A Litte Easy Jaunt In The Japan Alps for Your Viewing Pleasure Came across this video of two guys walking the infamous "Gendarme" (a knife ridge) and "Dai-Kiretto" in the North Japan Alps. I'm really bad with these kind of steep and hea... |

Mont Bell (well, what do you know, I can't use the word "f*nny pack"!) I've been using MontBell gear since 1977, two years after they started, when I bought my first rain poncho. I still ha... |
