Outside's inaugural 'The Greatest' list

Outside magazine is one of my favorites. It has great content supplied by great writers and contributors. For those reasons, I pass along to you an interesting “editors’ choice awards” list the magazine featured in its March issue, simply titled, “The Greatest.”
For this inaugural list, the magazine’s editors “gathered 51 of our favorite things into a rollicking compendium of capital ideas, sublime destinations, brilliant equipment and more.” Along they way, they tell of their favorite adventures, gear, beer, events, books and more.
Below, I’m giving you the short version of the list. For more details, read the complete story online at http://outside.away.com/outside/culture/201003/editors-choice-51-46.html.
