Podcasts about Hilaree Nelson

Nick Russell has been exploring the world by snowboard for more than a decade now. What started as a career competing, has transitioned to being strictly human powered exploration to some of the worlds highest peaks. Nick's drive comes from being truly passionate about riding his snowboard, and loves travel and exploration just as much as a day in Truckee riding with friends. Sam and Adrian sit down with Nick to talk about his path to riding professionally:- The three talk about Nick's career trajectory, from growing up in a skiing family, through competing on his snowboard, and eventually following the footsteps of those before him into the world of human powered exploration. - Mentors have played a big role in many professional's lives, and the mentorship of Jeremy Jones, Jim Zellers, Hilaree Nelson, Jim Morrison and others has shaped Nick's path. - Nick's recent expedition to Papsura, completing the first snowboard descent of the iconic peak, was a tribute line to the Hilaree Nelson, and a proud accomplishment.You can learn more about Nick and his career on his Instagram, @nick_russelll and check out his new film 'Papsura: Peak of Evil' on Youtube here.Follow our podcast on Instagram @duffelshufflepodcast where you can learn more about us and our guests.

Some things should be laid to rest, like the idea that splitboarders are universally slow on the ups and slow to transition. Sure, the gear might be, generally, heavier, but the athletes, in our experience, are fit, fast, and able to ride terrain in eye-opening ways. Nick Russell fits this mold. A snowboarder living in California's Sierras, Russell and his easy-going vibe balance his moxy in big-mountain terrain. In this episode of The High Route Podcast, Russell provides some basics for non-snowboarders, such as the merits of soft boots over hard boots. He also details his immersive snowboard-alpinism (shralpinism??) experiences this season on India's Papsura and Mount St. Elias.  Along with Jerry Mark, Blake Gordon, and Russell, this was the second group (first snowboarders) to ride/ski Papsura. The 6,461m mountain was first skied in 2017 by Hilaree Nelson, Jim Morrison, and Chris Figenshau.After listening to Russell, we are not afraid to make this claim: Maybe it's time to learn snowboarding. It's just another way to find happiness in the backcountry. We're psyched to have Russell as our guest.  If you are new to The High Route, we are a reader and listener-supported enterprise focusing on human-powered turn making. Our mission is simple, but it takes real deal calorie burning to piece it all together.We are also excited to announce Issue 1.0 of The High Route magazine is in the works. Fancy paper. Good reads. High-octane photos. And some fine mountain ranges. And turns. You can learn more about our subscription options here.The theme music for The High Route Podcast comes from Storms in the Hill Country and the album The Self Transforming (Thank you, Jens Langsjoen). You can find a link to the album here—there are so many good songs on this album. And if you think you've spotted a UFO in the past or visited the 7th dimension, "Beautiful Alien" is a good tune to start with.Thanks for listening,The High Route Team   

Today, we're joined by Kaki Orr, the Creative Director for Branded Content at The North Face. After a career as a professional skier where she was sponsored by The North Face, Kaki joined the company and has since led the charge to create mesmerizing films of their athletes skiing, climbing, and running across many of the world's most remote and breath-taking mountains. We've talked a lot on this show about content to commerce but in many ways this conversation covers the reverse; commerce to content. We talk to Kaki about creating authenticity while achieving The North Face's goals, how these epic films come together, and how she thinks about risk throughout the process.

