This layer is a fortress

a month ago
This is my favorite layer for ice and mixed climbing. It does not matter whether the route is so wet that you need a snorkel. You will be dry. It does not matter if you are grinding it up a mixed chimney. It will hold up to the abuse. There are lighter and more breathable layers in the lineup, but if you want to wear a fortress, this is the ticket.

Durable and keeps a person dry

a month ago
I ordered the one that looked more orange than the yellow jacket, and was surprised at how bright it was when it arrived in the mail - it is mostly yellow. I'm not convinced that it's worth the high price tag, but it is a good quality rain jacket that kept me dry in some pretty intense wet and cold spring mountain weather. Fit is roomy so you can layer all kinds of things underneath.

I’ve had a few of these jackets. They do not stay waterproof for very long and delaminate quickly. Not a big fan.

Nepal, me and the Alpha SV

a month ago
There’s a hesitation just for a moment. I sit on this plane, pondering what I’m about you get into. My plane is delayed at the gate and all I have is time and a sandwich to eat . My brain however is going wild with thoughts. Four years ago, I was chosen by the mountains to be one with it. I was chosen to be a fearless warrior and protector of the forest, a title that I hold dear to me. What started with the Appalachian and Continental Divide Trails and blossomed into a bigger dream. Here, lies my gateway to the Himalayans, a place that I had watched on various documentaries and on YouTube. Never in my life would I have thought “Dragonsky, you’re going to the Himalayans” It’s not like I doubted myself but there was a part of me that asked myself if I’m worthy? Mountaineering has always been my passion since starting my hiking journey as soon and I have a romantic relationship. I constantly ask myself Who am I? And how will this experience change me? I have a deep feeling in the pit of my stomach that I’m going to be captivated in such a way that I’m going to be persuaded to climb these giants. Many of these beauties stand at 8000m and I’ve been pondering them from time to time. It was documentaries like the American Ascent - The first African American team sent to Denail, it was learning about the first Black woman to summit Denali and Full circle Everest that sparked my interest. I remember seeing a mountaineer talk in Colorado about how they tried to balance the sexes on the team but there was a lack of qualified Black women in mountaineering. A spark ignited within me, eventually becoming a fire that I couldn’t quench. What would it take to me a mountaineer? How could I get quality training in a place that values and respects me as a person? I’m a high-level ambassador for Arc’teryx New York and I feel like that’s a huge step to becoming the woman I’m striving so hard to become. My team has equipped me with the gear to succeed in Nepal- my purple down puffy, hiking pants and such but the Alpha SV beta whose durability has proven resilience which is enough to push me through the toughest conditions. The White Mountains couldn’t even penetrate that beast of a coat! Layering it underneath effectively is key to staying warm in treacherous conditions and one that somehow I’ve mastered over the years. This was the best severe weather coat a warrior could ask for! Through every tantrum and fierce altercation I’ve had with the mountains, my Alpha SV Jacket has clapped back without any signs of battle. Complete with pit zips, pockets inside and out for safekeeping and cuffs and a hood that can be adjusted via Velcro or a pull of a string, yeah I’m sold. The only thing that I disliked was that the color is black and anyone who knows me, knows I’m a colorful human in every way. I know that I will be able to depend on the Alpha SV in the Himalayans. I’m excited to give her more of a test at higher elevations. I aspire to be a mountaineer. It is my destiny. The Himalayans are my first chapter to the change I wish to become but I wonder if I’ll ever be the same ever. What scares me the most, is never being able to look back at thru-hiking and feeling inspired to know these giant serrated mountains of the Himalayans, no matter what the cost. I have always been a go-getter and I have realized happiness isn’t something that I can sit back and wait for. I’m going to keep striving until I can stand on the top of Kilimanjaro, Denali and one day Manaslu or another peak in the Himalayans that calls to me. I am only limited when I tell myself that I can’t. The risks are big, even deadly but the rewards as I can imagine are something that cannot be explained with words. All I know is that I’m ready for this next chapter in my life and the Alpha SV is coming with me.
