Mountain huts are not heated. Temperatures are colder at night, even during summer. If your trip involves camping out, go for the warmest possible combination of clothing. Winter Gear (July - October) Choose: • Warmer down (500+ loft) and synthetic jackets • Medium to heavy grade thermals and socks • Warm, insulated gloves • 4-season sleeping bags (rated to approx -12°C) • Avoid using drinking bladders and hoses during winter - they are prone to freeze even when insulated. Summer Gear (November - April) There is a wide range of temperatures through summer. Be prepared for cool, to cold temperatures during storms and at night. Choose: • 3-season sleeping bags (rated to approx -5°C) • 400-500 loft down jackets or synthetic insulating jackets • Lightweight to mid-weight thermals and socks • UV Protection is Vital Through December, January and February especially bring "cooling" garments that will reflect UV.

  • 1.3 Moon Climbing Crash Pads
    MASTER'S THESIS Conceptual Design for a New Crash Pad How to Make a Small Surface Bigger and a Big Surface Smaller Peter Kroon Emma Landin Master of Science in Engineering Technology Industrial Design Engineering Luleå University of Technology Department of Business, Administration, Technology and Social Sciences Preface Numerous are the occasions when a spotter has cursed over the too small pad that constantly needs to be moved along when the bouldering mate progresses along the problem. Equal numerous are the occasions when cursed over the oversized pad that together with everything else should be fitted into the small space called trunk. With a desire and idea of achieving a change, this project was launched. We would like to take the opportunity to thank a number of persons who in different ways have been particularly helpful during the course of this project. Ben Moon at Moon Climbing for assistance over this project. Patrik Svensson, for his untiring commitment and helpful attitude. Camilla Grane, PhD Division of Work Science, LTU, for help with everything concerning the survey. Viktoria at Happy Homes for her happy manners and sponsoring of the prototypes. All the climbers participating both in the survey and the prototype tests. The Work-Shop participants for their willingness to spare some time for this important cause. Bror Tingvall, division of sound and vibrations, LTU, for assistance with the accelerometer tests. and Ernst Hellby, for great assistance with rendering models and his Photoshop skills. Peter Kroon & Emma Landin Luleå, 19th May 2011 Abstract Bouldering is a style of rock climbing without rope, often on natural boulders, hence the word bouldering.

    OPENOPEN SPACESPACE OPEN SPACE RECEIVES TWO BOSQUE AWARDS newsletter Mayor Martin J. Chávez A Quarterly Newsletter of the Open Space Division and the Open Space Alliance Volume 6, Issue 3, July - September 2005 SCULPTURE GARDEN RISING FROM THE ASHES There is a Phoenix rising from the ashes of the Pueblo Montano fire that took place two years ago, but in the shape of an eagle. Chainsaw artist Mark Chavez, one of the firefighters who helped put out that fire in the bosque, seemed to be an imminently appropriate choice to carve sculptures into the standing dead cot- tonwood trees at the trailhead. Mark’s first offering can already be seen there - an eagle rising from flames – the first of five sculptures to be created in the future Pueblo Montano sculpture garden. To Mark, the eagle represents public service and freedom. He will also carve a firefighter, who will have one foot on top of a dragon’s head. “The dragon” is firefighter slang for a fire. This sculpture will be in honor of the men and women who fought to quell the bosque fire. Other trees will feature a sandhill creane, and La Llorona, the the “ditch witch. Some trees will remain for cavity nesting birds and wildlife habitat. In an interview with the Albuquerque Tribune, Mark said “You take this big, barren, chunk of wood that doesn’t look like it’s good for anything except maybe to cut up and burn for firewood, and you start chiseling away at it, and, little by little, something starts form- ing.
