I flew to Oahu to rock climb and collaborate on an article for Deadpoint Magazine (coming out soon!) with Abbey Smith and Jason Kehl. But the second morning, we woke to heavy black skies and flash flood warnings via NOAA that quickly proved accurate. It was December, and though we’d heard rumors of possible rogue waves on the northwest short of Oahu, our destination, we hadn’t expected rain, and certainly not this violent onslaught of precipitation.Luckily Oahu is more than just beaches and maitais!

The Mammut Denali pants are to die for! They’re super versatile, perfect for winter sports like skiing, running, showshoeing and ice climbing, but also spring and summer alpine adventures, when the air is still chilly and the weather unpredictable. Read the rest of the review on venturethere.com!
When Keith Ladzinski’s photos started showing up in climbing magazines, readers had no idea what hit them, but they knew it was cool. Keith blended skateboard-style photography, creative use of remote strobes and his landscape photographer’s eye for composition to make eye-popping action shots that have inspired a generation of photographers to copy his style.
Humble and perpetually psyched to share his passion for photography, Keith would be the last to admit he’s transformed the world of adventure photography, but everyone knows it.
