season TWO episode THREE:
grind mode
Elk pass. Epic mud. A relentless hike out. This one broke us a little bit and left us asking important questions: “Do we want to grind? Or do we want joy?”
show NOTES
We climbed Dial and Nippletop on Monday, July 21, 2025. (We attempted Dial once before; see Season 1, Episode 6 (“cramps and tamps”) for all the gory details.
1:25
“I don’t think anyone sets out to just hike Dial.”
Except for us. LOL.
6:17 “... for us going to Colvin and Blake”
Ummm, no. We were going to Nippletop and Dial. But it’s the same route that one would take to do Colvin and Blake, so Loree got confused!
11:54
“It’s much less a climb than a hike.”
What Loree meant to say was “It’s much less a HIKE than a CLIMB!”
