158.) The Great Range Athlete Story: How Climbing Mountains Transformed My Life The 46 of 46 Podcast

    • Wilderness

In this week's episode I share my transformative journey from facing personal health challenges to becoming an Adirondack 46'er and creating the Great Range Athlete training programs.

I'll dive into the pivotal moments that tested my resolve, like tough climbs up McKenzie Mountain and Big Slide, and how these experiences ignited a passion to help others prepare for the mountains.

Hear how the decision to change my lifestyle led to unexpected adventures, including starting this podcast, writing books, and guiding other hikers up the same mountains that once broke me.

Great Range Athlete isn't just about getting fit; it's about building a community of Adirondack enthusiasts who climb mountains for both the joy and the challenge.

Life is wild and you'll never know how one decision you make can change the trajectory of your life in an amazing way.