This is a throwback episode to a conversation that I had with Darius Sam from June of 2020. June of 2020, Darius had completed his first 100-miler and within 48 hours we had him on the mic recording the real story. And now, 2.5 years later, the New Yorker has recently released a documentary of what went into that project. By the way, since then he's accomplished a 240 mile race in Moab that took 99 hours. Enjoy this re-release! Darius Sam — a 19 year old Indigineous man — joined Steph 48 hours after running 100 miles to raise money for his local food bank. At the end of 2019 Darius was still using drugs and alcohol heavily, but he began 2020 with determination and a new vision of what is possible. He moved home, created a rigid sleep and work-out routine, and found a renewed sense of determination and purpose. 6 months later, and Darius is still pushing himself to find the edge of what he can accomplish. So far, Darius has completed a self-made Ironman distance triathlon — completing only one week of training prior. After becoming inspired by a youtube video, Darius decided his next challenge was to run 100-miles for a cause. After visiting his local food bank, and recognizing the need in his community — he began raising funds. He surpassed his goal of $1000 dollars, raising over $80,000 by the time he completed the run. His 100 mile run is a story of persistence and grit — and as his grandfather wisely said — “This is where you find out who you are.” Tune in to hear what feat Darius is taking on next — because there is no limit to what he can accomplish.

Nos acercamos al Manaslu en los últimos podcast de Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia y hoy hemos tenido la oportunidad de traer a un escalador que estuvo allí, protagonista de primera mano de lo que aconteció en este 8.000. Gallego afincado en el Principado de Andorra, Gonzalo Fernández tenía como objetivo subir a este pico para descenderlo esquiando en una cordada muy diferente a las expedición que se encontró en esta montaña. Allí tuvo la oportunidad de hablar con Simone Moro y también con Hilaree Nelson, de intercambiar opiniones. Compartió cordada con Lluis Cortadellas con el que el año pasado hizo cima en el G-II. A lo largo de la charla Gonzalo Fernández nos cuenta cómo fue este intento al Manaslu y nos deja su impresión de lo vivido y de lo encontrado. Atiende la llamada de Planeta Montaña desde el lodge donde se encuentra descansando en un día de senderismo por la gran cordillera. De las grandes montañas nos iremos al Pirineo aragonés. En concreto a Villanúa, en la comarca de la Jacetania, donde reside nuestro siguiente invitado. Yhabril Moro es uno de esos fotógrafos que con su cámara hace arte. Vasco de nacimiento encontró en la montaña y en la fotografía una forma de entender la vida. Tipo de verbo fácil, buen conversador, vehemente en su trabajo, transmite mucha seguridad. Nos sorprender con más de una respuesta y la sencillez de una persona con numerosos premios en su haber y donde tiene claro que buena parte de su arte descansa en la colaboración de sus amigos.

Hurricane Ian has left a path of destruction in southwest Florida, trapping people in flooded homes and knocking out power to 2.5 million people. It's now aiming for the Atlantic Coast as a tropical storm. Russia has confirmed it will formally annex four parts of Ukraine where occupied areas held a Kremlin-orchestrated “referendum” on living under Moscow's rule that the Ukrainian government and the West denounced as illegal and rigged. Three Russian cosmonauts returned safely from a mission to the International Space Station.

Coolio, the rapper who was among hip-hop's biggest names of the 1990s with hits including “Gangsta's Paradise” and “Fantastic Voyage,” has died. Manager Jarez Posey tells The Associated Press that Coolio, whose legal name was Artis Leon Ivey Jr., died at the Los Angeles home of a friend on Wednesday. Coolio was 59. Earlier update Hurricane Ian has made landfall in southwestern Florida as a massive Category 4 storm. About 2.5 million people had been ordered to evacuate the area before the storm hit the coast on Wednesday with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. The storm was heading inland, where it was expected to weaken, but residents in central Florida could still experience hurricane-force winds. Before making its way through the Gulf of Mexico to hit Florida, Hurricane Ian tore into western Cuba as a major hurricane Tuesday, killing two people and bringing down the country's electrical grid. Arnold Schwarzenegger has visited the site of the Auschwitz Nazi death camp to send a message against hatred.

