		<title>For outdoorsy gals: an FUD nonreview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Warning: This post is a review, or as it turns out, a non-review of FUDs&#8211;female urination devices, in outdoor-industry speak. It&#8217;s about pee funnels. If you don&#8217;t want to read about the trials and tribulations of women trying to pee standing up in the woods or on a climb, stop here. As I told my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boulder Wave: A local cycling phenomenon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Someone I follow on Twitter recently tweeted: Why don&#8217;t cyclists in Boulder wave back when I wave to them? This is a Boulder cycling phenomenon that is particularly shocking and upsetting to we friendly former Midwesterners. In the Midwest, there aren&#8217;t many cyclists, so when you encounter another one, you can&#8217;t help but wave in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vive la Colorado: How to avoid post-expedition blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One rainy evening during our final weeks in Chamonix, we met up with guides Adam and Caroline George for a drink at a chic little bar. Caroline asked who I&#8217;ve worked with at Climbing magazine, and I asked what topics she&#8217;d covered for Climbing. &#8220;My first story was about post-expedition blues,&#8221; she said. I&#8217;d never [...]]]></description>

		<title>Le Jour du Tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone planning a sojourn to a stage of the Tour de France should bring the following three things: a bottle of water, a sense of humor, and an escape plan. We hopped on a train in Chamonix to head to Annecy on Thursday, where the final time trial of the Tour was held this year. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Workation France: Après-ick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was sick of being sick. We&#8217;d been in France for about a month, and I&#8217;d been sick most of that time. Just as I started to feel better, I came back from visiting our friends in Hamburg with an upper-respiratory gunk. In late June, a bright morning sun shone over Chamonix and I glared [...]]]></description>

		<title>Workation France: To Hamburg and the North Sea, Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When your German friends invite you to take a walk on the beach, ask how many tens of kilometers they plan to march before you answer. We took a break from our workation* in Chamonix to visit our dear friends Uwe and Frauke in Hamburg last weekend. Uwe decided that after spending so much time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Workation France: What to Bring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Five things you should bring from home, four of which I&#8217;ve spent way too much money on since we&#8217;ve arrived in France but are essential for a workation*: Sunscreen: You can&#8217;t skate out of a pharmacy or even a grocery store with sunscreen for under 10 euro, about $13.85 at the current exchange rate. Even [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Alps, the laissez-faire way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you live away from the mountains, the only time you hear about a climbing accident is if something big goes down on Mt. Everest, or if the Today Show picks up an amazing tale of survival from a fourteener hike gone wrong. But when you live in the mountains, climbing and skiing accidents appear [...]]]></description>

		<title>Workation France: Squeezing In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This summer, I&#8217;m conducting a work/play experiment in the Alps. I&#8217;ve moved my home office from Colorado to Chamonix, a lovely but sometimes insanely touristy town at the foot of Mont Blanc. This post is the first in a series about temporarily living and working in a premiere trekking and climbing destination&#8211;and another country. Settling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Long Haul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traveling for a few weeks is pretty easy. Working away from home for a few months requires a little more planning (and apparently a little more anxiety, eesh!). On Saturday, we&#8217;ll move our home office to Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France, for the next few months. The eight-hour shift east will be more than a change of [...]]]></description>
