On this episode I have Pacific Northwest based trekker, climber, photographer, videographer, mountaineer, and OG member of the Just Trek Crew, Francis Ngo, join me on the show.

We chatted about Francis’s incredible achievement of summiting the iconic 14,000-foot  Mount Rainier in Washington State. We dove into what inspired him to take on this bucket-list climb, the challenges of his first attempt when he and his team had to turn back, and the highs and lows of his successful summit — from the emotions of reaching the peak to the grueling descent. We also chatted about his life in Seattle & the Pacific Northwest and how Francis and myself have shared tons of trail memories together. What made this recording extra memorable is that we captured it in person inside Mount Rainier National Park, with the mountain itself as our breathtaking backdrop.
