The Adventure Podcast

On this week's episode of The Adventure Podcast we take a look at one of the most iconic feats in the world of outdoor adventure — The Seven Summits. We take a deep dive into the mountains that make up this list, the origins of the idea of the Seven Summits, and how they are still relevant even after hundreds of people have climbed them all. But before diving into that topic, we cover a wide range of Adventure News, including controversy surrounding Nike's high-tech marathon shoes, an update on Nims Purja on Shishapangma, and an $80,000 trip to the North Pole by blimp. Later, Dave and Kraig share their weekly gear picks, with Kraig offering his thoughts on a great travel pack from Cotopaxi, while Dave talks fleece-lined pants!

Dave and Kraig are back this week with a new episode of The Adventure Podcast. As usual, they start things off with Adventure News with the latest on the autumn climbing seaon in the Himalaya, a sub-two hour marathon, and the youngest female hiker ever on the Appalachian Trail. Next, we'll get the rundown on Kraig's recent visit to the country of Jordan, before the boys share their Gear Pick's for the week, which include an electronic language translator called Jarvisen and a retro-inspired backpack.
