Greg hill is known for setting records; climbing 2 million vertical feet in one year, climbing 50k vertical feet in a day and the travel involved in record breaking created a huge carbon footprint.  That’s all in the past as Greg has radically changed his way of life, becoming Electric Greg, who’s all about electric and human powered adventures.  The podcast is a mix of goal crushing, deadly avalanches, and more.
