We’ve recently added a killer new merchant to the Outdoor Gear Engine database (we now have over 300,000 skus of outdoor gear and apparel for you to compare prices on!). This latest OGE addition is a merchant that sells gear specific to kids. A KIDS GEAR ONLY online retailer is something that the outdoor shopping category has needed for quite sometime. It’s very important to outfit kids appropriately so that they can safely share the outdoor passions their parents have. Minus a couple of gear stores, it’s nearly impossible to find quality gear for kids that’s not built like a toy. Enter UpsideOver.com!

From Upside Over’s web site:

“…we provide the best available collection of high quality, some times hard to find, outdoor gear and technical clothing for kids and active families.”

Keep an eye on the OGE Outdoor Blog for coupons and promos from UpsideOver.com. They are sure to let us know when substantial savings are available, and we’ll in turn tell you! They are also adding new and innovative kid’s gear all the time so we’ll keep you posted on that fron as well.

Yosemite in the Sixties by Glen Denny

Posted in Daily Grind, Patagonia on June 19th, 2007

Pretty cool: Now at Patagonia, find Glen Denny’s extraordinary book of rare black-and-white photographs of Yosemite Valley climbers. Originally inspired by the work of Ansel Adams, Denny quickly mastered the effects of light on rock but his special gift is for these portraits of climbers in their element, for revealing the climber’s face in the unselfconscious moment of obsession on a route, of pleasure in camp, of awe to be in such a place. He conveys the culture of Camp 4 in the sixties as well as the spirit of the big-wall climbs. Many of these photographs have never before been published.
