ALEX HONNOLD FREE CLIMBS TAIPEI 101 SKYSCRAPER

In 2018, Alex Honnold made history by becoming the first-ever climber to free solo (to climb without a fixed rope, harness, or any safety equipment) El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Alex’s successful climb, documented in the Oscar-winning film Free Solo, chronicled the climb and catapulted Alex into climbing lore.

On Saturday, January 24, Alex Honnold has again accomplished one of the most daring free solos ever attempted: a ropeless, real-time ascent of Taipei 101, one of the tallest skyscrapers on the planet.

PRESERVING TOMORROW'S TRAIL

Treadling lightly and recreating responsibly is critical to preserve trails for future generations

by Stan Wright



How disheartening is it to pull into a campsite and see leftover trash inside a fire ring, or an area torn up from vehicle tracks? Deep ruts and beaten down vegetation, half-burned paper plates, beer cans and plastic or glass bottles, strewn over a once beautiful area. Some of our favorite areas are being loved to death by irresponsible outdoor recreationists. What was once your favorite route of two-track is now wide enough for three vehicles to pass side by side. Nearly everything that we do plays some part in changing the natural landscape of our beloved outdoors. It’s vitally important that we do whatever we can to minimize our impact, protect our resources, and balance outdoor recreation with responsible stewardship of our trails.

10 THINGS TO DO IN THE IDAHO PANHANDLE

Alice Ford of Alice's Adventures shares her insights on 10 great things to do in Idaho

Eagles soaring overhead, densely packed forest-covered mountains, lakes full of salmon, bike paths that span miles through mountains, across wetlands, over old railroads, and along rivers. Crags you can climb, forest roads open to ATVs, single-track bike routes and delicious food. Northern Idaho just might be the greatest place in America to find adventure and, best of all, avoid crowds. That’s what inspired me to create a list of the 10 best things to do in the Idaho panhandle!
