28d ago1:11:02

1:11:02

In today's ever increasingly polarized world it can be difficult to have challenging conversations.

Today, we're diving into something that most of us are all familiar with - Mountain Project. It's the guidebook that's always at our fingertips, supported and enriched by our very own community.

The mountains will try to kill us and yet they have no malice. . They freeze us and yet warm our souls. . They fill our lives with joy and yet have nothing tangible to give. .

2M ago1:05:14

1:05:14

Have you ever imagined what kinda person you have to be mentally and physically to climb some of the hardest routes in the world? Maybe how that person views themselves and their own accomplishment?

59 | The Timeless Nature of Climbing Partnerships w/ Bryce Ungersma 1:03:54

3M ago1:03:54

1:03:54

Today we are sitting down with my good friend Bryce. Funny enough, I met Bryce before either of us were climbers.

57 | "Yer Gonna Die" - Elitism In Climbing w/ Landon McDowell 1:10:55

4M ago1:10:55

1:10:55

I would argue that our climbing community is mostly open, kind, and understanding. But I am sure we all have our own experiences with people who are not. The silent judgy squad that think they own the crag. The keyboard warrior that spreads hate, judgment, and negativity behind the protection of a screen. Today we sit down with Landon McDowell, a s…

Welcome to the last episode of 2023. Thank you so much for being a part of our growing community…It means a lot to Kyle and I that you are here.

54 | The Seven Volcanic Summit Infinity Loops w/ Jason Hardrath 1:20:55

5M ago1:20:55

1:20:55

This podcast is no stranger to traumatic life altering accidents. It is easy to let these events cripple us, and hard to allow them to transform us. Jason Hardrath, PE teacher from Klamath Fall, OR and competitive endurance athlete who’d just qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Found himself ejected from a moving vehicle. He suffere…

52 | Alone On The Cassin Ridge w/ Nathan Longhurst 1:54:09

6M ago1:54:09

1:54:09

The Mountains test us, and shape us. We cannot lower the mountains. So we must elevate ourselves to their level. We should strive to choose goals in life that will challenge us, test us and that we think are impossible. Only through aiming at the highest peaks we can possibly envision will we truly transcend the suffering of the world to find meani…

7M ago1:18:26

1:18:26

As climbers we are aware of the finality of our actions. The possibility of death is always looming. Paradoxically, knowing this, is what can make us feel so alive. We know our actions have consequences, and only through the mastery of body and emotions can those consequences be mitigated to avoid the finality of death. Our guest today is no strang…

49 | Failed Protection & Rope Soloing w/ Colin Jokisch 1:17:41

8M ago1:17:41

1:17:41

Climbing can be risky, and it's easy to overlook those risks when you've never experienced them first hand. You might hear stories of injuries or even fatalities, but until you experience something first hand you are missing a true understanding of the risks you are taking. Enter Colin Jokisch, a seasoned climber whose world changed after a near-fa…

47 | Climbing The Matterhorn w/ Joshua Kasumovic 1:21:51

9M ago1:21:51

1:21:51

Climbing larger mountains, especially ones that are far away from home… takes a lot of planning, training, logistics, and a little bit of luck. We spend months preparing for what sometimes comes down to a single day on a mountain. So what happens when you're 700 ft from the summit, and you realize touching the top might mean you won’t come back? Wh…

46 | Close Calls While Skiing Solo On Denali w/ AMGA Guide Alex Mitchko 1:39:04

9M ago1:39:04

1:39:04

As mountain athletes it's easy to get consumed by our objectives and our drive to continuously improve and get stronger can be draining. It can make us forget that one of the most meaningful parts of the mountains is the people we meet on the way, the bonds we form and the experiences shared. In this conversation we explore what drives a 25 year ol…

45 | Developing Wild & Untouched Boulder Fields w/ Brendan Baars 1:09:40

9M ago1:09:40

1:09:40

The cool thing about climbing is that it means something different to everyone. From the weekend warrior trad dad to the dedicated dirtbag, each of us has our own reasons for interacting with the vertical plane. For Brenden, he has always wanted climbing to mean something to him, and for his efforts in the climbing community to mean something to ot…

44 | Summiting Denali w/ Max Carrier 1:44:27

10M ago1:44:27

1:44:27

As climbers we all have our own goals and ambitions. In 2019 I had the goal of climbing the tallest mountain in North America. I had just recently completed an ironman and was looking for my next challenge. Life had other plans for me though. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic and a fall that nearly took my life all happened in 2021. Fast forward…

11M ago1:42:08

1:42:08

As a budding trad climber, climbing hard and improving my grades is something I've struggled with the last several years. Time, energy, and life commitments can make it hard to focus on certain goals. As someone who is always looking to improve, sometimes I need help organizing and focusing on the correct things with my limited time. You've probabl…

42 | The Mountains Are In My Blood w/ Steph Abegg 1:30:02

11M ago1:30:02

1:30:02

As we’ve seen on this podcast, there can be some serious consequences to playing in the mountains. But one thing that seems to stay consistent, is that no matter how traumatic the injury, how devastating the loss, we are always finding our way back to the mountains. Why is that? What calls us back to the activity and environment that caused the pai…

41 | Get Out Of Your Own Way w/ Kevin Roet 1:21:47

11M ago1:21:47

1:21:47

Have you ever walked up to a route saying “I can’t do this' ' or “I am going to fall, I just know it”. What happens? Chances are your prediction of the future comes true. Our own internal dialogue, whether negative or positive, shapes our reality. But how do we change our perception of ourselves, become aware of our internal dialogue, and learn to …

1y ago2:16:31

2:16:31

As an amateur alpinist I love climbing ice, it is such a foreboding medium to climb on. Here one day and gone the next, it is ephemeral in nature. But for anyone who has swung an ice axe into a beautiful line of frozen water, you know the satisfaction that the sport of ice climbing can provide. Our guest today is Philip Setter, Philip is an avid ic…

In our last conversation we sat down with a gentleman by the name of Mike Tagg where talked about the ethics behind climbing on wet rocks and provided a way for us, The Majority, to make better, well informed decisions on when we can climb after a a rain.

37 | Climbing On Wet Rocks...An Ethical Debate w/ Mike Tagg 1:10:00

1y ago1:10:00

1:10:00

I don’t know about you, but this winter has been insane for us on the west coast. Record snowfall, rainfall, and constant cold weather. While it does seem like we are finally coming to a close of this long winter as temps are warming up, one thing in my mind that has stuck out the most, and that is the debate of climbing on wet rocks. Wet rocks are…

36 | From 5.6 to 5.12R in Two Years w/ Joey Latina 1:06:15

1y ago1:06:15

1:06:15

Most of the time we come across successful climbers after their massive accomplishments…the climbs, first ascents, and daring projects that put their name on the map. But rarely do we get to meet or hear about these people before their time. Before their groundbreaking achievements that cast them into the limelight. Today is one of those days. We g…

1:23:27

As we are sure most of you know accidents happen to the best of us and when you spend enough time in places with severe hazards it's not a question of if, but when. Nevertheless, it is easy to get complacent, and comfortable and that's when things go wrong. Today, we sit down with IFMGA certified mountain guide Dale Remsberg. We connected with Dale…

1y ago1:43:29

1:43:29

Recently I've been seeking mentorship and guidance to help improve my climbing. This can be a tricky endeavor, finding someone you trust and respect can be challenging.
