Will Calton on the 2014 Everest Tragedy & Shutdown

Will Calton along with fellow Ogden resident and friend, Tom Burton, summited Everest in 2012. Will continues to closely follow the exploits of the world's tallest mountain, the deaths, summits, success stories, and drama. This year is extraordinarily significant as an avalanche swept through the Icefall killing 13 Sherpa men with three more missing. This tragic event may in effect shut the mountain down as many of the Sherpa were part of the high altitude team who set ropes for all those who follow.
Will's personal experience on the mountain is quite remarkable and to have him available to contribute his thoughts on the mountains recent events is a privilege. Thanks Will! And, we would like to send our prayers and thoughts to those who lost loved ones in the avalanche.

Mike Henderson - Ogden Climbing Festival

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 10:23:34 -0600

Most of the winter Mike Henderson charged the backcountry guiding Dawn Patrol for the Weber State Outdoor Program. Now that spring has sprung, well, 'Hendo' is still skiing, but also helping organize this year's 7th Annual Ogden Climbing Festival . Below is our interview with Mike about #OCF7, but first the deets:
GEAR:30 kicks off the Fest on Thursday, April 10th at 7pm, with a slideshow presentation by adventure photographer Nathan Smith. Check out Nathan's images at Pull Photography. This year's Fest will introduce an Invitation Only Intercollegiate Boulder Comp at Friday night's Weber Rocks demo. Young Subaru donated a $250 purse for the winning climbers. Friday's demo will also be a great night for families and climbers to come test gear, jump on a rope for the first time, and meet Keynote Speaker, climber and trainer, Obe Carrion.
Saturday is the big Fest day! The action kicks off at 10am in the Ogden Boulder Field with a Red Point Boulder Comp! At noon is lunch sponsored by Red Bull. Clinics for the community begin at 1pm. From upping your climbing game with Obe Carrion's "Next Level" clinic, to Climbing Yoga, a Striders Running Trail Run, Rock Rescue, and Children's Bouldering, there really is something for everyone at Saturday's boulder field events.
Amer Sports will host Obe Carrion's Keynote Presentation at 6:30pm. We'll announce winners of the boulder comps, and give away ridiculous amounts of swag!

The weekend wraps with an after party at GEAR:30, catered by Roosters. Reel Rock 8 will be playing, along with music, chair bouldering, and socializing.

Also, would like to thank John Wojciechowski with Striders Running for pitch-hitting for the San Francisco travelin' co-host Todd to the Top.
What you hear, here, is the second rendering of the interview. The first version, which was spectacular by the way, is lost in time as someone forgot to push the record button... whoever could that be? So, because of the mistake from yours truly, this is version 2.
Betty Hates Everything and The Last Wednesday are on a little mini-tour. Couldn't get the podcast up early enough to help out much, but if you rush up to Jerome, Idaho right now, you can catch them opening for Crash Kings.

Skillz Session: 5 Things you Need Before Heading into the Backcountry Quote of the Week: “Each new year is a surprise to us. We find that we had virtually forgotten the note of each bird, and when we hear it again, it is remembered like a dream, reminding us of a previous state of existence. How happens it that the associations it awakens are always pleasing, never saddening, reminiscences of our sanest hours. The voice of nature is always encouraging.” -Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Fri, 20 Dec 2013 12:22:49 -0700

Kelly Agnew - Ultra Runner | Follow Kelly's adventure's on his blog: "Slipping Slowly Into Pain"
In his own words:
Like many people, I began running later in life in an effort to lose the weight that had piled on as a result of my sedentary lifestyle. But unlike a lot of people, I developed a passion for distance running and ultimately, an unstoppable desire to be on the trails and in the mountains. And most importantly, I learned that I had the ability to run great distances, endure significant amounts of pain and to finish these brutal events near the front of the pack. What started out as a routine path to weight loss, turned into my path to competitive ultra running which opened up a whole new world to me. I have a strong desire to share this sport with other people and to help runners realize their hidden potential. I plan to continue being an active ambassador for the sport, while promoting a healthy awareness of our role as stewards of the trails and mountains that all too often get taken for granted right here in our own back yard. I hope to achieve this through my running, racing and writing, in hopes that I can leave this sport better than I found it. - Kelly Agnew

Greg had never run 100 miles, or 50 miles, or even 50K (31 miles), but on somewhat of a whim, his wife signed him up for the Bear 100. You know, to give him a push. Greg had just over three weeks to prepare. He finished. His time, 34 hours and 40 minutes. Hear how he prepared, formed an intelligent finishing strategy, and stuck to his plan.

After three-plus years of broadcasting from KWCR studios, the Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show is now moving to the GEAR:30 Lounge. Huge thanks and gratitude to 88.1 Weber FM for allowing the OOA Show to air! "The Move" allows the OOA Show to bring in product reps and athletes who can promote and endorse which is not really allowed when broadcasting on non-profit airwaves. Also, because we plan to record live in the GEAR:30 Lounge, the public is invited to hangout with us and watch the podcast magic go down. So, join us live at GEAR:30, Thursday's between 1pm - 2pm-ish. The format remains basically the same. News:

Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:34:35 -0600

Todd to the Top took over the airwaves for this episode so I could "walk the walk" in the Uinta's and test some backpacking gear.

We were fortunate enough to have award-winning songwriter and composer, Kristin Andreassen in studio before her show at the Ogden Nature Center. Andreassen's music is influenced by American traditional music, including the old time string band tunes. She has toured throughout North America, Australia & Europe with her string band Uncle Earl (with Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert & KC Groves).

Big thanks and congrats to Todd to the Top on hosting solo his First Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show!

OOA Show Episode 132, Mother Nature's in a Bad Mood

Fri, 10 May 2013 11:58:31 -0600

Even when she's in a bad mood, Mother Nature remains beautiful.

Too many news stories this week involving death. We talk about and post these death stories to help others understand when we venture into the wild, it is just that, and to be prepared for anything. A simple day hike, family camping trip, or flat-water paddle session can turn from fun to dangerous in moments. What is most beautiful and alluring about wilderness areas can also be the most dangerous. The ol' Scout motto remains the best advice when courting Mother Nature, "Be Prepared."

Safety in Bear Country:

Dispose of trash in bear-proof dumpsters, if available
Wipe down picnic tables
Burn food off stoves or grills
Pitch tents away from trails in the backcountry
Always sleep inside your tent
Never approach or feed a bear
Report bear sightings to your campground host
Take precautions while hiking

Take Bear Precautions While Hiking:

Stay alert at dawn and dusk, when bears are more active
Go with a group, if possible
Make noise as you travel through dense cover
Stay away from animal carcasses
Store food, trash and scented items (such as sunscreen) in airtight plastic bags
Keep kids in the center of the group

Ogden Sunrise as seen from the Bonneville Shoreline Trail Every sport has it's season. Right now, it's Everest time. By now, most of heard of the "brawl on Everest" which included three prominent alpinists, but we hadn't heard the point of view from the most famous climber involved, Ueli Steck.

This year's fest was the best attended since inception, and we believe GEAR:30 had a little help with that. Besides rockin' the fest as the Title Sponsor, GEAR:30 also helped kick off the weekend with a special Will Calton Presentation: Preparing for and Surviving Everest, complete with sweet schwag and free food and beer from Roosters Brewing Co. All good things must come to an end, so we're sad this year's climbing festival is over. We're already dreamin' of next year. News:
