Editor For Mountain Climbing , Extreme Sports , Outdoor Recreation

I run my own website, The Adventurist, detailing stories of Adventure. I recently covered the 2007 Mt. Everest season. I have been read by over 300,000 people and featured in some of the top climbing and Outdoors related sites on the Web including MountainWorld, The Adventure Blog, ExplorersWeb, Topia Road and Adventure Sports Weekly. I am a freelance writer dealing with Extreme and Adventure Sports. My site: <li>http://www.skinymoose.com/adventurist</li> continues to grow at an amazing rate and features some of the best Adventures taking place in the world today. I am proud to have the opportunity to work with such a great site like Topix and am hoping I can bring a few improvements along the way. Cheers- Jason A. Hendricks

Colbert needs to run for the "Republicrats ." The best of both worlds.  (Oct 18, 2007 | post #82)

South Carolina

Colbert announces presidential pursuit

A part of me wishes that I could vote for all of the candidates running. Anything to get George W. out of the Whitehouse. I will miss "The Great Momments in Presidential Speaches" bit on Letterman, though. Hillary, not sure if she would serve the country best, but it sure would be fun to see Bill as the First Lady.<br> <br> On a serious note, I bet a lot more people would tune in to the Presidential Speeches, or even the debates for that matter, if Colbert put a serious effort in this.  (Oct 18, 2007 | post #73)

NORTHFACE BIGGEST COMPETITOR

Hey Will, I was just asking because I knew BlackDiamond had recently moved quite a bit of the production of their facilities over to China, and this has stirred up a bit of a "quality " controversy now concerning their products. I didn't know if this was the same type of issue or not. I actually had not heard that Vanity Fair had bought them out..funny and sad at the same time.  (Oct 1, 2007 | post #4)

Mountain Climbing

Who is the Greatest Climber Ever?

Just wondering who everyone thinks is the best climber in the world..can be past, or present...alive or dead...Alpine or Rock. Let me hear what you have to say, and you may just see a post about it in the future!  (Aug 23, 2007 | post #1)

Outdoor Recreation

Adventure vs. Extreme Sports

I have been hearing alot about "Adventure Sports" as of late--I was wondering if someone can explain the two. Climbing is listed as both an Extreme and Adventure Sport at many sites..what about kayaking, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, skateboarding..ect .. Tell me your thoughts and I just may make a post of some of them on my own site.  (Aug 23, 2007 | post #1)
