I have been enjoying the podcast from the start, especially during a cold pre-work run or driving to a distant trailhead. Keep it up!

Re: A "First 14ers" story - Longs Peak!
I really enjoyed that. Not the least because Longs was my first 14er - as a flatlander from Michigan (and later Illinois). I had a lot of similar experiences, but some notable differences too. I wrote my TR a lot like you did the podcast - just tried to describe what it was like from my perspective. You might want to check it out. It’s not hard to find.

I’m enjoying the pod! You guys are naturals! Richard
The summit is a source of power. The long view gives one knowledge and time to prepare. The summit, by virtue of the dizzying exposure, leaves one vulnerable. A bit of confidence and a dash of humility is all we get for our work. Yet to share these moments with friends is to be human. C. Anker

I've listened to all the episodes and am really enjoying them. There's a great interview with Wild Wanderer among the podcasts and some good 13ers trip report episodes. Thanks, Zach and Eric!

I did a long AT hike yesterday and plowed through several of your recent episodes. They were fun! Thanks for posting.
