Scarpa

ProView – Scarpa Rapid

August 4, 2017October 2, 2017Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews dbdadmin 2 Comments on ProView – Scarpa Rapid

From the burly approach to Castleton Tower, to the rugged washes in white sandstone canyons in northern Arizona, to the wild flower basins in Ten Sleep, and in the back yard playground of Eldorado Canyon and Chautauqua, the Scarpa Rapid…

The Scarpa Spin is a new addition to their Alpine line of trail runners, finding its place right in-between the minimalist Atom and the higher profile Neutron. They call it the “Goldilocks of [the] Alpine Running collection, for those who…

ProView – Scarpa Force V

June 12, 2017July 14, 2017Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews dbdadmin Leave a Comment on ProView – Scarpa Force V

The Scarpa Force V is another contender as a great all day rock shoe. With most climbing shoes comfort usually means a decrease in performance, but the Force V maintains a pretty solid balance between the two. Fit Because I…

ProView – Scarpa Instinct Lace

October 17, 2016November 1, 2017Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews dbdadmin Leave a Comment on ProView – Scarpa Instinct Lace

The Instinct lace-up is another great climbing shoe by Scarpa. It’s made for steep face climbing and feeling secure on small features, but is also good for bouldering and thin cracks. The Instinct has a moderately aggressive downturn, making it…

October 6, 2016September 21, 2017ProView Gear Reviews, Skiing dbdadmin Leave a Comment on ProView – Scarpa F1 Ski Boot

The Scarpa F1 is back after a two year hiatus. The new F1 borrows design elements from a proven ultra-light racing platform and adds some bulk to drive bigger skis. The Elephant in the Room Scarpa’s last revision of the…

ProView – SCARPA Iguana

August 10, 2016September 12, 2017backpacking, Backpacking and Hiking, ProView Gear Reviews dbdadmin Leave a Comment on ProView – SCARPA Iguana

The SCARPA Iguana (men’s version here) is a tidy, low profile approach shoe that cruises on trails, packs down small, and grips rock well. The lightweight design and collapsible upper make these a great option for any situation where you’ll need to carry a…

ProView – SCARPA Gecko Approach Shoes

July 13, 2016September 11, 2017Backpacking and Hiking, Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews dbdadmin Leave a Comment on ProView – SCARPA Gecko Approach Shoes

The SCARPA Gecko is the rare all-around approach shoe that walks comfortably over many miles, while maintaining good sensitivity and traction on rock. Italian leather uppers, to-the-toe lacing, and thoughtfully lugged Vibram soles create an ideal shoe for everything from casual…

ProView – SCARPA Vapor Lace

July 1, 2016September 11, 2017Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews dbdadmin 1 Comment on ProView – SCARPA Vapor Lace

The new SCARPA Vapor is an evolution of the classic Vapor V climbing shoe. It features a stiffer last than the Vapor V and a redesigned one-piece leather upper. Straight out of the box the soft leather upper and shape of…

ProView – SCARPA Atom & Neutron Alpine Runners

May 31, 2016September 11, 2017ProView Gear Reviews, Running dbdadmin Leave a Comment on ProView – SCARPA Atom & Neutron Alpine Runners

I always like to see how flexible running shoes are right out of the box. Comparing these two Scarpa trail running shoes, the Neutron is much stiffer than the Atom, but they each serve their own purpose. Aesthetically, I really…

  • This is Basho the 🐐 and gear tester, David (@dav1d.hanks). ⁣
⁣
Basho lives with David's good friend, Chris (@thegoatspath). Chris and his wife started acquiring goats on a dairy farm in the Castle Valley area. They now have 14 goats that they keep on their land, where they live in an off-grid bus (and have for the last 8 years). ⁣
⁣
Chris takes his goats for hikes every day. He's training them to be pack goats so he can haul production equipment for shoots in remote locations, and eventually haul climbing gear for climbs in the Castleton area. ⁣
⁣
David went to visit Basho and the rest of his friends while testing the @ortovox Zebru jacket. He says it's his new go-to for any cold day situation. Review coming soon! | 📸: @thegoatspath #Dirtbagdreams⁣

  • Lindsay (@wanderlinds_) is always breaking out the ice tools and hunting ice. And as the newest member of the USA Ice Climbing Team, she's pretty used to the many different temperatures your body experiences in a day.  Let's just say, having her layers dialed is essential. ⁣
⁣
So we sent her the Ortovox Piz Duleda jacket to test - a breathable layer with intelligent temperature management -  this jacket shines when you're working hard in the alpine. And Lindsay knows all about working hard in the alpine. ⁣
