I was trolling Facebook a few weeks ago and noticed one of my friends updated his status to: “Be bold, our time is short. Flying to Seattle to attempt Mt. Rainier. 14,411 feet or bust. Thanks to my training partner Justin, whoever invented peanut butter, and most importantly, the girl waiting for me at the bottom.” When I found out Taylor Burroughs was setting out to climb Mt. Rainier, I knew I had to ask him for an interview
Taylor and I met in college where we worked together at the …

Scott is an established climber, even though it’s not something he picked up until he was in his 20s. I’ve got a great interview where Scott talks about him local bouldering spots, his toughest climbs, and how he gets out of “oh crap” situations. If you want more info, you can find Scott Hall on Vimeo tearing it up. I’m sure he’ll …

Today we have a great interview with Jill Homer – extreme cyclist, author and Alaskan. I think she lives about as far away from me as anyone in the USA can! Jill spends her days writing for a living, but when she’s not writing you will definitely find her on the road or on a trail in the Alaskan backcountry. She rides in all conditions – sun, rain and snow. Nothing will keep Jill from her next biking adventure.
You can find Jill on her blog Up in Alaska. She has …

He’s been kayaking around the world and done several drops over 70ft… but I’ll let you read more about that below.
My questions are in bold and his answers are just below …
