We're back after a two-week layoff due to the Labor Day holiday here in the U.S. While we were away, lots of news broke acros the outdoor and adventure community with stories such as a major polar expedition to the North Pole, a transgender climber going for the Seven Summits, and the return of Kilian Jornet to Mt. Everest. We'll discuss these stories and a whole lot more, before wrapping things up with some gear news and reviews, including a new backpack from Pacsafe and adventure travel shirts from Black Diamond and Marmot.