Katie Couric says she was diagnosed with breast cancer on the first day of summer, and since has undergone surgery and radiation treatment. The 65-year-old media personality memorably underwent screening for colon cancer on the "Today" show in 2000, two years after her first husband died of the disease at age 41. Clergy in 33 states are exempt from laws requiring professionals such as teachers, physicians and psychotherapists to report information about alleged child abuse to police or child welfare officials. An Associated Press review found that over the past two decades, more than 130 bills have been proposed in state legislatures to create or amend child sex abuse reporting laws. After intense opposition from religious groups, the clergy privilege remained unchanged. For more than half a century, ABC, CBS and NBC have aired evening newscasts each weeknight on television. This fall, the competition has spread to another medium. With the launch of “CBS News Prime Time” with John Dickerson a few weeks ago, all three networks are now also streaming competing evening newscasts.

Listen to Hilaree Nelson, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year (2018) and Captain of the North Face Athlete Team, in conversation with Prof. Hitendra Wadhwa, exclusively on Intersections. Hilaree is the first woman to summit two 8,000 meter peaks, Everest and Lhotse (fourth-highest) in one 24-hour push. In this episode, we explore Hilaree's journey as a lifelong learner, with passion as her compass, and in the process, learn some profound lessons on how to "dare greatly" into one's own future.

Get to know ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson, who read us the story of her friend Kit DesLauriers, the first person to ski from the summit of the highest mountain on all seven continents! Hilaree tells us about her adventures in the Himalayas, and why she loves pursuing such challenging sports. She also tells us her tricks for overcoming doubt and pushing through the hard times attempting to summit massive mountain peaks. Thanks Hilaree!

Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved adventure, exploring nature, and dreamt of skiing down the tallest mountains in the world. Her name was Kit DesLauriers, a determined young woman with a fierce curiosity to explore the tallest mountaintops — and then ski freely down the slopes. Kit was the first person to ski all Seven Summits, the first woman to ski Mount Everest, and is a two-time women's world freeskiing champion.  About the Narrator Combining a passion for exploration, mountain adventures and skiing, Hilaree Nelson travelled to some of the most exotic mountain ranges on earth. Her expedition career led her to many firsts in the world of ski mountaineering including linking two 8000m peaks (Everest and Lhotse) in one push, first ski descents on Baffin Island, a first American ascent and ski descent of Papsura peak in India, and a first ski descent of the 4th highest peak in the world, Lhotse. She was the Captain of the North Face Athlete Team, an active leader on climate with Protect Our Winters, and an avid proponent of wild places such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Hilaree was also the mother of two wild boys and found her sanity in the San Juan Mountains near her home in Telluride, Colorado.     Credits This podcast is a production of Rebel Girls and is based on the book series Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.

