Welcome to our world.
Travel off the road,
off the beaten track.
Travel to the end of the earth,
and to your own center.

Travel to discover the world anew,
On the way you will experience the unforeseen,
Come up against new situations,
Make decisions again and again
And though you really have no idea now what it will really be like
It is exactly what you anticipate

Smacks of high adventure,
And it is a great adventure
You therefore need a vehicle that offers dependability and safety on route
A vehicle that affords well being and quality of life,
even under extreme conditions
A vehicle tailored to your personal requirements
This is the standard every Unicat vehicle meets.

Mature engineering which shows also in the details ensures your safety
Customized solutions realize individual needs
An integrated vehicle concept satisfies highest demands
No matter where the journey takes you

Achieving this quality level calls for intelligent structures and a broad based approach
Specialized staff from various departments work hand in hand
Utilize synergies and constantly devise new solutions
State of the art machinery and equipment
Facilities like our own testing grounds simply expect them
Knowhow and competence built upon technical superiority
Plus experience, experience, experience

You wish to travel cross frontiers
Break new ground
Marvel at unspoiled nature
Master extreme situations
You set off and already have reached your destination

Unicat wishes you a good journey

UNICAT

Have you ever wondered? We have. A lot.

Oh, this is happy news

We're doomed. If we can't take care of the animals, how can we be expected to take care of ourselves?

Slippery Slab

North Cascades, kinda near Steven Pass

Camera Phone video before we start.

We later had to change routes since I couldn't lead the mossy second pitch.

This was the first part of the climb, just a scramble. I'm hauling a full rack and a 70m climbing rope.

This was the first and only pitch, and it was kinda a combo of a slab/ramp and a chimney. The tough part was a small finger width crack I had to do my best to cram my fingers in. I sketched out a couple of times, as it was pretty damned hard to get decent foot placement. I damn near peeled off.

Brian and I on the top of slippery slab tower, about 2:30pm. We signed the summit register and headed home.

Not a great shot, but the tower in the background is what we climbed. We were back at the car in 1.5 hours and home by 7pm.

Yoga GOOD

So, we do Yoga 2x a week. Been going about 2 months now. Man, I really like it. Good for stretching, good for muscle work. Little bit of Meditation. Yoga has it all. Most importantly I am climbing better than I ever have before and my calves no longer ache in pain because they are so tight.

These are the Yoga poses I know:

Froggie - Pigeon - Crow - Side Crow - Bird of Paradise - Down Dog - Up Dog - Baby Cobra - Happy Baby - Warrior 1, 2 and 3 - Boat Pose - Plank - Childs Pose.

There are others, but that is ALL I can think of now. I can almost do this:
