237: Colorado Fourteeners Winter FKT with Chris Fisher

April 29, 2023 11:11 - 1 hour - 47.4 MB

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. This episode shines in the beginning as AFB and The Murolovator Jackass around, talk literature, Nike, and more. About 45 minutes later, we are joined by our guest Chris Fisher. Instead of staying holed up in a hotel all winter, Chris went out and summited all 59 of Colorado's highest peaks.  OK so the Cultra Crew has limited dank Beta on climbing, but we do our best to play it cool, with our cool guest.  Then Chris just demolishes the Patreon list...
