Mount Shasta challenges, inspires and teaches
In its early hours, my first climb on Mount Shasta bore a striking resemblance to my family’s previous effort 15 years earlier. On that occasion, my dad and uncle tried to take my older brother and cousin (ages 10 and 12) up the same route, Avalanche Gulch. But a fierce storm struck them in the night too.

Beer, board games shine at this South Philly-style restaurant tucked in Siskiyou County
Will Maley is that rare someone who can describe a creation as specific and organic as Belgian beer with the reverence of an admirer who is more than just a beer drinker. He speaks of the famed lambics — naturally fermented brews particular to the small Pajottenland region southwest of Brussels, Belgium in the Senne river valley — in language that is part sommelier and part monk, describing the way the beer picks up the natural yeasts and microbes from the area.
