INTRODUCING | Written in Stone: Climbing’s Most Important Ascents

Written in Stone tells the (mostly) true stories of the most groundbreaking ascents in rock climbing history. Hosted by Kris Hampton, you’ll hear the narrated, sound designed stories about what led to new levels in climbing, alternated with conversations with today’s top climbers about what inspired them about what went down way back then. Season One is focused on the 1990’s, and will tell the stories of how sport climbing came to dominate, how women climbers made their mark, and explore the characters who made it all happen. Moon, Skinner, Gullich, Hill, Nicole and more! Like Todd Skinner always said, ”never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” Learn more at www.plugtoneaudio.com/written-in-stone

Dropping In: A Story of Addiction, Skiing, and Healing with Paddy O’Connell

For some skiers, drugs and alcohol can be fun. That wasn't the case for Paddy O'Connell. He was using them to cope with something deeper and darker inside. Paddy is a writer, host, creator, and podcaster. He also happens to have the best mustache on this side of the Mississippi. On this episode from Plug Tone Outdoors, Paddy reads an essay he originally wrote for Ski Magazine entitled "For Some Skiers, Drugs and Alcohol Are Fun, But For Me it Was Darker." In this reading, Paddy touches on his own experiences with addiction in a ski town, as well as the overarching drinking and drug culture around skiing and snowboarding. At the end of the day, Paddy believes that it's not impossible to get sober in a ski town, after all, he did it himself. TW: This episode features discussions of sexual abuse, mental illness, and suicidal ideations. If that's not something you can listen to right now, go ahead and skip this one.

This Contested Land with McKenzie Long

In the United States, we have over 120 national monuments. We’ve all heard about them in the news, and seen them designated and then undesignated over the past few presidencies. But what even IS a national monument? And who manages land that is designated as a national monument? What does it mean for our outdoor pursuits? Writer McKenzie Long was asking herself similar questions when President Obama designated the Bears Ears area a national monument at the end of 2016. Her curiosity about her beloved climbing area, Indian Creek, which was technically inside of the Bears Ears National monument, and what this designation meant for her future climbing there, led her on a journey to visit many national monuments and speak to the people who were impacted by these sorts of designations. In this episode, Kris and McKenzie sit down to discuss her book, This Contested Land: The Storied Past and Uncertain Future of America’s National Monuments, and how we should think about national monuments as stewards of outdoor recreation. You can find more links and the full transcript on our website. And if you want to hear about McKenzie’s climbing journey, check out her episode on the Power Company Climbing Podcast. Music in this episode is from the album Kokura Station by Blue Dot Sessions.

Gabe Joyes and The Snowman Race

What do you say when His Majesty The King of Bhutan wants to put on an ultra marathon through the Himalaya to show the impact of climate change, and invites you to participate? A high-altitude stage race over 5 days, 126 miles, and 33,000 total feet of climbing? Well, if you’re Gabe Joyes, you say YES. In this episode, ultra runner, coach, and teacher, Gabe Joyes sits down with Kris Hampton to share his experience in running the Snowman Race in Bhutan in 2022. The race was put on partly in celebration of His Majesty The King’s birthday, but mostly, to show the world the impact of climate change on one of the most beautiful places in the world. While it was technically a race, Gabe walked away with a deeper purpose and responsibility to be a vocal climate steward, as well as a deep appreciation for the Bhutanese people and culture.
