It can be hard to identify with a character like the prostitute Hosea was commanded to marry BUT it can be very helpful. The church may look rough right now and we may be tempted to do some finger waggin'.....before we do, let's have a chat.

My most chaotic and unorganized episode to date!....but i know how patient my lisyeners are and I thank you. This was a test run to see if recordings from podbean will allow access to my spotify account.

Driving all the way from Kansas, Ethan has found himself 5 summits away from completing all of Colorados 14,000 ft peaks. Not only does he find the time to climb, he has the ability to know when to turn around. Enjoy this very interesting conversation between two lovers of the mountains.

Rock and ice climber...14er finisher..80/100 centennials and all around fun guy. Travis and I met on Mt. Massive during the winter and since then I have followed his climbing and approach. Lucky to have him on the pod.... Ladies and gentlemen... Travis Terrell!

Chris "Short-Rope" Stiffler of the Non-Standard 14er Podcast joins me on blizzard day '21 to talk about mountain adventures. The storm made for some awkward moments with lag and we even got disconnected a couple times. To hear some of the background stories to how his Podcast started and how some of his relationships were formed was especially fun for me being a consumer of his content.

A very humble man that knows his stuff. Please take an hour out of your day to listen to this gem. Currently living in my hometown of Aurora, Will has become a 14er finisher and it's striving to get them all done in the winter as well! This man has grit, can't wait to see all that he accomplishes! Without further adue... Will Erickson.

I recently had a chance to hike with Ted on the east ridge of Mt. massive and pick his brain. I was so impressed with him that I had to have him on. His knowledge goes much further than this hour long conversation so hopefully I will have him on again. Enjoy.

This episode is filled with little nuggets of adventuring gold. Not only has he finished all 58 of Colorado's 14ers but he has also climbed Devil's Tower and successfully submitted Mt. Denali in Alaska. I pick his brain for wisdom while trying to stay on topic. Enjoy.

Spencer joins me for a long form conversation about the great outdoors. We talk about the climbs we squeezed in before winter as well as some great information about getting down from crestone needle. Colorado climbers will definitely benefit from this conversation. As winter approaches, we encourage a heavier and more thought out packs as well as hiking with a partner. Stay safe out there.

Riding high off my little bear to Blanca traverse, I try bagging the Crestones traverse before a winter storm with my buddy Gareth AKA Rock Hops. We were good until broken hand pass but once we reached the other side, instead of losing elevation and walking around the needle to the backside approach to crestone peak.... We cliffed out on the needle trying to take a short cut. Sometimes you summit and sometimes you don't but the adventure will always be remembered. The summit is optional and the return is mandatory. Stay safe out there and enjoy this winter episode.
