Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a 33-year McKinsey career ends on Friday — and you're on an ice wall by Saturday afternoon?Tom French, author of The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, joins us to talk about trading his corporate corner office for crampons, summiting Everest under a full moon at 2:15 AM, and why it's never too late to reclaim the passions of your younger years.Tom's story begins with a childhood shaped by legendary mountaineer Willi Unsoeld — the first man to climb Everest's West Ridge — who literally taught Tom to climb at age eight. Decades later, after raising a family and building an elite business career, Tom didn't quietly retire. He launched a gap year that stretched into three and a half extraordinary years of ice climbing, cross-country ski marathons, and two Everest expeditions.We dig into his gripping turnaround at 26,000 feet on his first summit attempt, the remote Makalu Barun approach he took on his second, and what the emotional release at base camp — not the summit — truly taught him about achievement.If you've ever felt too busy, too old, or too settled to chase a dream, this episode is for you.Episode Links:Tom on InstagramTom's WebsiteBuy a copy of The Gap YearsThis episode was Produced by Jordyn Smith, follow her on Instagram @jordyn.journeysFollow us on Instagram, @HikesandmicsThis episode's music was created by Ketsa, follow him on Instagram @Ketsamusic AllTrails+I'm excited to share that I'm now a Trailheads Ambassador for AllTrails+!

Model Verification: West Rogers Park Temperature Forecast Review  This episode analyzes the accuracy of various weather models (ICON, Meteo Blue, HR DPS, HRRR, NAM) in predicting temperatures for West Rogers Park and West Ridge from Friday night to Sunday morning. While no single model was perfect, ICON and Meteo Blue demonstrated the best overall performance due to their steady guidance. HR DPS excelled in predicting Saturday's daytime warm-up but struggled with overnight lows, while HRRR and NAM consistently underpredicted daytime temperatures.   #WeatherForecast #ModelVerification #WestRogersPark #TemperatureAccuracy #WeatherAnalysisBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Easter at West Ridge | More Than A Story | Brian Bloye 

Good Friday at West Ridge | Ambassadors of Reconciliation | John Morgan

Jahmal Cole, founder and CEO of My Block, My Hood, My City, joins Lisa Dent to talk about his mission to live in all 77 of Chicago's neighborhoods. This month, he's in West Ridge, and he updates listeners on his upcoming plans and shares how you can support his journey.

Justin Sackett googled "hardest hike" in college and ended up on a 20,000-foot peak in Ecuador with zero mountaineering experience. That failure lit a fire that led him from complete beginner to professional guide to running his own guide company at 28—all while training single-mindedly for Everest without supplemental oxygen. This episode explores his rapid progression from sport climbing newcomer to alpine guide, the mentor who gave him the technical foundation most climbers take years to develop, and the Liberty Ridge storm where 60mph winds and inadequate gear taught him brutal lessons about weather forecasts and risk tolerance. We discuss the Rainier ice block incident that made several of his friends quit guiding, why he started his own company instead of working for established services, how he vets guides and avoids hiring crusty climbers, and what training for Everest without oxygen actually looks like when you're also running a business. [Name] opens up about the genetic lottery of altitude performance, why the West Ridge of Everest represents the ultimate objective in his mind, and how he's preparing mentally for both success and failure.Topics include: becoming a mountain guide, AMGA certifications, Liberty Ridge conditions, guide company management, hiring guides, crusty climber culture, Everest without oxygen training, altitude acclimatization, post-objective depression, risk tolerance at 8,000 meters, and balancing business ownership with personal climbing goals.Watch the full episode on Youtube#amgaguides #highaltitudeclimbing #mountaineering #alpinism---Thanks to our sponsors!LIVSN DesignsCheckout Their Ecotrek Trail Pants HEREUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for an extra 15% OFF Your OrderHelp Support The Show & Unlock The Ad-Free PodcastResourcesBook Justin Sackett's Guide ServicesJustin's IG

