Episode 54: Mike Foote - "The relationships I've made are cooler than the things I've done"

From and FKT on the Ptarmigan Traverse, to 61,000 vertical feet skied in one day, Mike Foote is as skilled as he is at home in the mountains.

But here's question: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done?

"My first time skiing I didn't have skins, so for traction I duct-taped pine boughs to the bottom of my skis. Then I fell into a cornice overhanging a 1,500' cliff."

Listen to Mike's humble, humorous, and thoughtful recollections of a life well-lived in the mountains and deserts.

What is the coolest thing you've ever done?

Description

The G2G Rail Trail runs 130km between Guelph & Goderich, Ontario.  Note that the G2G website shows a rather lengthy detour via roads to cross the Maitland River, adding over 8km.  Runners may choose that way, or may cross the river directly by wading or swimming.  As always, it makes sense to choose your conditions to get the fastest time.
