert powder from untracked to tracked. With talent, can be used to bend gravity, climb walls, do backflips, skim across pristine mountain lakes, and leap headlong into death-wielding couloirs. More addictive in the right conditions than sleeping pills or video games. I’ve met great skiers still in their prime who suddenly realize they’ve come to prefer turning a snowmobile in powder than a pair of skis....

OUTSIDE SEOUL, on a train platform in Uijeongbu, his mother shields him, tucking his tiny body against hers, as people spit and throw garbage. She tells him not to listen, but how can he not? They scream and shake their fists — some from the train’s open windows, others from the crowd that closes around him like a fist. He is only three years old, but that doesn’t stop them. They don’t like the color of his skin....

Arcade Belts and Roark Revival have announced a brand-new collaboration belt, inspired by a recent trip the two brands embarked on in Northern Patagonia, Argentina. The terrain of this region is diverse, weather is unpredictable, people are rugged, and the carne is unprecedented. Photo: Courtesy of Arcade Starting their journey on the Estancia Rincon Grande – a massive ranch outside of Bariloche that stretches all the way from the Steppe to the Andes and isn’t far from the Chilean border – the two followed a trail onto the Argentine Steppe on horseback where the colors of the landscape inspired them to weave a gold and dusty brown “Turtle Weave” on an Arcade X Roark collaboration belt....

We’ve all been there: You’d rather sit at home in your underwear watching the early seasons of Game of Thrones than grab drinks with your buddies. You skip out on lunch plans with your colleague to get out of the office early. You dodge your neighbor’s not-so-subtle hints to go out for drinks. What do they all have in common? That weak, unapologetic ‘Sorry’ bringing up the rear. Even if you are truly sorry, you might want to skip it....

Traditional soft-shell rooftop tents are typically squeezed inside of a bag which can make assembling it and packing it away feel like a task. But earlier this week, iKamper unveiled the X-Cover, a coverless soft-shell/hard-shell blend that makes this process a whole lot easier. The X-Cover fully assembled. Photo: Courtesy of iKamper When assembling the X-Cover, all you need to do is unzip the soft-shell’s protective outer layer, attach the expandable ladder to the top hard-shell, pull it down and watch the tent do the rest....
