What's up everybody? Welcome to Trail Tales, the podcast where every single week, myself, Kyle O'Grady, a

through hiker, a peakbacker, a huge hiking nerd, chat with chats with

other thru hikers and other peakbaggers and other hiking nerds about their experiences on

the trail.

I am very excited to bring Colby Zemanorf, my good buddy from Clarkson, back on the show.

Many of you might know Colby as the co-founder of 46 Climes,

the charity organization that him and his now wife,

Catherine, started many years ago while they were at Clarkson

to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Colby's been on a few times before, and I know many of you listening probably

or at least familiar with 46 Climes at this point.

Maybe you even donated to my award-winning team from last year, because as we talked

about this in just a second in the episode but uh the kyle hits hiking

team was the number one fundraising team for 46 climbs last year which is awesome and uh so yeah

colby and i talk about 46 climbs we we spend most of the conversation actually talking about

the long trail and the northville plaster trail a little bit because Colby is going to be attempting a

long trail through hike this upcoming summer, which is really cool. So yeah, we kind of talk about

that compared to the NPT a little bit and we just have a good time. And at the end, at the end of

the episode, you got to stick around to the end because I tell a pretty interesting story

that has to do with 46 climbs and mostly has to do with me being a douchebag when I was in college and a 46 Climes t-shirt.

I'll leave it there. It's kind of funny. It relates to my AT Thur hike as well.

Yeah, so just listen to the end for that. For once, the guest doesn't tell the end of episode story.
