Rock Hiking Trekking
Do dogs need boots when hiking with a load on?
I am planning on buying my dog a pack to carry his own water, extra leash, and perhaps some of my stuff, like a flashlight, small first aid kit, and etc on our hikes. Probably only about 10-15lbs worth of stuff (I may increase the weight as he grows accustomed to it). Just wondering if he will need boots to protect his pads from sharp rocks and things. Are dog's pads not designed to support more than the dogs own weight?
Some background: My dog is an (approximately) 18 month old male, 80lbs, Doberman/German Shepherd mix. He is on the active side, goes for long, brisk walks daily, and has been hiking several times with me before (without a pack), and it was a breeze for him. We usually do a 4-5 mile trek.
Boots are to protect the paws from extreme cold and heat. They aren't needed for hiking under normal conditions with or without a pack. You may want to consider packing a set incase of a paw injury as they can be used to help protect the injured paw for the walk back out, but other than that you dog doesn't need to wear them.

| | Leki Carbonlite Aergon Speedlock Trekking Poles $179.95 LEKI, the world's leading manufacturer of ski, hiking and trekking poles had its start in Kircheim, Germany as a hobby of its founder, Karl Lenhart, an airframe mechanic and avid skier. Lenhart believed aluminum would make a superior ski pole compared to the heavy steel models available in the late 1940's. After successfully creating light- weight poles for his friends, in 1954, the hobby became a full time business. Stupid light, these trekking poles were made to cover long distances while providing the most support possible. Carbonlite construction replaces traditional aluminum for a lighter and stronger pole, while SpeedLock fasteners made for quick and rock solid adjustments. Other hikers will look like they're walking with crutches when you blast by them with these solid poles.Features:AERGON GripSpeedLock Locking SystemInterchangeable Basket SystemCarbide FlextipWeight: 14.6 oz/pair, Length: 67-135 cm |

There are town guides to Leh (capital of Ladakh), Manali, and Delhi, including street plans, what to see, hotels, and restaurants for all budgets. There`s also background information on history, culture, and language; plus comprehensive sections on health and mountain safety.The guide is particularly strong on environmental preservation: minimum impact for maximum insight.

Can anyone recommend some great rock climbing/hiking gloves?
I have discovered a love or hiking and many of my recent hikes have been where rock slides have occurred. I’m looking for a great pair of gloves to help prevent my palms from getting cut up. Please include a link if possible! Thanks!
What you are describing is called scrambling its hiking while climbing over rocks using you hands and feet. The first link is about scrambling and safety etc. They dont make scrambling gloves per say but any leather glove would do. Anything from leather construction gloves to fitted belay gloves. The second link shows gloves that would be suitable for scrambling. Have fun be safe!

Rock Climbing Bouldering
Building a rock climbing bouldering cave in my backyard?
I have an area in my back yard that would be perfect for a bouldering cave. It is about 20 feet by 20 feet (probably a little more). I was just wondering what are some tips on building one in my back yard? also I live in texas, would heat be an issue with the construction?
I build one last summer and I live in Florida and heat han't been an issue so far...
Best tips:
- use pressure treated wood so the humidity wont rot them
- paint all the wood to further protect it from the weather
- set at least on or two of the supports in concrete (you can buy a bag of concrete mix at a home improvment store)
- look on craigs list / online for good deals on holds (I got 110 holds for $200)
Good luck!
