Podcast write-ups

In case anybody forgot what happened the last episode, here’s a brief recap: I fell off a mountain. More specifically, I fell off Pyramid Peak, a notoriously steep and loose mountain in a notoriously steep and loose subrange of the Southern Rockies, although alas for what remains of my dignity, the part that I fell…

Note: As it is rapidly coming up on four years after the events laid out in this report took place, I timed my podcast to have this episode roughly coincide with the anniversary, and in doing so, I felt it necessary to revisit what was arguably the culminating, pivotal, capital-I Incident in my Colorado fourteener…

Note: most of the TRs I have been updating for my podcast since the ones about my quickly-aborted attempts to develop some Class 5 climbing skills have simply been updated on the original reports rather than copy-pasted into new ones and will largely continue to be edited rather than published anew…but this one is entirely…

Once again, I successfully navigated a route with a partner who provided far more practical beta than I did. If you’re looking for a detailed description of how to navigate the S Ridge-West Slopes loop, partially in the dark, check out daway8’s report. If you’re looking for rumination on suffering and sass so excessive (seriously, the…

2025 UPDATE: This trip report has been edited and had an afterword of sorts added on in order to freshen it up for my podcast. If anybody is curious to see the original for whatever reason, I have that version saved – PM me. Notes: Once again, my buddy SpringsDuke already detailed our adventure(s) with…

Note: in addition to the, uh, additional information I tacked onto the end of this write-up in 2025 to freshen it up for recording as an episode of my podcast, I also made a few edits to the body of the original text, mostly to add information I thought would be helpful for anyone who…
-
Note: as this is yet another written version of a podcast episode featuring previous write-ups – though once again with never-before-released bonus material! – I once again included links to the prior, unedited, earlier TRs. Let me just pick up right where I left off at the end of reminiscing about Little Bear, when I…

Note: as this written version of a podcast episode once again contains several previously written reports – though with some (make that a lot of) never-before-written bonus material added on about Little Bear at the end! – I once again linked to the already-existent reports for the benefit of anybody looking to make some sort…
-
Note: I’m once again back to…uhh…refreshing old TRs for my podcast, which is just now starting its second season. Some edits have been made to correct typos and make other clarifications, but since this is a compilation of write-ups (with some original material linking and framing), I’ll put in links to the original, unedited reports…

In some ways (this will be funny to me and perhaps the guest star in a few paragraphs), I rather wish I’d started my remembrances-of-mishaps-past project immediately after finishing the fourteeners back in September 2023. If I had done so, there would have been a chance, if only a small one, that I might have…
