This episode's guest is the brilliant Kate Sielmann. A mountaineering and trekking coach, adventure, and all-round legend.  We talk about so much and I still felt that we left things on the table. Fear and risk, adventure, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Aconcagua, the Sacred Mountain, the Alps, Scotland, and we still found time to discuss our 'why's and our ambitions for the outdoors! Kate is an incredibly accomplished woman who is well worth your time on Instagram and also has an fantastic book all about training for adventure, both found here:  https://www.kate-sielmann.com/ https://www.kate-sielmann.com/book https://www.instagram.com/kate.sielmann/ The episode is also supported by the truly wonderful and inspiring Sidetracked Magazine.

https://linktr.ee/betweenthemountains  In this episode, I go over my recent trip to Georgia to climb Mount Kazbek day by day. It's just impossible to include every detail and even when editing I remembered bits that would have been fantastic to include. But tomorrow I'll remember even more.  I also cut in segments from interviews I did with three of the people from the trip.  I hope you enjoy it!  ------------------------------------------- If you enjoy the show please: Subscribe/follow so that you don’t miss another episode; Share with a friend;  Leave a rating on iTunes; and Leave a rating on Spotify (press the three dots).