178: Hilaree Nelson: Professional Ski Mountaineer for North Face, National Geographic Live Speaker, and TNF Athlete Team Captain who has had over 40 expeditions and has been voted National Geographic person of the decade discusses how she evolved from someone who enjoyed mountaineering to making it the focal point of her professional life.    Hilaree Nelson   Hilaree Nelson talks about her hometown of Seattle and how it informed her appreciation of being outdoors. “Ironically, it took me leaving Seattle to find my way as a mountaineer and really discover what that was, and a sky mountaineer at that. I skied from a super young age at Stevens Pass in Washington. I skied at Crystal and I skied a few times at Baker. There are amazing mountain ranges surrounding Seattle, and a lot of people I know who discovered mountains have moved to Seattle for that reason.” On this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, we talk with Hilaree Nelson, Professional Ski Mountaineer for North Face, National Geographic Live Speaker, and TNF Athlete Team Captain about how she fell in love with climbing mountains. “I ended up leaving to go to Colorado to go to university. I think it was there that I first started going uphill with my skis instead of just downhill and really fell in love with it. But, I would say my real connection to wanting to do this for the rest of my life was after living in Cheminée in France, and experiencing the Alps and the history that they have.    What You Will Learn: How has Hilaree Nelson transformed mountaineering from a passionate hobby into a successful career? “When I first started down this path I didn’t think it would actually be a career. I was working three different jobs. I was also a Hally Ski Guide. I was doing everything I could to make ends meet and really just following a passion, a love, something that I found myself to be really good at.” Where has Hilaree’s motivation for mountain climbing come from? “I wanted to see how far that could take me I guess, where I go, and sort of learning my physical and mental boundaries within the sport of ski mountaineering. As I progressed I had a lot of doors open for me, partly because I was a female in a fairly male-dminated world, the world of mountaineering in general.” How long did it take Hilaree Nelson to start going pro? “It probably wasn’t until I was 5, 6, 7, years into this path, I had a sponsorship from North Face that I started focusing solely on being a pro athlete in that regard and letting go of some of the other jobs and starting to make some money enough to support what I wanted to do, what I love to do.”  What have been the elements of mountaineering that have excited Hilaree Nelson? “I found myself really drawn to really remote places. I have a really mathematical brain. So, places that really required a lot of logistical planning, places that despite the logistical planning things often were a mystery. Things would totally go awry and it was all about thinking on your feet. It was all about adjusting, adversity, all things that really go back to that initial experiential passion of knowing my boundaries, blasting through them. How can I do better? How can I be more? How can I do more? Ironically, a lot of those things weren’t even on the mountain. They were traveling to get to the mountain or traveling to get back.” How has she developed her strong, unflappable mindset? “I grew up in a very family-orientated way, a very protected sheltered home. I was the youngest. I had the big brother that looked out for me all of the time. I had the same group of friends that I played basketball with. That was a huge part of my life as a kid was playing basketball. I played basketball with the same group of girls from the age of 8 to 18. So, for me to step away from that and go out on my own to a state that I had never been to and didn’t know anyone there, and I immediately found friends that got me into rock climbing and ski touring. I think that the question mark that I always had about myself growing up was, I can do all of these things with all of this help and all of this familiarity. But, I want to see who I am when I am by myself and I am forging my own path.”     Enjoy the Great Outdoors    “No matter where you live, if you can just take 10 minutes in a day and find a park or find a way to walk around the block and be outside. It has always been my go-to place to scream at the top of my lungs or to let out whatever type of frustrations I have in life. Again, I am really fortunate to live here. But, gosh, I hope everyone can just find that space wherever you live to just manage the things that we are going through and just life in general.”   Common Mistakes    During this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, Hilaree Nelson mentions the most typical mistake that she notices amateur climbers making. “Part of these lines of people when you are trying to summit Everest with these groups is that you are in a line. The most common mistake that inexperienced climbers make is they take that jumar and they ram it right into the knots at the top of a line. If you do that, you can’t get the jumar off of the line. So, then everyone is just standing there waiting. Us being pro climbers, we would just take our jumar off and just climb without a rope.”   Links to Additional Resources: Mark Pattison: markpattisonnfl.com Emilia’s Everest - The Lhotse Challenge: https://www.markpattisonnfl.com/philanthropy/ Hilaree Nelson’s website: HilareeNelson.com

Something a bit different on the podcast today. In the spirit of high mountains and the autumn season which is often the time many seek any iteration of mountain film. During normal times, we flock to touring mountain film festivals to celebrate. You know, solid storytelling and vibrant images to help us dream a bit bigger. Some of you may have already watched LHOTSE, a film featuring ski mountaineers Hialree Nelson and Jim Morrison as they complete the first descent down the steep and scratchy Lhotse Couloir in the Nepal Himalaya. It's a film that featured at the upcoming Banff Virtual Mountain Film Festival. Let's just say the film has it all: A compelling tale to tell, lovely mountain backdrops, the thinnest of air, and two athletes in Nelson and Morrison living in the moment.With all this in mind, I followed my curiosity. I wanted to know more about who captured the footage and crafted the film. That led me to filmmakers Dutch Simpson and Nick Kalisz. Both are spirited creatives who also happen to be mountain savvy. We spoke to Simpson and Kalisz to learn about their experiences on the project and how they captured a now storied ski descent. We should note, the scale of the climbing and ski expedition, which went down in September 2018, was by all measures minimalist. The typical climbing season on Everest, which is close to the summit of Lhotse, is in April and May. By September, these mountains are ghost towns by comparison. If you are looking for more information on the ski descent, National Geographic provides. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoyed this small diversion from talk associated with the skinny skis. 

