On Episode 290 of the Enormocast, I sit down in a cool, dark hotel room on a bright and HOT day in Lander, WY with bigwall climber, Hayden Jamieson. Hayden and I both slumped into our chairs after escaping the 100 degree day outside and tried to gather ourselves for the interview, and that’s when Hayden began the tale that you hear on the show: Pakistan, protruding bones, blood, pain, anguish and heroism from his partners. Underneath this harrowing tale are obvious questions to contemplate: why climb? why go back? how do we honor those who do not come back from the mountains? And to cap it off, we end with Hayden’s comeback in Cochamó. Check your knot for this one, and try not to drive off the road.
