Off Belay Podcast

On episode 4 of the Off Belay Podcast, we sit down with Justin Raphaelson. As written on his website: Justin is a writer, a climber, a mountaineer, and a conservationist. He also has a passion for taking cross country road trips to explore the great outdoors. Sensing the urgency to inform others of the beauty within our own country, and most importantly, maintaining that beauty for future generations; he started documenting his journeys.

When he’s not at his day job as an attorney, Justin can be found at the local crag or in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It has become paramount for Justin to find a way to use his writing and familiarity with the law to raise awareness not only for recreation in the outdoors but for its preservation. He documents his adventures on his blog; jccrosscountry.com. 

A property and criminal defense attorney based in Worcester, Massachusetts, Justin is a graduate of New England Law-Boston and has a B.A. in History from Clark University. He is also an executive board member of the Greater Worcester Land Trust.
