We Upgraded to Oura Ring 4

Posted on January 22, 2025January 27, 2025 by Backcountry Fever

My wife and I just upgraded our smart rings to the Oura Ring 4.  After both of our Fitbits broke in 2021, we switched to Oura in 2022.  Oura was getting rave reviews about their sleep tracking accuracy and I was super interested in this form factor.   I did a whole writeup about my Love-Hate relationship with the ŌURA Experience and later added another post here about measuring VO2max with an Oura Ring.

So when Oura announced the next generation of this health tracking device last Fall, I knew we’d be upgrading shortly thereafter.  My wife was first to get one in November and I held off until the new year.  I’m excited to experience the improvements that were made on an already-impressive hardware design.  Its sleeker design is noticeably more comfortable and I’m hopeful about what changes were made to improve activity sensing.  Now if they would just address some of those Oura App annoyances.

For those interested in doing Deseret Peak... the snow is still in the couloirs, but only for a little while longer!

The best way to slide down a snowy slope in Spring conditions is like this...

Didn`t get much mountaineering in this Spring, so trying to catch the last bit of something before the snow`s all gone.

Bagged Bierstadt today! Thought I could get Evans too, but took one look at The Sawtooth and went "nope"! I was also by myself... either way, that stretch looked intense even without the snow.

Is there any other way to conclude an epic adventure but with a nice thick juicy burger?? ...I think not!

It was a grueling day, but I made it!! It took 10h 32m to go only 2 miles from Camp 3, but we gained 3,400 feet in that distance. It`s by far the hardest thing I`ve ever done, physically and mentally.

Gotta love a good day of rest. It`s breezy at Camp 2, but the sun is bright and warms up our tents like a little greenhouse. The forecast remains stable for a summit attempt on Tuesday morning. So that means we will move to Camp 3 tomorrow, which should be another tough one. It`s only 1 mile away, but gains about 1,500` to 19,500 and our loads aren`t too much lighter. We ate some and will be wearing more, so hopefully that helps. Other than that, with no wi-fi above 18,000`, will give the next update on Wednesday.
