About this episode

Andres Marin discusses his experiences with catastrophes affecting climbing communities, while maintaining a humorous outlook.

Andres Marin is a mountain guide, alpinist, and competitive ice climber who’s originally from Columbia, but is a longtime resident of Ouray, Colorado. His passion is expedition climbing, and he’s completed notable first ascents around the world including in Kyrgzstan and Peru. We talk about a wildfire that nearly destroyed his town, affecting the climbing and local communities alike, as well as other catastrophes and disasters around the world. Despite being such a depressing conversation, Andres, with his usual humor and positive disposition, brings hope and light to the frontlines of these issues. But first, your hosts convene on relationships in life and climbing. The final bit is a little ditty from Sweet Jessup and the Dirty Buckets.
