We all view and react to risk in different ways. I sit down with friends Dan Vastayn, Chris Guyer, and Christian Baumeister to discuss how we deal with Risk. I like to view Risk Tolerance like a bank account, It constantly moves up and down depending on what is going on in your life. After this conversation, it became obvious to me that we all manage and react to risk in different ways. What works for me may not work for you. We have to find our own path and willingness to engage in risk. But the most dangerous risk tolerance is the one attached to running away from something in your life. Is risk your drug?

No matter where you are at in your climbing career this conversation will resonate with you. Doug Shepherd has been a long-time friend, mentor, and climbing partner. He was always my first call for taking on big objectives in the mountains. I learned a ton from Doug about climbing when I needed his mentorship the most. Doug was always the most comfortable committed on a big face in the mountains. Doug made a name for himself scratching around Rocky Mountain National Park in the early 2000s while going to school and doing his Postdoc. After losing several close friends to the mountains, Doug decided to take a pause to evaluate his relationship with climbing. After nearly 3 years of not climbing he made a trip to visit me to throw his tools and sink his toes into the ice. We talk about how it feels to be back climbing and what he learned from taking a step back from his climbing career.

I sit down with Joe Josephson who has more than likely written an ice climbing guidebook that you have had in your hands or want in your hands. He started ice climbing in the late 1980s and did the first ascent of Sea Of Vapors and Terminator on the Trophy Wall in Canada. He shares some great stories including taking a 60-foot ice whipper for a TV commercial and a close call while soloing the Grand Central Coulior on Mount Kitchener. Sit down and enjoy the stories and history he has to share!
NOTE: There is a slight echo in the recording. Sorry still figuring this out!

Jack Tackle's climbing first ascents spread around the world. His name is sketched into Alpine history as one of the legends pushing fast and light ascents in the alpine before gear was even light. He is most well-known for his Alaska adventures and incredible storytelling. In this episode, I tap into his 40+ years of climbing knowledge. How is Jack still alive after all that he has done? He shares what he has learned in those years and talks about why he chose to pursue a professional career and a climbing career. Don't miss the story of his partner cutting himself from the rope while hanging in space below him...

Over the course of 10 years John Frieh made 18 trips to the Alaska range and stood on top of 16 summits. 16 of those trips were Smash and Grab. Meaning he only spent 2-4 days in the range to put up 10 new routes or first winter ascents. He did this all while having a full time job. If you have a full time job and big aspirations in the mountains, this will be a worth while listen. Perhaps there is no need to spend two weeks with your smelliest friends huddled in a tent in the mountains waiting for a weather window?
