Summary

On a bit of a departure from normal episodes, trail runner and 46 Climbs co-founder Kolby Ziemendorf joins the program this week! We talk about his attempt to hike all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks in one week to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Turns out, a trouble-some bear may or may not have thrown a wrench into those plans. We also chat about how that hike turned 46 Climbs into a national movement, and some of the nuances between trail running and normal hiking. Go check out 46Climbs.com, and keep your ears open for information about a Trail Tales 46 Climbs team! Like what you hear? Want to talk some smack?

0:00.0	What is going on? Everybody, you heard the introduction music. You know what time it is. You're listening to episode
0:21.5	number 15 of Trail Tales. My name is Kyle O'Grady and this is the podcast where I chat with
0:27.2	through hikers and peak baggers and as of today trail runners about their experiences hiking
0:33.9	and in the outdoors. Now I've got a great episode for you guys today. Honestly, I think
0:38.8	it might be my favorite one yet. It's kind of tough to say. I've had a lot of fun conversations
0:43.6	on here, but I think this one takes the cake. I don't know. Today's guest is my friend
0:48.7	Colby Zeemandorf, who is an experienced hiker and trail runner. He's definitely a bit of a different hiker compared to
0:56.3	all the through hikers I've had on pretty much all my episodes so far, but he still had a ton of
1:01.6	awesome insight nonetheless. Honestly, this episode really kind of has it all. We have multiple
1:08.7	bear stories. Colby talks a lot about why he prefers trail running
1:12.7	over normal hiking, and we chat a bunch about the charity that him and his wife, Catherine,
1:18.0	started, called 46 Climes. We talk a lot about the Adirondacks, where Colby has done most of his
1:24.1	hiking, and I always love talking about the Adirondacks because I've hiked there
1:27.6	quite a bit as well and I feel like a lot of people that are familiar with the Appalachians
1:32.0	don't really know as much about the Adirondacks. I don't know maybe that's not true but that's just
1:36.7	kind of what it seems like to me so anyways I can't wait to share this one with you guys and we're going to get into it in just a moment. Now I like to do this thing where I read
1:45.5	my five-star iTunes reviews out loud at the beginning of an episode and I got another five-star
1:51.6	review a couple days ago so I'm going to read that right now. It says, hey Kyle, my hiking partner,
1:57.8	Cranky and I Tumbles. Really enjoy your podcast. We've been listening to various
2:03.0	hiking podcasts over the past couple of years, and we agree that yours is a favorite. Thank you very
2:08.4	much. You keep the subject. You're well spoken. I don't know about that. And have some quality
2:13.8	guests on the show. Now that, I agree with. If you ever want to have some section hikers