Send The Parable Podcast a TextHave you ever studied the names of God?  Today we are on week 2 of a message from our home church, as we were finishing up a story about King Jehoshaphat and his army.  Please enjoy this message wherever it may find you today.Message NotesDo not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.'”2 Chronicles: 20:15-17 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: “Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever.” 2 Chronicles: 20:20-21As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another. 2 Chronicles: 20:22-23 “This triumph results from complete dependence on God.” Asbury Bible Commentary Yahweh Elohim El ElyonHere is the list that I was working from.  This list was helpful too.Then, led by Jehoshaphat, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies. 2They entered Jerusalem and went to the temple of the LORD with harps and lyres and trumpets. The fear of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.2 Chronicles: 20:27-29"True worship doesn't put on a show or make a fuss; true worship isn't forced, isn't half-hearted, doesn't keep looking at its watch, doesn't worry what the person in the next pew is doing. True worship is open to God, adoring God, waiting for God, trusting God even in the dark."N. T.

In this episode of The Cole Memo, we unpack two big stories shaking up the Illinois cannabis scene. First, we dive into the controversy surrounding a new dispensary planned for West Ridge, partially owned by ten former police officers. While some see it as a redemption arc, others question the ethics of former drug enforcers now profiting from the legal market. Then, Cole walks listeners through his original reporting on outdoor cannabis cultivation in Illinois. From satellite imagery to court filings, he outlines how certain cultivators were quietly permitted to grow outside under previous leadership—until new leadership tried to shut it down, triggering lawsuits from industry giants like Curaleaf. With stringent testing requirements in place, is it finally time Illinois allows more flexibility in how and where cannabis is grown?

Ever find it difficult to extend grace to others? Today I would love to share one of my recent messages from our home church (West Ridge), please enjoy this message wherever it may find you today.Message Notes:Extend Grace to others and not allow the junk to get to you.   We have cause to celebrate because the grace of God has appeared, offering the gift of salvation to all people. Titus 2:11 The Voice What can happen when we don't deal grace to the challenging people in our life? Complete obstruction.  Choosing to stay, when you should be moving forward.  Is it time to let go? Grace arrives with its own instruction: run away from anything that leads us away from God; abandon the lusts and passions of this world; live life now in this age with awareness and self-control, doing the right thing and keeping yourselves holy. Titus 2:121.Ask if it is worth it?2.Set Boundaries 3.Repeated Prayer God our Savior and His overpowering love and kindness for humankind entered our world; He came to save us. It's not that we earned it by doing good works or righteous deeds; He came because He is merciful. He brought us out of our old ways of living …and He made us completely new through the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:4-5 Reflection Questions:1.   Ask if is it worth it? – I am pretty sure this is the top phrase I ask my kids when they are in a fight or upset with each other.  Is whatever happened – worth holding onto anymore, is it worth thinking about?2.   Set Boundaries - Now I know some of these people are your family or co-workers and you can't just not see them anymore.  But, you can choose to decide how much access they have to your life.  Connect with Danielle | Instagram#theparablepodcast #yourstorymatters #christianpodcast #hope #whatIlearned #faith #grace #extendinggrace # TitusHow to support The Parable Podcast: #1 Subscribe or Follow the show so you don't miss the next episode of The Parable Podcast through your favorite podcast app (i.e. iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher). #2 Share this show with a friend, this is a perfect opportunity to start your own Parable Conversation together. #3 Are you in need of a speaker for your Church, Women's Group, or event?

Today I pick the brain of the amazing Jost Kobusch is a German mountaineer who spent two seasons on Everest trying to ascend the legendarily difficult West Ridge route and the Hornbein Couloir alone. And did I mention that he wasn't using supplemental oxygen and attempting this in the middle of the brutal Himalayan winter?  We covered a TON of interesting topics, including Why do things the hardest way? His closest call in the mountains The dangers of the Khumbu Icefall Getting hit by an avalanche at Everest Base Camp His preferred diet for performance at high altitude Training for high altitude Dealing with injuries And more I hope you enjoy this!  Share it with a friend if you do! Stephan Kesting P.S. In 2015 Jost was about to climb Everest when an earthquake triggered an avalanche that destroyed Everest Base Camp.  Here's the footage he filmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JC_wIWUC2U P.P.S. At age 21 Jost became the youngest person to solo Ama Dablam, a 6812 meter mountain in the Himalayas.  Here's a documentary about that climb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVG9U8UoT2I P.P.P.S.
