		<description><![CDATA[Part 2: Putting it all together Building a rack is an investment that is best viewed on a lifelong time frame. You’ll have to throw down on the front end, but aside from occasionally cleaning, re-lubing and re-slinging, cams will last many years.

		<description><![CDATA[Knee-deep in the gear room last June, I was confronted with a major dilemma: what rack to take for the summer? Heading mainly to Squamish and the Bugaboos in the Northwest, I realized that taking the entire arsenal would be overkill. A phone call to my friend Nate in Portland, Ore., quickly sorted things out.

His crew, The Wild Bunch (Ben, Nico Favresse, Olivier Favresse, and Seán Villanueva), share the honor with Katsutaka Yokoyama and Yasushi Okada because &#8220;these climbs truly represented the spirit of alpinism,&#8221; said Jury President Greg Child [...]]]></description>
