  • Favorite Climbing Podcast

    This podcast has taught me to be a more thoughtful climber and inspired me to get my WFR! (Shoutout DMM) Ashley is a wonderful host with great interviewing skills and asks great questions to help foster a dialogue about risk without judgement. I’ve taken many of the episode takeaways with me in my own mountain adventures.

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for quite a while now and have no plans to stop, Ashley is an excellent host who asks insightful questions and inspires listeners and guests to use their experiences to make change. Ashley is an inspiration—whether that is helping you to think twice when you are climbing in the back country or starting a program where listeners buy climbing helmets for people who don’t have the money.

  • Long time listener

    Been listening to your podcast for many years. I applaud you for being a totally one person show; that’s impressive! I also appreciate how you allow the guests to speak freely without extraneous interruptions. Are there audio quality issues? Perhaps, but who cares? Really, who cares? The content of your podcast is extremely beneficial for anyone who spends time in the backcountry, and I’m appreciative of all the effort it takes to produce your show Ashley! Your listeners appreciate you 😃

  • Good guests, poor host

    Fascinating content from the guests, but unfortunately the host doesn’t know how to interview and is constantly interjecting with their own view instead of asking questions and exploring what the guest has to share.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 116 - Early Off Piste Lesson - Gregg Kavet
Q: Why do you feel guilty about this experience?
I feel guilty because it was a dangerous situation that I planned without properly preparing and didn't want to acknowledge how serious it was at the time.
Ep 116 - Early Off Piste Lesson - Gregg Kavet
Q: What do you think about the approach to outdoor risk for young people?
When you say no to kids about outdoor activities, they may see you as an obstacle and be more determined to do what they want, increasing the risks.
Ep 116 - Early Off Piste Lesson - Gregg Kavet
Q: So what do you do for work?
I am a television and film screenwriter.
Ep 115 - LIVE RECORDING at eTOWN Boulder CO - Part II - Route to Resilience - Laura McGladrey
Q: What do you tell somebody who's new? What should they be doing?
They should be made aware of stress injuries as a universal precaution and understand how to manage their stress to maintain a long and sustainable career.
Ep 114 - LIVE RECORDING at eTOWN Boulder CO - Part I - Route to Resilience - Laura McGladrey
Q: So how does one know that they have a stress injury?
Stress injuries can be recognized through early and late changing "vital signs" similar to physical injuries, and people often experience incremental changes in their motivation or energy levels related to their activities.
