An adventure that doesn't see very many participants compared to some of the other big trails in the US. Today we talk to Alex Fogt who took it on last winter and says it's up there with anything else he's ever done!

Tom and Kyle are two charismatic and adventurous Canadian brothers who have undertaken wildly outlandish pursuits such as portaging canoes through the Himalayas to Mount Everest base camp, riding mountain bikes in the middle of winter for over 300km, and traveling much of the world together. Kyle is an ultra-endurance cyclist and professional rope access technician by trade while Tom is a competitive rower and became a General Manager and COO before the age of 25. Together Tom and Kyle operate a successful not-for-profit organization called The Weight We Carry in which they have used their ambitious adventures for good by raising over $150,000 to build a women’s mental health center in Kathmandu, Nepal. Today we’re hearing from the two brothers about their Everest Base Camp adventure.

Take our listener survey here to give feedback to the show! Robbie has done some legitimately legendary adventures. He ran across the US, has the FKT for the Central Park Loop, and even outlasted a Tesla by running farther than it could drive on a single charge. However, on today’s episode we talk about something, in my opinion, that was much crazier; The Colorado Crush. In an effort to experience all the glory and magnitude that Colorado has to offer, Robbie pieced together an adventure of outright ridiculous proportions. The goal was to run the Leadville marathon in early summer, complete the nearly 500-mile Colorado Trail, run the Leadville 50-mile in mid-summer, then climb all 58 Colorado 14ers and finish with the Leadville 100-mile ultrarun, completing the Colorado Trail, the 14ers and the Leadville Trail Series in one summer. Unbelievable. Now let’s hear the story…Learn more about Robbie and watch the documentary below:Colorado Crush film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch-n7LwMVZ4@robbiebalenger@theaudaciousreportwww.theaudaciousreport.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
