Ep. 226: World-Class Mountaineering Holiday Flashback - Chris Warner

When Adrian’s wife thought it would be a good idea to learn how to Paraglide, she probably didn’t foresee that in a relatively short amount of time, her husband would be summiting and flying solo off volcanoes near their home in Mexico City.Obviously, Adrian took to the sport quickly and it gave him a completely different view of his other favorite hobby, climbing. But with their recent family addition of a little girl and limited time off work, Adrian needed a way to summit mountains over 18,000 feet and return home in the same day. This led him to sleeping in a hypoxic chamber to decrease the amount of time needed to acclimate to high elevation.  Talk about dedication to adventure. What’s your excuse?Adrian will also be supporting Marko Hrgetic in the Red Bull X-Alps this June.Instagram: @ponchoelpilotohttp://youtube.com/ponchoelpilotoSupport Adventure Sports Podcast monthly by going to Patreon.com/AdventureSportsPodcast or make a one-time donation to the show here. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

From Rowman.com:“Marco Siffredi was the first person to make a complete snowboard descent of Mount Everest in 2001, and was regarded by many as the world’s best snowboarder. But the following year in 2002, Marco mysteriously disappeared on Everest while attempting a more difficult route known as Hornbein Couloir, an unrelentingly steep, difficult to access route with a high failure rate. Using exclusive never-before-granted interviews with family and friends, Evans aims to solve Everest's greatest mystery in nearly a century while exploring Marco's pursuit of a dream, his love of freedom and adventure, and how his French family was forever altered by his loss.”Jeremy Evans is a climber, snowboarder, award-winning journalist, and the author of The Battle for Paradise and In Search of Powder. Through his writing and adventures, he has connected with the most influential people in the climbing and skiing/snowboarding industries and encouraged them to tell their stories. This was most evident with subjects in the outdoor adventure field where Jeremy has been able to connect with climbers, skiers, and snowboarders worldwide.Find the book here: See You Tomorrow The Disappearance of Snowboarder Marco Siffredi on Everest.Watch the book trailer here: finisterrevisuals.comIs the price of gear holding you back from going on your next adventure or have extra gear you don’t need?

Originally aired June 3, 2019When Jessica Mills, aka “Dixie”, quit her engineering job and began her first thru-hiking adventure of the Appalachian Trail, she never imagined her YouTube channel would grow into what it has become. Through her easy-going demeanor, matter-of-fact advice, and overall charming attitude, she has become one of the go-to sources of advice, inspiration,  and how-to channels to learn about all things backpacking. I hope you enjoy this look behind the scenes of the Homemade Wanderlust channel and the triple-crowner who hosts it.Be sure to check out Dixie’s weekly videos here, which include her most recent thru hike, The Florida Trail: www.YouTube.com/c/homemadewanderlustFacebook: @HomemadeWanderlustInstagram: @HomemadeWanderlustWebsite/Blog: www.homemadewanderlust.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Originally aired October 06, 2016Lyndon Poskitt is an accomplished motorcycle racer and mechanical engineer from North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. He had an accident in 2013 that landed him in the hospital just long enough to contemplate how he was spending his time in life. This started Lyndon on his 2 1/2 year journey called Races to Places where he rides his modified KTM 690 Rally around the world entering it into local rally races. I caught up with Lyndon in El Paso, TX as he prepares to continue on the next leg of R2P down into South America to compete in the 2017 Dakar Rally in January.Website: racestoplaces.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/LyndonPoskittRacingYoutube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/adventurespecPatreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=3186891Twitter: @lyndonposkittInstagram: @lyndonposkittSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This show was originally aired on Without Compromise by Athletic Brewing. Taking the road less traveled will inevitably take some unexpected turns and uncover many unexpected opportunities. The key, as Seth says, is to follow the opportunities. He should know as the founder and creator of the premier mountain biking YouTube channel Berm Peak (formally known as Seth’s Bike Hacks), where Seth does mountain bike how-to’s, advice, and is currently building an entire mountain bike park in the mountains of western North Carolina. However, Seth’s story starts out in a way you wouldn’t expect a leading voice in the world of mountain biking to start, BMX riding in Miami. That didn’t stop him though. He picked up his camera and started recording anyway. Fast forward a handful of years and Seth is using his community's support to build a mountain bike park that will be open to the public. Find out more about Seth:YouTube channel Berm PeakInstagram: @sethsbikehacksTo learn more about Athletic Brewing’s Two For The Trails grant, which is open until May 31st, go here: https://athleticbrewing.com/pages/two-for-the-trailsFind affordable online classes like Yoga, Tai Chi, Essential Oils, Music, and many more.

When Julia wanted to express the difficulties that others go through to just “get out there”, she decided to make the most basic steps of experiencing the outdoors, getting there, an obstacle to overcome. After thinking on her idea for a year and a half, she decided to start walking from the iconic downton Denver Union Station to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, almost 70 miles away. Blisters, cars, and even animals were just some of the challenges she faced in the four-day journey. Today Julia is here to tell us about the amazing experience. You can read a day-by-day report of the journey here. You can learn more about the Cairn Project here. Is the price of gear holding you back from going on your next adventure or have extra gear you don’t need?
