Episode Summary: Big climbs and lady problems (in my 30's???!!!). Listen along as we recount my (Yeti Legs') first week on the Colorado Trail with sound bites included throughout for a little extra "something". It's a bit of a fun ride and we'd love to know what you think about those inserted trail sound bites.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Yeti Walks Into Basecamp we cover a lengthy question of the day that involves a lot of personal unpacking for us as we detail our experiences with life off trail. We then interview two of the unsung heroes from our PCT 2022 hike, Michelle Nagle and Amber Gee. Michelle and Amber ran our social media accounts and assisted with shipments of resupply boxes/gear, respectively. They were a vital part of our journey, and we felt they needed some good old recognition.
