Tomaz Humar

TOMAZ HUMAR – THE INTERVIEW

Rock & Ice has published a feature story about the life (and death) of Tomaz Humar. It is a brilliant article that draws attention to the trials, tribulations, elations, and tragic woes of one of the greatest alpinists of all time and certainly one of the most profound of his generation. The article is aptly titled, 'Searching for Tomaz Humar,' and appears in the June 2010 issue (#186). We highly recommend reading it. Not only will it serve as a lasting tribute and assessment of Humar, but the article raises questions that reside beneath the skin of every climber – like what are we really looking for? While it won't answer them, it will get the wheels turning and blood flowing.

As we take time to further reflect on the loss of our friend and visionary Tomaz Humar, we invite you to read this STATEMENT by CAMP President Eddy Codega (note - the statement has been translated from its original Italian version and is unedited). We have also unburied an AUDIO INTERVIEW conducted with Tomaz during the Ouray Ice Festival in 2004. It is stunning to hear his voice, so vivid, so full of life.

Nano 23 Carabiner

REVISITED - THE NANO 23

We like to geek out over gear and our product forums are meant to be the stage for this. The very first product forum article we ever wrote was titled, ‘Misperceptions About he Nano 23’. With a redesign for 2010 and a price break to $6.95, it is no wonder the lightest carabiner in the world remains one of the most popular. It stole the show as the first hyper-light biner and has gone through two redesigns now in order to keep its place ahead of the pack.

We invite you to revisit this article, MISPERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE NANO 23. It’s aim is to directly address the misperceptions we hear about the Nano 23. Most aggressive climbers agree, when used for the purposes for which it was designed, there really is no substitute.

MONTHLY DRAWING

Lightening your rack with the lightest carabiners in the world is satisfying like drinking a cold beer after a hot day climbing. What could be better? How about a six pack of beer and six Nanos! We can't ship the beer (we recommend the Mothership Wit seasonal from New Belgium), but we will be shipping a six pack of Nanos to one lucky winner.
