Podcasts about rainy pass

PCT thru hiker and @sendfemme founder Arielle "Mouse" Shipe joins Doc in studio for some good old fashioned trail talk. Tune in to hear about the charm of being annoyingly cheerful in the morning, cork orthotics, tuna exhaustion, Desolation Wilderness (a misnomer), Rainy Pass (not a misnomer), the magic of things just clicking, and how it's possible to pack 17 thru hikers and their gear into a single pickup truck when having to escape a raging 60,000-acre wildfire on trail. An instant classic. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hikertrashradio/support

For mountaineers and adventurers, there's a rich history of exploration in and around Alaska's Denali National Park.  And although the park is mostly known for the hordes of people who attempt to climb Denali each season - few have ever thought about circumnavigating the Denali, Foraker (Sultana) and Hunter (Begguya)  massifs - let alone in winter.The first circumnavigation-like explorations, of non-indiginous people, came around the turn of the century, around the 1900's.  These trips were fueled mostly by the hunt for scientific knowledge or, of course, gold.  In 1899,  the first non-native overland traverse of the Alaska Range was made by 1st Lt. Joseph Herron's Army expedition. They took a route via the Yetna and Kichatna Rivers.In 1902, USGS geologist Alfred Brooks first explored the southern aspect of  the area on a mapping expedition, traveling through and eventually naming Rainy Pass.Then, in 1903, a 6-member expedition led by Dr. Frederick Cook attempted Denali's Northwest Buttress, reaching an elevation just under 11,000 feet. Starting in the small village of Tyonek, the team completed the expedition by circumnavigating, possibly unintentionally, the Denali-Foraker massifs.In the ensuing years, most of the exploration focus in and around Denali National Park was on mountaineering.  Then, in 1978, the first circumnavigation on skis of Denali was made from April 7-28 by Ned Gillette, Galen Rowell, Alan Bard and Doug Weins via Kahiltna Pass, Peter's Glacier, Muldrow Glacier, Traleika Glacier and Ruth Glacier.But it wasn't until 1995, that a complete circumnavigation of the Denali-Foraker massifs - in winter - would be made.On February 17 of that year, Daryl Miller and his partner, Mark Stasik, embarked on a journey that would last 45 days, and traverse 350 miles.  The route, which started in Talkeetna, followed the winding Chulitna River, to the massive Muldrow Glacier, to an area north of the Wickersham Wall known as little Siberia, across the Yetna, Lacuna and Kahiltna Glaciers, on and around toward the Peters Hills and finally back home to Talkeetna.  The duo would endure bone-chilling temperatures and relentless wind, waist deep sugar snow and terrifying glacier terrain, as well as unrelenting hunger.But when it was all said and done, the journey would become an Alaskan classic that is yet to be repeated.  Here's Daryl Miller's retelling of this amazing story.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Map Artwork by Mike ClellandSpecial Thanks to Daryl MillerWritten and produced by Evan PhillipsEdited and mixed by Pod PeakMusic by Evan PhillipsSupport The Firn LinePatreonPayPalMerchSponsorsAlaska Rock GymThe Hoarding Marmot

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek we are joined yet again by famed Trail Angel, triple crowner, and author, Barney Scout Mann.  This convo focuses largely on Scout's new book, "Journeys North", Scout's beautiful account of his and Frodo's 2007 PCT thru-hike.  We learn what went into this immense research project, how he and Frodo fended off a bear with a two-part harmony, and we're blessed with a short reading from the book. We have another one-minute gear review, introduce a new segment- point / counter point, a triple crown of summer foods, and once again start to lose our minds at the show's close.  This one is a full boat.

With plenty of snow on the Iditarod Trail this year, some of the more technical runs have not been as difficult as years past. But the Happy River steps and the Dalzell Gorge are always a challenge, and Alaska Public Media's Tegan Hanlon joins Iditapod host Casey Grove to discuss why we call both of those sections "technical." Also in today's episode, reports from KNOM's Davis Hovey and Alaska Public Media's Zachariah Hughes in Rainy Pass, as well as KNOM's Ben Matheson on the newly rejuvenated roadhouse in McGrath.

It's Monday, and Iditarod sled dog teams are heading into their second full day of racing after the official start yesterday in Willow. From there they mushed west to the Yentna checkpoint about 50 miles into the race, on to Skwentna at about 80 miles, and the front-of-the-pack teams are already heading up and up and up into the Alaska Range, toward the mountainous checkpoint of Rainy Pass. We hear about the rookies in the race, a clip from Quince Mountain on what it's like to be the first openly trans Iditarod competitor, and Aliy Zirkle tells us about one of her leaders, Sparky.

Iditapod contributor Quince Mountain checks in from Winter Lake Lodge, a.k.a., thewhere a sled dog that lives at the lodge broke his chain and went for a run following Iditarod teams all the way up to Rainy Pass. Dillon's used to runs of up to 10 miles, but this was a 30-mile haul! Quince talks to lodge owner Carl Dixon and its manager, Lisa Rattan, about what they say is the real story.

In Episode 7, we talk to mushers making preparations at the Rainy Pass checkpoint, as well as some first-time Iditarod racers and... some volunteers staying entertained by throwing axes? Speaking of throwing axes (loosely), we also answer a question about what happens if you get hurt out on the trail.

This bonus Iditapod features three full interviews from the Iditarod's Rainy Pass checkpoint: Jessie Royer, Matt Hall and Linwood Fiedler. They were recorded by Alaska Public Media's Zachariah Hughes on Monday, March 4, 2019.

Things get pretty technical for Iditarod mushers heading out of the Rainy Pass checkpoint and into the Dalzell Gorge before Rohn and Nikolai. Plus, we hear from animal-rights activist and documentary filmmaker Fern Levitt, and we get four-time Iditarod Jeff King's take on criticism of dog mushing.

A couple days pass as the group waits out the snowstorm in a small hostel. They're able to find someone to drive them back to Rainy Pass so they can make-up their walk (No cheating!). Afterwards, they jump back on the road and head to Grand Coulee. While in Grand Coulee, John gets some depressing news.Music:"Day Break" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Friday Morning" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Bittersweet" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Midsummer Sky" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"There is Romance" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
