Apple PodcastsOn Episode 297 of the Enormocast, I sit down in Munising, Michigan with local Midwest legend, Paul Kuenn. In his youth near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Paul was drawn to the outdoors: fly-fishing, cross-country skiing, and finally, climbing at Devil’s Lake. Climbing became obsession which brought him to the PNW to become a guide and to Colorado to ply his craft as a guide but also a builder. But the upper midwest drew him back, and Paul set out on a mission to find and climb ice all around Lake Superior. He also created Dairyland Expeditions which specialized in alpine training in Wyoming and Montana, and guiding ice in Munising. Paul also help organized and popularize the AMGA. Now decades later, Paul still revels in the ice climbing community he helped to form on the lonely ice flows of Lake Superior and attends the Michigan Ice Fest nearly without fail since its inception in a tiny cabin on the shore of mighty Gichigami.

Hey Cutloose , I loved the podcast episode with a Simon Carter and you mentioned that you would like a few more Aussie climbers on the show.
I have Allie Pepper staying with me at the moment. She’s a Blue mountains local who has set herself the phenomenal task of climbing the worlds highest peaks with our O2. She has 6 without O2 plus another 4 with O2 at age 49. She has an insta account #alliepepperadventures
She wanted me to reach out to you as a potential guest. Look her up, she’s an amazing woman on a fascinating journey. +61410318249 is her phone number.
Keep up the good work. Btw strangely I’ve been co hosting a podcast called the Mens Mental health show for a couple of years now.
And can I also add the you put me onto Gene Wolfe who would have to be one my favorite authors.
