Casual Headbands Summer Series: Risking Life to Keep it Casual at Yosemite!

Our next entry might be our most daring yet.  It comes from the top of Half Dome, in Yosemite National Park.  Yes, I know someone went swimming with great white sharks last year but scaling 4,800 feet in a day sets a new level of casual dedication.

Casual Headbands Summer Series: Keeping It Casual In Alaska!

This week's entry in the contest that has changed the face of the social media comes to us from the majestic slopes of Mount McKinley in Alaska!  Did you know that the first recorded attempt to climb Mount McKinley was by Judge James Wickersham in 1903, via the Peters Glacier and the North Face, now known as the Wickersham Wall?  Or that this route has tremendous avalanche danger and was not successfully climbed until 1963?

You betcha!