Episode 16 Hilaree Nelson Hilaree Nelson is a total badass in the mountains. Our conversation with Hilaree, takes a close look at the process, the hard fought journeys, the desperate moments of adventure and self analysis that ultimately lead to confronting your self head on. She has challenged herself mentally and physically as much as a person can. Her work on identity as a female athlete, often on male dominated teams and as a mother are fascinating and valuable for anyone who has faced the “hamster wheel” of mental questioning. She has an incredible story of life experiences that have helped her achieve mastery of her mindset, catching negative thoughts, gain focus, perspective and find success. “And hopefully I’m more fun to be around.” She and Cory’s history together on expeditions makes for lively conversation with meaningful take-aways. They dive deep into their experience together on a 2014 expedition to climb the highest peak in southeast asia, Hkakabo Razi. It pushed them to their limits. “Everything went wrong. Our team imploded. The adversity kept coming and we fell apart at the seams. It became about surviving. It took me a long time to recover.” The lessons and parallels drawn from this trip are parallel to 2020, the year we all understand as a challenge, and worth the listen. Hear the answer to Cory’s question - “Why did we blow up the way we did?” Hilaree’s description of “Mom Guilt” and the constant dialogue, the hamster wheel of identity as a mother. Cory and Hilaree discuss EMDR treatment and their experiences dealing with trauma. The story of Hkakabo Razi and Hilaree and Cory’s experience - as told by Hilaree Lhotse - the North Face Movie that chronicles HIlaree and Jim Morrison’s adventure to ski this holy grail in mountaineering...the Lhotse couloir Hilaree Nelson: The current North Face team captain combines a passion for exploration, mountain adventures and skiing. She has traveled to some of the most exotic mountain ranges on earth. Her expedition career has led her to many ‘firsts” in the world of ski mountaineering including linking two 8000m peaks in one push, first ski descents in Baffin Island, a first American ascent and ski descent of Papsura peak in India and a first ski descent of the 4th highest peak in the world, Lhotse. She is an avid proponent of wild places such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and holds to the philosophy that these places have huge significance in the well-being of both the planet and the human psyche. Recently named by Men’s Journal as one of the most adventurous women of the last 25 years, as well as National Geographic’s 2018 Adventurer of the Year, Hilaree rounds out her athletic endeavors by sharing her many stories on stages across the country in hopes of inspiring imagination and passion in the people she encounters. Hilaree is also the mother of two wild boys and finds her sanity in the San Juan mountains near her home in Telluride, CO.

This week’s conversation is with Hilaree Nelson.With a career spanning two decades that includes dozens of first descents through more than 40 expeditions to 16 different countries, Hilaree is the most prolific ski mountaineer of her generation. Some of these ‘firsts” in the world of ski mountaineering include linking two 8000m peaks (Everest and Lhotse) in one push, first ski descents on Baffin Island, a first American ascent and ski descent of Papsura peak in India , and a first ski descent of the 4th highest peak in the world, Lhotse.

I break it up into things I can manage instead of overwhelming myself by trying to figure out the whole picture all at once.------Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.

On this episode, I get to chat with Hilaree Nelson, the world’s greatest ski mountaineer. She and her partner were two of the very first people to climb and ski the fourth highest peak in the entire world. She has pursued a life of mountain exploration. Tune in to hear us discuss her career and how she prepares for big challenges. Topics: [02:21] Hilaree was on the race team, but she never skied a single gate.  [02:54] Her background isn’t in racing and she’s jealous of people who have it. [03:39] She saw a huge deficit in her own skiing and did her best to ski with those who were better than her in order to learn more. [08:06] Ski technology has changed and has changed the way we ski. [10:26] Her experience climbing the fourth highest peak in the world was unmatched and emotional. [14:40] It’s important to just try things instead of talking yourself out of great experiences. [18:05] With age, comes experience and wisdom. [22:20] To prepare for her biggest challenge, she made sure to prep on difficult terrain. [28:45] Hilaree has been working with North Face on product development. [29:00] She is also becoming a climate change activist, because she wants to protect all the beautiful places she has been. [30:20] She got a great tip to drive her tip, but lift her tails when making turns in tight terrain. Quotes: “Chamonix isn’t just about the skiing, it’s so much about how you access the skiing…” “I just think there is so much value in saying ‘yes’ to things...and the actual act of trying.” “As a young person, you’re making all these sort of instantaneous decisions...it’s just freedom.” Resources: Hilaree's Website Wagner Skis

