    #184 - He Failed Denali, then Came Back to Finish It w/ Cameron Dorn

    On his third appearance on the PB in Mountains podcast, Cameron Dorn explains how reading Into Thin Air inspired him to start mountaineering, beginning with a guided climb of Mount Rainier after college despite having no prior crampon experience. He recounts his first Denali attempt in 2021 as a two-person, self-supported expedition that ended when his sled slid at 10,000 feet and his thoracic spine (T5–T9) went out of place, prompting a responsible self-evacuation amid bad weather and limited food. Cameron describes returning to Denali on a guided trip, how the right team and logistics (food, rules, manpower, fixed-line efficiency, and experienced leadership) increased safety and success, and details the exposed “Autobahn” traverse above 17,000 feet. He also describes a crevasse fall and self-extrication, and closes with lessons on humility, gratitude, and doing hard things sooner rather than later. -- Cameron's Links -- https://www.instagram.com/dorncameron/ ---My Socials---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  00:00 Pre Show Setup01:25 Cameron Dorn Intro01:44 Rainier Origin Story03:35 Early Adventures Mindset04:39 Denali First Attempt06:37 Turning Back Lessons09:24 Facing Camp 10 Again11:41 Why Go Guided13:44 Guides Food Weather Edge16:24 Team Trust Dynamics17:09 Tent Team Dynamics17:38 Autobahn Traverse Explained19:27 Gear and Step Kicking20:17 Mindset in the Tent21:53 Guides and Ego24:28 Heavy Loads and Attitude25:07 Preparation and Karma27:56 Crevasse Fall Story30:45 Gratitude After Returning33:02 Do Hard Things Now34:19 Closing and Where to Find
