    The Mountain Hates You: And That’s Why You Love It

    The Summitborn Dispatch Episode 2: The Mountain Hates You—And That’s Why You Love It In this episode of The Summitborn Dispatch, we venture into the thin-aired truth of alpine suffering. Host Brian Hamilton recounts a raw, elemental journey up Sahale Peak in North Cascades National Park—where sleet stings, lungs burn, and false summits mock your ambition. But this isn’t just a tale of pain. It’s a love letter to type 2 fun, to the strange church of backcountry hardship that so many of us now worship. Why do we chase the brutal honesty of the mountains? Why does it feel like the wild hates us—and why does that make us love it more? What You’ll Hear:– A wind-lashed ascent into the heart of Sahale Peak– Why type 2 fun has become a spiritual pursuit– False summits, shattered egos, and soul sandpaper– Geological and ecological context of Sahale and the Skagit watershed– Why we keep coming back to places that try to break us Mentioned in This Episode:– Sahale Peak, North Cascades National Park– Fred Beckey and the roots of North Cascades mountaineering– Climate change, glacier loss, and the Skagit River– The Upper Skagit Tribe and the significance of salmon– Our generational search for meaning through outdoor suffering Perfect For:Climbers, hikers, adventurers, and anyone who knows the strange peace of freezing your butt off on a granite ledge while questioning your life choices.

    Fault Lines: Kamchatka’s 8.8 — When the Earth Breaks Open

    A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake has struck the Kamchatka Peninsula—one of the most volatile geologic regions on Earth. In this debut episode of The Summitborn Dispatch, we take you beneath the surface of the rupture zone to explore what this quake reveals about the Pacific Ring of Fire, tectonic tension in the Russian Far East, and the eerie quiet that sometimes precedes disaster. With reflections drawn from Summitborn’s Fault Lines column, this episode combines geological context, global seismic implications, and a look at why Kamchatka—remote and rarely discussed—is one of the most dangerous places on the planet for future megaquakes. 🔍 In this episode: What caused the Kamchatka 8.8 and how it compares to historic quakesWhy subduction zones create the most violent earthquakes on EarthThe role of Kamchatka in the Pacific Ring of FireHow remote regions shape global risk awarenessReflections from Summitborn’s geologic editor