When we kicked off Season 3 of #WeGotGoals, we set out to walk the walk by setting small goals within each quarter of this goal-focused podcast to curate guests who are doing big things in the areas which we care most about. For instance, over the last few months we brought community building to the forefront of our goal focus. We interviewed grassroots community developers like the founder of Sofar Sounds and community director of Girls Night In. We brought guests like Shanna Missett Nelson, President of Jazzercise, and Bonnie Michele and Tracy Roemer who started Shred415 together, onto the podcast to talk about scaling a small community into a global phenomenon. We caught up with professional adventurer Hilaree Nelson about the role community plays in going after big solo goals, and Coss Marte, founder of ConBody, on the meaning of community after solitary confinement. And as we head into the next quarter, we're just as excited for our next round-up of guests and the theme we're setting major goals to focus on: creating a better earth. All four of the #WeGotGoals podcast hosts are well aware of how big of an issue we're taking on. With statements as clearly defined as the United Nations's declaration that “Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a defining moment," we couldn't not dedicate at least a quarter of our year to highlighting what highly successful entrepreneurs are doing to better our earth. And at the same time that we focus on the macro, we're taking the next few months to focus on what we can do on a micro scale to have a more positive impact on the environment around us. In this host-ful podcast episode to kick it all off, listen to the hosts are setting goals to do to build in eco-friendly habits into their daily lives. Like Kristen, who wants to reduce her plastic waste at the grocery store in a few key ways, or Maggie who wants to bring her reusable wood cutlery with her to avoid taking plastic silverware during all her lunches out.  Jeana would like to eliminate as much meat and dairy from her diet as possible (one of the biggest ways to reduce your impact on the earth), and Cindy plans to use her newly purchase Divvy membership to bike anywhere within five miles of her home for the foreseeable future. We're eager to hear: what small ways do you implement eco-friendly practices to your daily life? How do you integrate them in a way that feels natural? What else would you like to try to do that you haven't set as a goal yet? We're so excited to kick off this new quarter of #WeGotGoals with you! You can catch up on the last season of community builders wherever you get your podcasts, like aSweatLife.com, iTunes, and Spotify. And if you wouldn't mind leaving us a little love in a rating or a review, we'd really appreciate it.

