A 4th grade classroom demonstration that involved a backpack--a solo Denali summit--navigating through horse guts on Gannet --Mohammad's Mountain Guiding Service--the Appalachian Trail- attempting the US territorial highpoints--what do these things all have in common? Tony Cobb.

Kristen shares her story from finding long distance running to hiking to her first highpoint in her home state of Texas, Guadalupe Peak. She didn't let a scare on Utah's highpoint stop her from reaching more summits and plans on finishing her last 5 soon! Enjoy my conversation with Kristen

Join me in this week’s conversation with Scott Halterman. Born and raised in Fresno, CA, Scott has been playing in the outdoors since he was young and stumbled on highpointing by accident after finding himself on the summit of Mt. Whitney as part of his journey along the John Muir Trail. Scott is a firefighter, paramedic, and ski patroller in the Tahoe region and has an impressive climbing resume.
I have no doubt Scott will complete all of his outdoors adventure goals and many more!
