W-Trek Owner, Nodin
Nodin is the owner of W-Trek Outfitters and has been backpacking and climbing (ice and rock) for roughly 14 years. Favorite trails include the West Highland Way in Scotland and the Powwow Trail in the BWCA.

in 2001, Nodin created WhiskyTrek, which is where the 'W' in W-Trek comes from. WhiskyTrek is an annual backpacking trip / whisky tasting in the remote backcountry of the upper midwest (and once in Scotland).

Nodin's favorite pack is his Arc'teryx Bora 95 (it carries a lot of whisky). Favorite ice climbing gear includes Grivel Taa-koons and G-14 crampons and he also loves his C4 Camalots, Metolius Curve Nuts and Mammut Supersafe Rope.
