Peakery.com is your one-stop shop for finding mountains to climb

Mountaineers looking to discover new places to go climbing will want to add Peakery.com to their list of Internet favorites. The website is an online community for alpinists, giving them a place to meet, interact, and share information about their favorite mountains, while also posting summit reports from their recent climbs.

The site also includes intel on more than 300,000 mountains across the globe, offering information on their altitude, prominence, routes to the top, and much more.

Originally launched back in 2011, Peakery has seen steady growth in the years since. The site now boasts more than 11,000 active members, many of whom have shared personal stories about their own climbs, while logging summits on thousands of mountains all over the world. The information that those members share with one another has proven invaluable to others who are researching future expeditions and climbs of their own.

Recently Peakery.com underwent a redesign that has brought a host of new modern features to the site, some of which were detailed in a recent blog post from its developers. Among the things that were overhauled were overall site navigation and page design, which has helped to improve load time and general efficiency. But Peakery members also gained a lot of new functionality too, including the ability to upload GPS tracks from their expeditions and the opportunity to share the routes they take to the summit on the peaks that they bag.

The site also now offers the option to view the latest mountaineering activity in a user’s region and gives users improved summit logs with additional details that include larger photos, better video, maps, and details such as time on the mountain, distance, and elevation changes along the way.

Perhaps the most important update to the site’s design is the inclusion of mobile support. With its recent relaunch, Peakery now features three different page layouts, including one for use on desktops and laptops, another for tablets, and a third for smartphones. These layouts offer the same information — and in most cases the exact same functionality — just in a format that is best suited for the device that the site is currently being viewed upon.

As you can probably imagine, many members use the site while on the go, including when they’re actually on one of the mountains in its database. Being able to access that data on their mobile devices not only makes good sense, but could prove crucial to their success and safety, too.

If you’re a climber, but not yet a member, head over to Peakery.com to check out the site. If you’ve used Peakery in the past, then the new redesign is a good excuse to check it out once again. Chances are you’ll find some info that could prove helpful the next time you go out peak bagging.

This Costway outdoor pizza oven isn’t messing around — $169 off for Black Friday
Costway outdoor pizza oven on patio

Forget those indoor-friendly pizza ovens. Forget the low-flame and low-smoke options. Me, personally, I want the real deal. That's why when I came across the Costway outdoor pizza oven I knew I had to share. It comes with a pizza stone, for authentic stone-cooked pizza duh, and a waterproof cover to protect the grill. But here's the best part: It can fire-cook a 12-inch homemade pizza pie. Oh, yes. Normally $309, it's on sale today for $140, which saves you $169. That is an incredible deal, let alone for something like this that can handle the fire and brimstone. It's live already alongside some other great early Black Friday deals.

 
Why should I buy this Costway outdoor pizza oven for Black Friday?
The best thing to do when it's time to cook, in my humble opinion, is to head outside and light up my trusty Blackstone. It works great, but if I want to wood fire a pizza I'll need something else. That's precisely where this Costway outdoor pizza oven comes in handy. You can adjust the level of fire and smoke to create a perfectly cooked pizza for your family, charred or not. The dual thermometer makes it easy to adjust the temperature when it's lit. Moreover, the under storage allows you to place some wood, utensils, or whatever else you might need -- so you're not always traipsing back to your shed, house or garage.

Be ready for storm season: Dual fuel portable generator is $150 off today
Pulsar dual fuel portable generator with gas can in background

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that a ton of early Black Friday deals have dropped. There are the usual suspects like laptops, electronics, gaming gear, and beyond. But me, I prefer to pick up unusual items during the huge holiday sales. You know exactly what I mean, the kind of stuff that doesn't usually go on sale any other time. One of those items is a portable generator. Where I live it seems like they rarely go on sale, and when you need them most they're never in stock. People flock to the stores to buy them just before a big storm. Well, right now, Pulsar and Walmart have an incredible deal on a 12,000-watt dual-fuel generator. Normally $900 it's down to $749 which saves you $151. It can run for up to 12 hours on an 8-gallon fuel tank.

We're not even to the official Black Friday yet and already I'm feeling the deals fatigue. If I'm going to get around these next couple of weeks I'll need something that does all the work. Something like, you guessed it, an e-bike. Enter Velotric with its excellent selection of e-bikes, which tend to rate highly here amongst my colleagues. The Velotric Discover 2, for example, received high marks -- 4.5 stars. But while we do love a good product or two here at Digital Trends, we also love us some great deals and discounts. That's why we couldn't pass up the opportunity to share these Velotric on the Discover 1 Plus and Discover 2.
