Henning, Sam, and I (Frijole Ridge Traverse pt 1)
About this episode
The episode discusses the experiences and planning behind the Frijole Ridge hike in the Guadalupe Mountains, highlighting the bond between the hiking companions.
Message From the Host: I think this is my favorite picture from the trip. At this point… we were wrecked. Physically drained. Mentally spent. Thorns in our legs… even pushing through our shoes into our feet. We were running on fumes… knowing we still had a 5-mile road walk to the empty ranger station. But we also knew… we still had each other. This is why we love the Guadalupe Mountains. And this is why there’s nothing like the bond you build with your hiking brothers. Sam, Henning, we’ve been through some things out there… long miles, bad decisions, a little suffering… and somehow even conversations about why are we doing this. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. Appreciate you both more than you know. Already looking forward to the next one. Episode Description: This one started like a lot of Guadalupe Mountains ideas do… “Hey, there’s this ridge we haven’t done yet.” Frijole Ridge, another 8,000-foot peak, and a line on the map that looked just sketchy enough to be worth it. In Part 1, we sit down and rewind to the beginning, before the thorns, before the exhaustion, before things got real. I’m joined by Sam and Henning, and we break down what actually led us to say yes to this…
