Adrian Ballinger on records, rescues, deaths and more

[@daveriddle2236]

Never hurts to hear the wisdom of mountaineering expert. So very comfortable and proud to join “AB’s” Alpenglow team for a septuagenarian’s attempt at the Everest North Col.

[@laurensl2323]

What a great interview. Thanks.

[@katurakaalston8954]

Thank you for this one. Always a joy to hear from Adrian. Someone we trust!

[@TellurideJSC]

I've always liked Adrian, but after hearing him speak on this episode of your podcast I respect him so much more. His thoughts and answers to your questions are so well thought out, and he explains his feelings about the mountains and exploration in general in a way that myself and I bet many other mountain people can deeply relate to. Also his perspective of risk and risk management is top tier and what everyone should strive for in the mountains. His comment about sitting up in the sky and looking down at your life that you no longer can be apart of and thinking, was it worth it... hits home for me, as that is how I always think when I go do activities in the mountains or otherwise. Respect! Thanks for having him on once again Alan!

[@AlanArnetteClimbs]

Very pleased you enjoyed the cast. Adrian always brings a special point of view that I also enjoy.

[@barbaracohen2856]

[@AlanArnetteClimbs]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Adrian is one of my faves

[@brianbaker2062]

Great pod cast. Thank you for sharing

[@MuddyHuddy259]

It almost feels like we are all eavesdropping on this great conversation between Alan and Adrian. The topics discussed from Aaro, who may be the cutest kid ever to moral dilemmas in summit attempts, were engaging. Thank you for giving a platform for alpinists and climbers to educate the public about not only the intensity but also spiritual side of the sport.

[@AlanArnetteClimbs]

Thank you Lisa Anne. Very kind of you to take the time to comment.

[@MattinglyFanatically]

This was such a great interview. Well-balanced and thoughtful discussion throughout. I especially liked the segment on risk management. Thank you, Alan and Adrian.

[@AlanArnetteClimbs]

Appreciate this. Thanks.

Thank you❤ It did not occur to me that more experienced companies were giving their oxygen and supplies to those less experienced. That’s kind of scary. What happens if you end up needing it?? That’s a dilemma.

[@AlanArnetteClimbs]

Yes, that's the problem and the sad fact is some low-end companies count one the generosity of others so they under supply to save money and hope kind hearts will help them out.

[@loribaker8339]

@AlanArnette... I think the oxygen issue is such a serious issue that somehow, has to be policed. How that would be done is the big question. There's so many people that climb Everest now that at some point, there will have to be some kind of serious conversation and policing. Including the garbage issue! It is so inhumane that people don't watch out for themselves and expect others to give up theirs! I have never been on a mountain and never will, but the bodies left on the mountain are piling up in a gruesome way. It's disrespectful to the culture of the Nepalese. I enjoy your podcast. I'm fascinated with the country of Nepal, it's people and climbing big, cold mountains!!

[@barrykeith8]

No such thing as failure only feedback..all the best great video.

You two could make a really great climbing history miniseries pod if you wanted to

[@AlanArnetteClimbs]
