Advertise on podcast: Peaks Podcast, the exploration of climbing the highest peaks in each of our seven continents.

Wow...it's great when a plan comes together:) Years and years of planning and preparation are now coming to the final challenge. It's wet and cold, the armed guards are watching area with their manned look out stations and drone surveillance. On summit day I am awaken by the sound of rain hitting the tents surface several hours before departure. This is truly a climb like I have never dreamed of and no research could fully prepare me for. PLEASE enjoy this unique adventure.

One of the most dangerous and exciting mountains I've ever been on. What makes this once in a lifetime experience is Papua New Guinea is definitely one of the most remote places in the world. There are dozens if not hundreds of individual tribes that still practice head hunting in these jungles surrounding Carstens. Combine the Primitive natives with a hostile political environment because of mining in the remote areas of this country and you have a recipe for disaster. We have armed guards we have a mountain that's been closed for years we have a mountain with old ropes, what else could you ask for in a high mountain Adventure. All I can say is I'm glad with the number one concessionaire here in Indonesia that is Indonesian expeditions. Combine all this with one of the highest peaks in the world and you have a real live seven Summit Adventure. Carstensz Pyramid (locally known as Puncak Jaya) is the highest summit of Mount Carstensz in the Sudirman Range of the western central highlands of Papua Province, Indonesia. ​It is best known as one of the Seven Summits (the highest peak on each continent), representing the Oceania/Australasia continent.

This it's definitely one of my favorite podcasts because it was one of my more difficult climbs. It was only one full day but 5 years in the making.

After many years of patiently waiting it looks like I might finally get my opportunity to head to the remote nation of Papua New Guineain in search of The elusive Carstensz Peak.

This this podcast covers various topics ranging from rabies roulette to hurricane Ian update 390 days after striking, and the Colorado bucket list trifecta. Last but not least the 2023 Everest update I think you'll enjoy this episode let's get out and enjoy the outdoors.

This 66th episode goes goes into detail of the snafels traverse in the San Juan range of Colorado. At the same time as this traverse was being tackled hurricane Ian decimated the island of fort Myers Beach. I like to discuss the similarities between climbing big peaks and dealing with big national disasters. I hope you find this interesting and please pass on to your friends if you enjoy it.

This is one of my favorite podcast featuring Tommy Heinrich. We first climbed together in the Year 2005 and then reunited 2 months ago in July of 2022. I love this podcast because Tommy gives such great insight into the decisions that people need to make on big mountains. Tommy is a renowned photographer for national geographic has summited many of the Peaks highest peaks of the world and has been to the north pole.

Following the big reveal a live interview with Nichole O'Such my daughter. She will be discussing her experiences with her father various hike and climbing trips around the world.

This episode is a wrap-up of the Everest Expedition some thoughts on how the Expedition went and what might occur on a future Everest Expedition. It also includes a post Everest climb over on the big island of Hawaii with my Colorado climbing group and an interesting theory on yellowjacket long-range messaging.

I pray for my team to returned safely. This has been a crazy Everest climbing season and I predict it's even going to get crazier in the next two weeks.

It's amazing after 2 years of training a few moments can change everything. NO regrets when you have done your all as my father always said. Regardless there is pain. What a great experience and I pray that my team makes it safely.

This is a description of one of the most difficult climbing days I have ever had. With the difficulties came great rewards. It was awesome to be able to climb in the ice Falls for 4 hours SOLO while the crash of ceraces crack all around me. It's unbelievable to explore this kind of terrain under a three quarter Full Moon.
