My Running

I really like mountain terrain, ridges, steeps, scrambles, and don’t really mind the old bushwhack. If I’m in the alpine then I’m stoked. I’ve been running for almost two years and I’m currently training for an unsupported WURL.

My Gear

La Sportiva Bushido IIIs, Akasha IIs, and the Mutants. I use a Black Diamond Distance 8 (old gen) and Patagonia Slope Runner Exploration 3L vests. Black Diamond Distance poles and Black Diamond Venom LT ice axe.

I just picked one up from you guys the other day and took it for a run. Is it supposed to be nearly impossible to get the flask in while wearing the belt? I have to wrestle it out and back in each time I take a drink and it’s pretty frustrating especially considering how much praise the belt has gotten.
I wear the same size in both of these shoes.
