My guest in this month’s episode set out with a good friend to ski some specific objectives. They started from sea level and toured way up the mountain. This incident happened in Sogndal, Norway. The two of them had a steady ski tour and took the most direct route. Unfortunately, the weather changed and the higher they got, the worse the snow conditions became. This interview is one of only a handful of international episodes that I have produced and I want to help him share his story because Par is a survivor. He has tenacity and grit, and I am so excited for you to hear his full story.

Ep 108 - Emergency Bivy in Chamonix - Steve van Zutphen
Steve was in an accident back in 2019 in the Chamonix range in France. He was climbing with a friend, who also works on the Chamonix Rescue Helicopter Team. They got stuck in bad weather on the way down a route and ended up having to do an emergency bivi (without bivi gear) in a rapidly dug ice cave high up on the glacier. They learned a lot from this incident. Tune in this episode to hear more.

Ep 107 - Epic on Mount Evans - Nate Oakes
Nate Oakes had an epic while climbing a multi-pitch route on Mount Evans in Colorado. He says it was a learning experience in route planning, taking responsibility for making safe decisions, speaking up when you're uncomfortable, and being more prepared for what to do when things don't go according to plan. Now, Nate is a big believer in always carrying the ‘10 Essentials’ out on adventures. Tune in this episode to hear why.

Ep 106 - Solo Ground Fall - Chris Gardner
May of 2023, Chris set out to rope solo Virgin Wool (5.8 C2) in Arches National Park. The description of the first pitch read: "5.7 - sporty - no pro.” To Chris, it looked harder than a 5.7 from the ground, and he noticed a seam that he thought he could aid up, so he decided to try and aid climb the route. It didn’t go as planned and he ripped out two cams and fell 10 feet to the ground, landing on his heels before tumbling backwards. After a lot of self reflection (and therapy), Chris learned a bit about the psychology of climbing solo, and a bit more about risk management. Tune in this episode to hear more.
