" Dive into their epic feat: http://win.gs/BehindChainReaction The Red Bull Air Force is a team assembled from the most accomplished and experienced aviation experts on the planet. Set against the backdrop of the Fisher Towers in Moab, Utah, the team uses pain-staking coordination to showcase their aerial talents all at once.

Momentum wants to support the local climbing community in any way that we can. That's why our Regional Manager Chris McFarland and Regional Facilities Director Rich Connors decided to learn more about technical trail work from the SLCA and the Access Fund. In a this three day event, Chris and Rich learned the details of the ongoing Lower Little Cottonwood Climbing Trail Access Project and how to build sustainable trails that will useable for years to come. Momentum and the SLCA encourages everyone to stay informed, help when able and to always respect the Wasatch that we love! Join the SLCA today at http://www.saltlakeclimbers.org/.

Ace Kvale turned 60 last fall, and to celebrate, he planned a 60-day, off-trail backpacking trip around Utah's Canyon Country, leaving from his front door. He had a dozen friends join him for different sections of the trip, and one friend who joined him for the whole thing: his blue heeler, 10-year-old Genghis Khan aka 'Desert Dog'. Covering over 400 miles on their journey presented it's challenges but the special relationship between Ace and Genghis proved most powerful. This project was proudly supported by http://www.vasque.com/ CREDITS Starring Ace Kvale Genghis Khan aka Desert Dog Directed by Brendan Leonard Forest Woodward Stefan Hunt Cinematography Forest Woodward Max Lowe Brendan Leonard Editing by Stefan Hunt Matt Earl Tyler Bell Produced by Joe Peters Brendan Leonard Forest Woodward Design by Seth Neilson Animation by Drew Meier Sound by Jonny Higgins Color Grade by Matt Fezz Photos of Ace Mark Shapiro No dogs were harmed in the making of this dogumentary.

Inspired to create a climbing area in Lebanon, we were welcomed with enthusiasm, a rich cultural heritage and great potential for establishing a new climbing destination. The response of locals is tremendous. Our non-for-profit organization the Rock climbing Association for Development aims to improve the lives of locals through rural tourism. See www.r-a-d.org for more information.
