Casey Brown has one hell of a story. This bad ass mountain biker’s life has been filled with twists and turns that I will not spoil in this intro. I will say that Casey had an upbringing different than anyone’s that I have met in my life. Based on all that Casey shares, you would think that she would have a totally different, maybe even strange personality. I found none of that, what I did find was an amazing athlete who knows all about highs and lows. It’s another incredible story.

Once labeled a ski model, Caroline Gleich’s path to becoming a respected ski mountaineer has been quite the climb. From the billboards of Utah to the monsters of the Himalaya, there is no fear in this 5’1” ball of energy. The podcast gives a little of Caroline’s backstory and then a lot about Everest. It was a heavy year on the mountain and Caroline shares what she experienced. It’s a real look into a world that most of us only read about and it’s a great listen.
