A few months ago I had a conversation with climber, historian, writer and podcast producer, Christian Beckwith. He’s been working on this really incredible project called 90 Pound Rucksack, which details the remarkable history of the 10th Mountain Division and it’s influence on outdoor recreation in America

I have to admit, this chat was fun for me because I really do enjoy history and Christian - he’s basically an encyclopedia of information when it comes to the history of climbing in North America and the 10th Mountain Division.

So, if you’re interested in climbing, history, and the unique evolution of our sport, grab a beverage and settle in, cuz I think you’ll dig this conversation.
