Original Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show Crew - From Left to Right: Todd to the Top, Trippy Tressa, Host Brandon, Gear Junkie JamesAfter 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.

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).

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."

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. Outside Magazine posted Ueli's version late last night, "Brawl On Everest: Ueli Steck's Story." While Alpinist Magazine is waiting on more information before publishing an article about the brawl, Rock Ice didn't hesitate and posted this piece on Tuesday, "TNB: Mayhem: Crawling, Balling, and Brawling On The Everest Soap Opera" In Other News: Todd to the Top with a Beer and a Bear - Circa 2011 Outdoor Retailer Show.

Climbing and Ogden go together like Sharma and Spain. So, we're thankful for the sixth year in a row, the Weber State University Outdoor Program has organized the Ogden Climbing Festival! 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.
