The Canyons Are Calling

Today Jason and I interview each other for our podcasts. Jason is the host of one of my favorite podcast, G.O. Get Outside. When covid hit he stopped his show and I started mine a year laer. He started his show up again in Nov 2023 so I wanted to have him on the show. We decided to interview each other. You can listen to his interview with me here:

Braxton and Wesley decided to do Imlay and Heaps canyons in one day in Nov 2023. We chat about how they got the idea, what they did to train and the thing they learned in the canyons that day.

Eric has been exploring the Glacier area and other parts of Montana and Idaho. We talk about some of his first descents and other adventures he had this year and some of the major lessons he learned. Especially when he did Heaps in Zion with a person, he had never canyoned with. We talk about the new website he is working with routes and ethics for Montana.

Sorry it's been a while since I have posted an episode, I have miss you all.

In this mini episode Hannah and I talk about Cyanobactin and how it effects the water we recrate in. You can see photos and learn more about the bacteria here: HABs.utah.gov.. they also have the current water conditions there.

I am starting a mini-series about flash floods to raise awareness about the crazy desert rains. This episode I tell my personal story about a flash flood in Rock Canyon while guiding in my early days. Please know the weather for the drainage you plan to drop into.

Z broke his ankle in Mystery Canyon. It hurt really bad!! He was trying to steam over a shallow pothole so he would get wet. He would have to get wet later in the canyon anyway. He said in hide sight he would have just gone through the shallow pool knowing he would have to get wet later. The risk was not worth the consequence that day. He was able to hike out with the help of his amazing Crue.
