  • Feeds my passion for the mountains

    I really enjoy listening to the podcast - it’s one way I satisfy my craving for the mountains when I’m home in the flatlands of the Midwest. It’s like having a conversation with people who share my passion.

#62: The Personal Side of Summit Fever with Dr. Shaunna Burke!
Q: What role does meditation play in staying present and managing emotions on this journey?
Meditation helped her stay grounded in the present, manage anxiety about the future, and reframe emotions after diagnosis; a 10-day Vipassana retreat was pivotal in reshaping how she handles pain, fear, and solitude.
#62: The Personal Side of Summit Fever with Dr. Shaunna Burke!
Q: And what does the Everest Marathon entail?

#66 - Welcome to the Comedy Hour with Jennifer and Gerry Roach!
Q: What advice would you give to your younger or older selves about pursuing adventures?

#66 - Welcome to the Comedy Hour with Jennifer and Gerry Roach!
Q: What was it like to pursue exploration before it became restricted or illegal?
They reflect on a golden age of exploration where routes and arches like Shiprock and landscape arch were accessible, and how the period's permission and later restrictions shaped their memories and the stories they tell in books and interviews.
#66 - Welcome to the Comedy Hour with Jennifer and Gerry Roach!
Q: What does it mean when you say a summit is transcendent, and was that feeling present on landscape arch?
Jennifer and Gerry explain that transcendent moments come from being in a place that elevates your sense of connection to nature and to the act of climbing, even when fear is present; landscape arch represented a pinnacle of risk, beauty, and a sense of 'being close to God' during the ascent.
