Yes, it’s a another link dump — good thing all my nerdy blogger pals have found time away from their adventures to put in important minutes in front of their keyboards. (It’s either this or develop compelling original content. What would you do at these wages?)

Mountain World and GoBlog both insist we visit www.psychovertical.com (GoBlog warms my heart not just by linking over here, but also writing about urine. I’m putty in the hands of anybody who blogs about bodily functions).

The Piton tempts 50,000 years in Purgatory by writing less-than-flattering things about the Boy Scouts of America. (Insert snarky Brokeback Mountain reference of your own choosing here).

Simple Hiker says his grandpa raves over Gorilla Tape (official adhesives sponsor for the set of the King Kong remake that came out awhile back).

Ryan Jordan’s “quick note” from canyon camping in Utah is a mere 700-plus words. (Look, kids, all those weight savings have got to go somewhere. Basic physics.)

Justin in Wisconsin just got back from Gila Wilderness. (No word on if any monsters were harmed.)

Jonathan Claxton visited his brother in San Francisco and got some hiking in as well (now there’s a guy who’s got his priorities straight.)

WildeBeat wants your camping-with-dogs stories. (Or, better yet, camping with somebody elses’s dogs, so they stink up somebody else’s car!).

Trailcast interviews the creator of trailjournals.com.

HikerDeals points to a massive liquidation sale at Snow Leopard Mountain Sports. (Lots of stuff gone but still some snowshoes left, it appears).
