Patagonia is hosting a free adventure movie at their Santa Monica store – this is the third of a series of “First Monday” adventure films. This month they’ll be showing a film called Gum for My Boat, about a Bangladesh Surf Club who create a community through surfing. How do they integrate surfing with Islamic culture? We’ll have to watch and find out! Date: Monday, August 2nd CamelBak is about to unveil a new hydration reservoir! CamelBak led the “revolution” in hands free hydration a couple of decades ago. Now they are evolving to the next level of hands free hydration with their new Antidote reservoir that is due to hit stores Fall 2010.  CamelBak Omega and Antidote Reservoirs Hiking Lady got a sneak peek and a chance to test the new Antidote Reservoir, check out all of the new features, and report back. What did she find? Check out the Hiking Lady gear review comparing the Antidote Reservoir with the CamelBak Omega 3.
I had never heard of “National Geographic” music. It is an eclectic mix of “Amazon” inspired music (as in the Amazon jungle, not the online store!) Hey, it’s free, so the price is right!  Item #1. Rock Shoes. This is the pair I use. Your feet are different. Rock shoes must be tried on! Ok, so there are actually 2 things rockclimbers need… whether or not you boulder, top rope, or lead climb, rock climbers all need these 2 items at a minimum… The 2 Rockclimbing Essentials1. Rock climbing shoes2. Chalk bag with rock climbing chalkI have found that many of my hiking friends also enjoy rockclimbing (as well as many other outdoors sports). Seems like we just don’t want to stay inside. I’ll keep this short so I can get off my computer and spend some time in nature… Item #1: Rock climbing shoes are the obvious one. I personally use the 5.10 Women’s Gambit. I love them and they are comfortable (as comfortable as rock climbing shoes can be!). Item #2: The second item is a chalk bag. When I first started climbing, I bought my shoes, but no chalk bag. I just mooched off my friends. Then I realized that my sweaty palms would stand to benefit from having climbing chalk of my own, and a convenient well designed back to store it in.  Item #2. My prAna Chalk Bag Check out my review of my new prAna chalk bag, and learn why I like it so much! For the Hiking Lady readers that also like to climb, what is your favorite chalk bag? |
