In Part 1, Doc and Rad cover the practical differences between thru-hiking and high-altitude mountaineering (vertical feet vs. horizontal miles, sled-hauling for the first seven days, 24-hour summit pushes at minus 25), the Denali poop management system and what happens to your waste bucket at minus 20 degrees, and the story of the Diving Board — a mental image Rad has carried since childhood in Kenya and spent three cloud-socked attempts finally getting the shot on. There is also an extended digression about the worst job in the world that goes from backcountry pit toilets to Tanzanian long drops to the near-death experience Rad had when a concrete platform collapsed mid-dump and he had to dive through the door. His score of 22 is, by his own assessment, a career low on the sanity scale, and he seems proud of it. Part 2 drops in 10 minutes.","meta_description":"Chris \"Rad\" Carter is back — this time married, Chattanooga-based, and fresh off the summit of Denali.
