Ridge of Madness I Part One
In 1978, an iconoclastic climber named Johnny Waterman spent 145 days soloing (and traversing) Mount Hunter. It was one of the boldest and strangest mountaineering feats of all time. But what could have been a launch pad into acclaim and prominence, turned into a descent of infamy and madness. Meanwhile, a group of 3 young gun alpinists prepared to attempt the same route in alpine style.Thanks to Jon Waterman and Glenn Randall for their help in creating this story.

The Lost Tape: Roman Dial
While working on an upcoming 2-part series, I stumbled onto this interview with Alaskan author and adventurer, Roman Dial. We recorded this back in November 2017 and for some reason, I never got around to publishing it. Roman is a natural storyteller, so I’ve decided to leave this pretty raw with minimal editing. If you enjoy stories of adventure and unique characters from Alaska, this episode is for you.Read Roman's book, The Adventurer's Son: A Memoir**************Recorded and produced by Evan PhillipsMusic curated using Artlist.

90 Pound Rucksack with Christian Beckwith
A few months ago I had a conversation with climber, historian, writer and podcast producer, Christian Beckwith. He’s been working on this really incredible project called 90 Pound Rucksack, which details the remarkable history of the 10th Mountain Division and it’s influence on outdoor recreation in AmericaI have to admit, this chat was fun for me because I really do enjoy history and Christian - he’s basically an encyclopedia of information when it comes to the history of climbing in North America and the 10th Mountain Division.So, if you’re interested in climbing, history, and the unique evolution of our sport, grab a beverage and settle in, cuz I think you’ll dig this conversation.**************Recorded and produced by Evan PhillipsMusic curated using Artlist.

5 Traits of an Alpinist
A few weeks ago I interviewed North American alpinist, Clint Helander, for a deep-dive feature I'm working on for The Firn Line. At the end of the conversation, I wanted to have a little fun. So we did a quick-fire back and forth on what we think the top 5 traits of an alpinist are. It's a short conversation, but it's packed with knowledge and a good a bit of humor.***************Recorded and produced by Evan PhillipsMusic curated using Artlist.