Go back in time with me for a minute, back to when I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (and wrote about it, here). After the trip, I found it incredibly hard to distill the experience into a two-sentence answer I could call upon when people asked me how the trip went. It was awesome, it was emotional, it was awful at times and joyful at others, and the aspect of doing this insane achievement with my close family put a whole different layer on things. Fast forward to my podcast interview with Hilaree Nelson, an explorer and ski mountaineer, and I finally felt like I'd found someone who could truly relate to my unique experience. That's because Hilaree also climbed Kilimanjaro with her family, who ranged in age from four years old to 74 years old. The highs were high and the lows were low, and by the time we wrapped up that portion of the interview, I had almost forgotten that I wasn't talking to a close friend—I was talking to someone who's climbed two 8,000 meter peaks (Everest and Lhotse) in 24 hours; who's skied DOWN from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu in Tibet; and who's summited a terrifyingly named mountain called the Peak of Evil. Safe to say that our similarities begin and end at Mount Kilimanjaro. But Nelson and I still connected over a lot over the rest of our conversation. In keeping with our theme of community, I heard first-hand stories of times when a community that you trust and communicate well with meant the difference between life and death—death, in this case, coming in the form of an endless, can't-see-the-bottom crevasse that one fellow climber narrowly avoided (you'll hear me audibly gasp at least two times during this part of the interview). What I found really interesting was the way Nelson spoke about the "yin and yang" of working with your climbing partner. When one partner is down, she's found, the other partner is able to bring the positive energy and keep the party moving along, and that positivity is something she strives to embody in her expeditions and her new role as team captain of The North Face Global Athlete Team. She also spoke at length about the communities that allow her to be a professional adventurer: both the fellow athletes that inspire her to reach new heights (literally), and her close-knit community that helps care for her children and provide that hands-on support so she can travel the world. If you're in Chicago and you found yourself on the edge of your seat during this interview like I did, you can see Nelson speak live on May 7 at Roosevelt University as part of her role with National Geographic. Her talk, the "Point Of No Return," details a harrowing expedition to a remote peak in Myanmar, during which the biggest challenge she faced was more than the restricted rations, the challenging conditions, and risk of hypothermia—it was managing the clashing personalities that could put everyone in grave danger. You can bet I'll be there, and I already know my heart rate will be elevated just listening to her speak. Like this interview? Show us by rating or reviewing us!

In late September, Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison completed the first ski descent of Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world. Their route was the stunning Lhotse Couloir, a plumb line from the summit down ontto the vast Lhotse Face, right next to Everest. In this episode, Hilaree talks in depth about their preparation and how they made this impressive descent. The Cutting Edge is presented by Hilleberg the Tentmaker.

How do you get to the point in your life where you even consider climbing up and then standing on skis looking down a 7,000-foot 50-degree couloir that drops off the 27,940-foot summit of the fourth highest mountain in the world, Lhoste? We chat about that first descent, the lifelong pursuit of passion and both physical and mental persistence that it took to get there, and much more including balancing motherhood and family life with high-risk outdoor pursuits, and designing a career as an adventure athlete, with The North Face athlete team captain, Hilaree Nelson. She is the first woman to climb two 8,000m peaks in 24 hours (Everest and Lhotse). She's also the first person to ski off the summit of Lhotse. Additionally, she’s skied from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu climbed and skied several high peaks in Bolivia and Argentina. Elsewhere, Hilaree has cut turns on remote volcanoes in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Lebanon, as well as many first descents in the tight couloirs of Baffin Island.

Outside Magazine named her one of the most adventurous women in the world of sports. She is the first woman to climb two 8,000m peaks in 24 hours (Everest and Lhotse). She’s also skied from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu in Tibet and climbed and skied several high peaks in Bolivia and Argentina. Elsewhere, Hilaree has cut turns on remote volcanoes in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Lebanon, as well as many first descents in the tight couloirs of Baffin Island. Born and raised in the Northwest, Hilaree began skiing at age 3 at Stevens Pass in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Eventually, she moved to the Chamonix Valley of France where she learned most of what she needed to know in order to take her skiing skills to the next level- ski mountaineering. We have a fascinating conversation telling her story and how she created a life of extreme adventure. We talk about why Hilaree thrives and seeks taking risks and chances in her life, why you’re not truly living until you get out of your comfort zone, why you should pursue things you can fail at because that is where you learn and grow, and so much more!   More Career Accomplishments: 1996: European Women’s Extreme Skiing Champion.   2002: First ski descent of all five of the “Holy Peaks” of the Mongolian Altai. 1st American ascent/1st ski descent of Papsura Peak, India Double summit of Denali, June 2017 Messner couloir ski descent, climb of Cassin Ridge First female ski of Makalu La Couloir on Makalu, Nepal Named by Outside magazine as “One of the Most Adventurous Women in the World of Sports.” Featured as the expedition leader in the Telluride Mountainfilm festival award-winning 2015 documentary Down to Nothing.

