July 17, 2020 #12 | Mount Whitney: A tale of two journeys on the tallest mountain in the U.S. with Katie Beczak
On this episode I have LA based peak bagger, travel nurse, and adventurer, Katie Beczak (@katiefrances42), join me on the show. We talk about her wild Mount Whitney experience and how it was a tale of two journeys. One being a triumphant story of conquering the tallest mountain in the continental US and the other being a rescue story of her being saved by a helicopter. It was a day for the memory books that she will never forget and for the rest of our group as well. We dive into her training for Mount Whitney, how the Pacific Northwest sparked her hiking passion, and her experience being a nurse on the frontlines testing for COVID 19. To conclude the episode, Katie leaves a powerful message of gratitude to her fellow hiking community.

June 24, 2020 #9 | Conquering Mt. Whitney in one day (22 miles), Surviving San Gorgonio, Tips to prevent altitude sickness, and Hiking as Therapy with Kay Treso
On this episode I have California based peak bagger, explorer, nurse, and international trekker, Kaye Treso (@the_petite_trekker), join me on the show. We talk about our epic journey conquering Mt. Whitney - the tallest mountain in the continental United States @ 14,508 feet. We did this as a 22 mile day hike in July 2019 and it was an adventure for the books that we will never forget - one of our group members got injured and was helicoptered off the mountain by Search and Rescue. Kaye and I were on the mountain for 22.5 hours and even led another hiker safely down. We talk about her training for Mt Whitney, tips on how to prevent altitude sickness, and how she uses hiking as a powerful tool to fight anxiety and depression. We also reminisce about our first hike Mt Baldy and how we survived an intense lightning storm on San Gorgonio which is the tallest mountain in Southern California @ 11,500 feet. Kaye may be "The Petite Trekker" but she is an absolute beast on the trails.
