Adventure Crusaders

This post links to two incredible groups of people who are taking on adventure that most of us didn't know existed.

The first is a group of five Americans who will compete in a race across the Atlantic. The amazing part is that they will be rowing the entire 3,100 nautical miles from New York Harbor to Falmouth, UK. Checkout the OAR Northwest website for updates on their crossing which begins June 10th. The guidelines for such a race are outlined on the Ocean Rowing Society webpage.

The second is a bunch of mountaineers from the Pacific Northwest. Members of this group have climbed and skied down most of the peaks in the Cascade range. Their trip reports have some amazing pictures and many great stories to browse through. If you're interested checkout both Cascade Classics and Cascade Crusades. One example of an incredible trip is the 50+ degree slope of Mount Fury. Checkout the second page for their decent on skis. These dudes are NUTS.