“It's truly a necessity to have a passion as a compass in life.”Hilaree NelsonIt’s so easy to get comfortable. To accept life as it is. To kick back — and just settle.Luxury and ease are what we are taught to seek. But it's actually at odds with the vitality and fulfillment most desire. My experience is that life gets interesting when you have the courage, strength and fortitude to step outside your comfort zone, face a little fear and test your limits.Because extending your boundaries strips away the non-essential, and shows you exactly who you really are.Fail or succeed, this is where all the magic happens. The growth. And a life fueled by purpose and passion.Today we explore these themes with North Face athlete Hilaree Nelson, one of the world's most accomplished adventure athletes.Named one of National Geographic’s 2018 Adventurers of the Year, Hilaree specializes in ski-mountaineering — a discipline that involves huge and often technical mountain ascents either on skis or carrying them, then descending said peaks on skis.Over the course of her storied career, Hilaree has conquered some of the most exotic and treacherous mountain ranges on Earth. Among her many accomplishments:* the first woman to climb both Everest and its 8,000-meter neighbor, Lhotse, in a 24-hour period* the first person to ski down all five of the Mongolian Altai’s “Holy Peaks”* skied from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu in Tibet* summited peaks and volcanoes in remote locations across Russia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Bolivia, Argentina, Lebanon & TibetI first came across Hilaree by way of Down To Nothing, a stunning documentary by Renan Ozturk that chronicles a 2014 National Geographic expedition to be the first to ascend the summit of Hkakabo Razi in Myanmar to determine if it is indeed Southeast Asia’s highest point. It’s a gorgeous and gripping glimpse of Hilaree’s skill and tenacity in the face of a uniquely extraordinary challenge.This is her story.It’s an incredible conversation about fear, risk resilience, adventure and potential. It’s about balancing the pull of adventure against her responsibilities as a single mom to two boys. It’s about the allure of the outdoors.But mostly, this is an exchange about the virtues of placing yourself outside that comfort zone – and what that can teach us about potential. The preciousness of life. And what it means to be truly alive.Hilaree is a badass. It's a pleasure to share her experience. And I sincerely hope it inspires you to seek more adventure in your life.For the visually inclined, you can watch the conversation on YouTube at: http://bit.ly/richandhilareeIf you are enjoying the video versions of the show, do me a favor and subscribe!Peace + Plants,Listen, Watch & SubscribeApple Podcasts | YouTube | Soundcloud | Stitcher | See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Looking to move to a small mountain resort off the beaten path that attracts a pinch of celebrity, yet still maintains its rugged charm? Telluride just might be for you. Backed up against a box canyon, the historic mining town of Telluride was established by gold miners seeking their fortune. The jagged peaks of the rugged San Juan Mountains still bear the scars of old mine sites and ghost towns haunt the area with echoes of the past. And while you may see celebrities here, they aren’t the main attraction.  Locals pride themselves on keeping it real, and the hometown artists are just as famous in town as any name brand film star. Why come here? Epic chutes. No lift lines.  No freeways - the nearest stoplight is 45 miles away. Dictated by nature, Telluride will never become a big city with large bedroom communities of workers commuting along a busy highway. It can’t.  It’s at the end of the road. And I mean that in a great way. World-class ski mountaineer, Hilaree O’Neill, has chased adventure on the world’s biggest mountains. Originally from Washington, she carved her first turns at 3.  Seeking bigger challenges after Colorado College, she moved to Chamonix, France and discovered the world of big mountain skiing and climbing. A passion for big descents led her to ski volcanoes in Russia and mountains in Mongolia, Pakistan, Lebanon, Cho Oyu in Tibet and Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. Outside Magazine named Hilaree one of the most adventurous women in the world of sports:  A well-earned title. By becoming the first woman, and only the fourth human ever to climb Everest and Lhotse in a continuous push, Hilaree entered the record books for high-altitude innovation and prowess. Hilaree continues to travel the globe as an adventurer for The North Face, always ready for new challenges. But her true compass always points home to Telluride where she lives with her husband and two boys. Hilaree tells me what it’s like to live and ski this mountain town.
