Cliff camping is extreme sleeping for insane people. Follow award-winning travel writer Aaron Millar up to the top of the Rocky Mountains for a terrifying night sleeping on a portaledge, suspended 500-feet above the ground on a sheer cliff face. Lighting strikes, emergency rappelling in the pitch dark, vertigo and the scariest pee in the world. But when the dawn breaks, and the mountains flood with color, we discover the true meaning and purpose of adventure. Dare to be truly alive.

The Armchair Explorer podcast is adventure storytelling with beats, original music and cinematic effects. Each episode one of the world's greatest adventurers tell their best story from the road. No long-winded interviews, just straight to heart of the action.
